Do I have COVID-19??? (w/ garden pic) 1

Why can’t a tax-paying American get a test for COVID-19? I mean, I can’t even get a doctor to see me. My symptoms are too mild. Apparently you need double pneumonia before they’ll test you, or at least be at high risk for it. It’s just maddening!
But at least my little outdoor project is going well:

population control. either your in or your out. I like your outdoor bed I tried that once and didn't have any success. I hope you don't have it that'd be a bummer.

There's standalone testing centers and drive thru testing centers by me. I believe you have to be pre-screen for symptoms online, or over the phone. I'm assuming that they're testing anyone who has a fever and cough, and the more serious cases are off to the hospital. But that might be wishful thinking.

In places where it is not as widespread you have to get like three different flu tests and a strep test before you get the covid test because of limited availability. And or you have to be very sick, as said before by OP.

It's not that widespread near me yet. In some neighboring counties it is and they're shutting it all down, but there's only 1 confirmed case in my county.
Unfortunately that person literally got diagnosed at the hospital up the street from me, but as of this morning when I checked there were no more.
We are a bit of a population hub and have a behemoth of a regional health system running shit, so I'm lucky in that regard.
