This article really bothers me. I know for a fact that I have known five people ask to be tested and were denied because they were not out of the country. I heard today that Escambia was considered.....poor people so we most likely won't catch it..... Wow, really. It doesn't matter if you weren't out of the country somebody you stood by could ofbeen before the 14 day quarantine. So when does the patient have the right to be tested or refuse medical advice. When did it become the receptionist descision to tell you if a procedure can me done?? Hmmm…… This article really bothers me.

I have heard from two people in the medical profession that a batch of tests have been lost. I am wondering if the tests were from March 18th, since we have no results yet people who were tested after have gotten theirs. We have called, emailed and have only gotten the reply, thank you for your patience. My family member was tested on March 18th and still no results.

But the last two Sundays there have been more than 60 cars at the Bible Baptist church on Jernigan and JoJo. Since mainly families attending they would be far more than 60 people most likely in this building. Definitely not following the 6 put social distancing rule. This chart should definitely have ability to reach their members through internet or television as I saw Dr. Ruckman do drawings and preach on television for many many years. When I checked two weeks ago with the sheriff's office they said the decision had been left up to the church leaders to open or not. That's just doesn't seem safe for the rest of the public to allow this to continue.

They are backed up, but I can't fault any health care worker since I know they are working very hard. I was tested on the 20th from the drive thru and got my results back yesterday (negative).

My Dad had been out of State recently in Ohio for a Mandatory Court Hearing for an Eviction removal of the Tentant whom was renting from him. He fell really ill after being in Ohio. Running a high fever, cough, running nose, sore throat, headache, diarrhea & even loosing his voice. All the symptoms of COVID-19. Anyway, My Parents tests came back the very next day & they were told over the phone that the test results were both Negative for the COVID-19. My Dad is still really sick. I think the results may have been wrong. What if they were mixed up or done to quickly. I mean could that be the case with a lot of people?? Does anyone else feel the same as I do?? I think my Dad should get retested!! I will not go around my Parents for the fact I have "LUPUS" & "ASTHMA." Plus, my LUPUS has caused other underlying health conditions. What they say in the Statement above how they test at one place/Hospital then send them out to different places to get the results...how do we know they don't get mixed up, lost, or who knows what happens!! I think they should have come out with rapid response tests that you know the results right then & there so there's NO way to get them mixed up or lost. Plus, kits they could just send to you at home so you can do them from the convenience of your home & your not going anywhere spreading the COVID-19!! THIS IS MY STORY, MY THOUGHTS, & MY OPINION!!
