Who should pay for quarantine and testing?

@fallenturtle

I’m assuming if they went through all that trouble to quarantine him that they also took precautions when transporting him to and from the CT scanner.

why do they ct scan for a virus?

[WildRose]

That isn’t what you said or what I quoted.

@fallenturtle

And if he did have the coronavirus all that time spent doing the paperwork, getting the test, waiting for results, he could be spreading the disease.

To detect Pneumonia

Ah…interesting. I thought that was an X-ray.

[WildRose]

X Ray isn’t nearly as sensitive or definitive as CT.

Azcue said he heard from his insurer that he would also have to provide additional documentation: three years of medical records to prove that the flu he got didn’t relate to a preexisting condition.

hmmmm… what difference would that make? It’s unlawful to discriminate in coverage for a preexisting condition.

I smell an extremely slanted story that’s likely lose with the facts.

Dunno. I assume its something to do with it being a respiratory infection.

[WildRose]

Very good point. The preclusion on exclusions for PE’s is still in full force.

[WildRose]

Pneumonia is the way to distinguish between the Flu and Covid19 without testing.

If they are positive on the CT then you need to test.

I beg your pardon?

@DougBH

Don’t ignore it. Take the flu test first. When the flu test comes back in about 30 minutes, and you know what strain of flu you have, then ignore it.

@fallenturtle

You don’t think they should take extra precautions for someone who was in China?

@DougBH

If they have flu type symptoms and test positive for flu? No.

@fallenturtle

And if he did have the coronavirus all that time spent doing the paperwork, getting the test, waiting for results, he could be spreading the disease.

[WildRose]

No you didn’t. You’re arguing over testing vs the CT, he was already in the quarantine room.

[tnt]

Oh jeez…here comes another 20 posts arguing the semantics of a few words…

[fallenturtle]

Why the hell are you trying to pick a fight with me? I know what I was arguing about, I’m the one who thought it and then typed it into a computer. I was arguing that they should have taken the proper precautions and isolated him and then test him instead of first doing a flu test before isolating him which seemed to be what @DougBH was arguing they should have done.

[WildRose]

I can read, there’s nothing to argue, the debate was over which test to give him not about putting in in quarantine. He was already in the quarantine room.

Why. That is a very fair question.

Where are you getting “he was already in the quarantine room” from?

As far as which test/scan to do, I think that should be decided by the people treating him.

Which question?

[kingarthur65]

@fallenturtle

Which question?

The question you posed to WR.
When you asked why he was trying to pick a fight with you.

[fallenturtle]

As best as I can tell WR misunderstood me and when confronted with this seems to have decided to double down on it instead of accepting the mix up. Kind of ■■■■■■ up, but that’s the internets for you. I think we’re actually in agreement on the topic of the OP but I guess he just wants to fight about something.
