She was sent home from work after someone she's been training went home with a fever.
She got a fever 3 days later.
Since she doesn't meet the criteria for testing and there's been no documented community spread in Pittsburgh yet, she CANNOT get tested.
I mean - WTF?? How many people have symptoms like hers and can't get tested?
Keep her in your thoughts please. I just want her fever to break.

UPDATE: after waiting in line for awhile at an incredibly busy drive through testing center, testing DENIED.
Reason - she is not short of breath and her 02 sats are 99.
They refused to test her and sent her home.
So much for valuable surveillance data, contact tracing and isolating infected people.
It's everywhere, we just aren't sure who because apparently you have to be severely ill and in need of a respirator or ventilator to get tested.
