In about those words, the liar in chief promised that anyone needing or wanting a test would get one. Nothing further from the truth.
Yesterday I got several calls from one of my clients, for whom I had prepared and filed his 2019 1040, which, as I was having a very busy day, I had to let them go the answering service. Early this afternoon I returned the calls, and to my utter surprise, he proceeded to tell me that he tested positive for the virus, and is in quarantine in his house, with mild to strong symptoms. He had called me to let me know of the situation, as we had a face to face appointment in which I gave him his copy of the return for his files and his paperwork and he paid me for my services.
I am in what is considered a high risk group, as I am over 68 years old and diabetic.
I called my primary care doctor immediately, but he was not available. The doctor on call returned my phone call later, and told me that unless I have strong symptoms, I won’t have a test. The hospital has a very limited resource of tests, and they are given only in extreme need, basically if you’re taking to the emergency room just about to die.
I have a conference call scheduled with my Primary Care Doctor this coming Monday at 8.00 am. I hope that my fears can be eased by him.
I have the strong feeling that I did not get contaminated, as I haven’t experienced anything as yet, but I also may be in the incubation period or be an asymptomatic carrier. I don’t know.
I live with my wife and adult son, but I am in constant contact with my daughters and grandchildren, and I worry a lot more about them than myself.
It is not fair that in this country a person that has been exposed (by whatever circumstances) can not get a test to verify his or her status. The abomination that is occupying the White House is doing a lousy job in protecting the people of the United States.
We need to vote in mass this coming November to bring our country back to the Great Country it was during the Obama administration.
Just a rant!! Thanks for letting me get this out of my system.
Bless you all, and bless America!
