This is how nuts it is to even try to get tested for coronavirus even now

My son said he couldn't sleep last night because of dealing with all this. He has a Bachelor of Science in nursing from one of the California state universities in Southern California. He was telling me how when he tried to get tested first they wanted to interview him for an hour or more (at their convenience not his by the way) and they wanted 150 dollars for this. And this interview of 1 1/2 hours or more was before they would even consider granting him an appointment to get tested for coronavirus. And he was only doing this as a favor to us because we are meeting in Mt. Shasta for the 4th. After talking to him after he lost a nights sleep over this he decided (and we agreed with him) that it was more likely to Get Coronavirus while being tested and interviewed than the possibility of already having had it and he and we agreed this was BS and ridiculous and he shouldn't get the test.

This is how ridiculous it still is in the U.S. and why the U.S. is going to lose hundreds of thousands of people to coronavirus because people are being so ridiculous and impractical about all this.

The way this all is being handled is a formula for hundreds of thousands of deaths here in the U.S. by this time next year. I'm thinking the real number will be around 1 million tested and untested  deaths at this point.

So, that would look like about 333,000 people tested by this time next year dead.
