ZURICH/LAUSANNE - The World Health Organization called on all countries on Monday to ramp up their testing programmes as the best way to slow the advance of the coronavirus pandemic. “We have a simple message to all countries - test, test, test,” WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a press conference in Geneva.

Without testing, cases could not be isolated and the chain of infection would not be broken, he added.

What not the fact that children die from this, what about isolate isolate isolate

I went to hospital for a test as I felt flu like symptoms and my husband cane home from the US 7 days ago, they refused to test saying I wasn’t at risk. How would we know if we had been exposed when nobody is being tested?

Weird. Our county Health Dept just emailed everyone and said, 'don't test unless critically ill.' They actually emailed this 1hr ago. America is failing. It's so sad.

And our government is apparently gambling on the Herd immune methode as an attempt to flatten the curve in a shocking speech of our MinPres tonight. That seem like such a gamble on the lives of so many. WHO And if it is not right why is our country not listening?

If only the US had tests and used them. CoronavirusOutbreak coronavirus COVID2019
