Last I read they'd made testing free for people with insurance. That's a VERY different thing.
Given his history on employee rights I'd expect him to threaten any affected employee with the loss of their job to a robot if they take time off.
Is there any instance where panic makes things better? We hear reports of people attacking Chinese looking folks and fighting over masks and other shit like that... How is that not dumb? You guys know what panic means right?
That being said Musk is probably upset for his stock market.
Just had a emergency staff meeting today discussing that impact of Covid on our business(my day job, not HDTVtest). If it gets much worse than it is now, some will be facing redundancy. As one of the newest hires, this makes me super nervous
probably won't help at this point. the cases they are catching are from people who have travelled, but they've likely already got it in each country by now. the more effective thing to do seems to be shutting things down on a national level but no one outside of asia seems to be doing that except maybe italy.
Elon obviously about to unveil a crazy technological idea to try to solve the global coronavirus crisis so he can be a hero. Let's just hope he doesn't call the scientists who actually save us from this crisis paedophiles when he throws his toys out of the pram again.

It was odd, the firefighter thought, how many calls were coming from the Life Care nursing facility in Kirkland.

What industry/business are you in if you don't mind me asking? Thoughts are with you, I know uncertainty can be anxiety inducing having been in that situation before.
I suppose I'm lucky that I work for, would you believe it, one of the global leading manufacturers of safety equipment including face masks/BA/respirators for industry. We're years away from meeting demand with those products right now of course - sadly that's not my market segment within the business! Must be a good time to work in the hand sanitiser and hand wash business too.
If it's a whole load of nothing like he's been claiming, he shouldn't be worried at all.
Oh but I thought it was no big deal Donny? You just work it off!
I think the problem is Musk's message is easy to interpret multiple ways. Yes, full blown panic helps nothing and often harms. But people taking precautions, ensuring they have a small, reasonable stockpile and taking recommended evidence based precautions in the community is not dumb. People will absolutely use high profile opinions like this to assert that the latter is dumb and that life should just go on entirely as normal, which will make the population-level response more difficult to control.
THis is a good questionaire to ask yourself if you should cancel your travel plans:

Apparently a company was developing a SARS vaccine back in 2016 that could have been repurposed for covid-19, but they were never able to develop it because they couldn't get the funding:
This was talked about during the congressional hearing yesterday. Guy was explaining what happened like that article.

Maybe wait until shit's peer reviewed before posting stuff like this? Helps nobody.
super common. Most new antibiotics can't get funded either because they're an unprofitable money sink. This is why insurance and profit needs to be REMOVED from the US healthcare system and these half-assed "public option for those who want it" deals moderate Americans want arent good enough.
Depends on the local set up which you could find out from calling your local public health resource, but the emphasis should be: unless you actually need urgent/emergent medical care, don't use it. People should not be going to emergency just to see if they have it. 85% of people will have a mild course with this, so if there's no available testing which doesn't require you to come into contact with other patients (ie. home test, drive through as in S. Korea) probably best just to wait it out and minimize contact to minimize spread. Introducing new cases into a hospital/emergency setting - especially one that doesn't currently have it - would be a seriously negative contribution to the outbreak.
No I believe your state or city should have a hotline to call. They will give you instructions, they don't want people coming in and potentially spreading at medical facilities that aren't equipped.
Or, it could be a point of discussion... This is a discussion thread. The virus was found in the brain tissue of a cadaver that died of COVID-19. I didn't post it to scare anyone, but hiding from new info isn't helpful to anyone.
As others have said, a local hotline is the best option, they will know if your symptoms worsen where you need to go. Going to a random urgent care place seems pretty foolhardy.
I along with others I know adjusted their schedule today to plan for him to come, and then adjusted it again when we learned he wasn't. Now we're fucked. I'm gonna be stuck in probably even worse traffic than if he woulda came originally. God I hate him.
The potential profit is what drives innovation and these pharmaceutical companies to invest much time and money into the research and development of these things.
Don't go to urgent care. I don't know where you live but in the UK for example you'd call 111 and speak to the NHS and they may well send you to urgent care but they'd probably have you seen to outside rather than expose everyone inside. If it was an emergency then as always you'd call 999.
That's a serious plot twistSo it appears the first virus transmission in Italy was caused by a business man from Munich (Germany) that went to Codogno (where the first italian cases originated from).
Munich was one of the first clusters in Europe.

If you live in the US and have reason to believe you were exposed, call your local health department or PCP (or a hotline if your local government has established one) and ask for instructions.
Unless you're experiencing severe symptoms, you don't want to just show up to the clinic or ER. That puts the staff and other patients at risk, and at this time, there may not be anything they could do for you even if you are positive (there's no real treatment, and there's a severe limit on who and how many people can even be tested).
I'm planning on some international work in a month and won't be returning to my country for three months. I dunno if I should should be concerned about what the world / travel will be like by that time, or just go with the flow.

But hey, I'm not a mod so you do you.
that's why R&D should be subsidized and performed by the government, and the government should drive the innovation agenda, not for-profit companies. With companies in charge of the agenda and the price, only the most profitable drugs are made and used to extort the public.
It is not from an unverified or disreputable source. That's talking about posting from tabloids or random websites with no sources.
Alrighty, the answers here were good and informative. It was more of a precautionary question. This virus is not slowing down, I live in a large metro area, and I'm constantly working in a pharmacy with overtime literally every week. I'm clutching my hand sanitizer at work though.
Nano-submarines which can modify RNA to be injected in to everyone with symptoms.
Unfortunately the nano-submarines are the size of coke bottles and have difficulty navigating the human venous system.
