The second largest US municipal health system has given up on testing people


The nation’s second-largest municipal health system has told its staff that it is essentially abandoning hope of containing the coronavirus outbreak and instructed doctors not to bother testing symptomatic patients if a positive result won’t change how they would be treated.The guidance, sent by the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services to its doctors on Thursday, was prompted by a crush of patients and shortage of tests, and could make it difficult to ever know precisely how many people in L.A. County contracted the virus.Does anyone dare criticise China for "lack of transparency". We can't even hide public health detection stats because we can't collect.In a rage tbqh. The same rage as watching people left to die in Katrina.https://ift.tt/2Jgz6RL via /r/communism https://ift.tt/2WDvOjn
