Just got a call from the Jefferson Parish Emergency System letting me know that I can get tested at the Alario Center right now with no wait time!

Also, I can get tested whether I am symptomatic or asymptomatic!

Wife (no pics) got the same call on her cell and office phone.

Looks like we need to keep this thing shut down indefinitely.

Yep, they are dying to keep this thing going for more fed money.

If people stop deciding to get tested, the charade is over and they can't justify anything.

I'd go if there's free donuts.

That's when state of emergency "mandatory testing" would come into play. They won't let it go without a fight

i thought Cynthia was trying to open Jefferson but Destroya was leading the charge to keep the entire general area shut down

The increased testing is part of the white house protocol for opening up. They are just trying to test people as a means of opening so, in fact, you are helping the process of opening up not giving away your rights.

I would like to see a antibody study done in Orleans and Jefferson parish. I'd bet it would be 30+ % positive and I would also bet the same for the LA African American communities

Or - as many start to push that "% of test results positive" is the key statistic instead of total positives, we will need more negative tests to keep our % positive rate down - you do that by soliciting people that you don't think have it, and giving them tests.

If it's saliva only I'm down, but wouldn't get the brain jab unless I really thought I had it.

That call had my elderly mother upset, she thought she had to go because why else would anyone robo call her to be tested?
