That seems like an unfortunate setup. What if you're afraid you were exposed?

Also, I think a lot is going to depend on how well these little outbreaks are contained. If it starts spreading through all of FBS, I bet the plug gets pulled. A 0.01% mortality rate probably starts looking pretty scary to those in charge of a system with more than 10,000 athletes.

Really. And I thought anyone wanting a test could get one? Especially someone in healthcare. That’s a serious question. Not trying to be political.

Every State has different policies with testing. In some places, health care workers cannot get Asymptomatic testing because it would lead to an otherwise healthy worker being isolated for a period of time. By only testing those with symptoms, they avoid that possibility.

I work in Health Care in Memphis, but I live in Arkansas. If I wanted to get Asymptomatic testing in Arkansas, I could walk in to any clinic 5 days a week and get it. If I wanted to do it in Memphis? No chance. Likewise, if I came back positive, by Arkansas rules, I'd be isolated for 7 days from the date of testing, and provided I am not running a fever by then I'd be declared recovered. By Memphis rules, I'd be isolated for 10-14 days minimum, and would often be required to test negative a second time to be cleared.

It is what it is. Every State and county health department have their own ideas on how to deal with this.

Northwest Arkansas experiences a huge boom of COVID cases, sees a 250 percent increase in positive cases per day for weeks on end, and everything is open for business with only a few social distancing requirements and messages from leadership that we need to live our lives.

Memphis experiences a slight increase in cases for a single day because of an outbreak in a county jail and health officials were threatening to go back to lockdowns.

I'm not sure either way is correct, but its certainly frustrating to deal with.

we've been seeing more than 'slight' increases lately...

But your increases have been small in comparison. You had one day with 190 cases, but the rest of the time has generally been 100 new cases a day, sometimes slightly more, sometimes slightly less

We went from having 75 new cases a day as a state to 450 new cases a day. Gigantic difference
