How to seek testing for coronavirus according to state health departments

Connecticut

• Connecticut has a coronavirus website that refers people to the CDC’s guidance on whether you should be tested.
• Call your provider or local health department for more information.
• NBC News reached out to the Connecticut State Department of Health with additional questions and is awaiting a response.

Westport is a hotbed due to one stupid party 2 weeks ago.

Westport is a hotbed due to one stupid party 2 weeks ago.

I'm surprised it's not more widespread throughout Fairfield County simply because of the trains taking people daily to and from a hot spot like Manhattan. The first thing I would have done to slow the spread was stop all the commuter trains MetroNorth, PATH, NJTransit, etc.

Best wishes to all.
The best site I have found in terms of a global view of spread is Johns Hopkins - they update frequently during the week less frequently over the weekends and seem to be getting numbers as quickly as any government site. CDC at noon today had not updated since Friday 4 PM for example.

Not sure how accurately or frequently some countries are publishing their data.
There is another JH site that publishes a daily bulletin of major news five days a week.

They also have free access to their research on corona virus.

Westport is a hotbed due to one stupid party 2 weeks ago.

Been waiting for this. Wilton could be next. The party was not stupid at the time, unless the person knew they were sick. I’m wondering how much of this originated in new Rochelle,

 

[JordyG]

They're already starting public trials of vaccines. The speed of these trials is unprecedented.

 

[CL82]

Thanks for posting the site. There’s a case less than 5 miles away, Not that it matters except as a reminder to be vigilant about handwashing, etc.

 

[Plebe]

Here's the thing. Case counts and case maps are important to have, but they only show "confirmed cases," i.e. those who have tested positive. But due to the generalized unavailability of testing, we can be certain that these represent only a very small percentage of those who actually have it. We are way behind the curve in even knowing where the disease is.

I came across this 8 minute video yesterday, from 5 years ago. Some really interesting policy ideas about containing future outbreaks. The enormous human and economic impacts of the current crisis make this interesting to ponder... could this kind of preparedness be cheaper? Possibly even a hellavalot cheaper?

The party was stupid in that it was to say goodbye to someone who was visiting from a country overseas and who had come from there having a high probability of exposure - everyone there knew where the person had come from and ignored the risk. We knew 3 weeks ago that parts of the world were major risks, ergo "stupid".

One problem unique to Coronavirus (and the opposite of Ebola) that Gates did not touch on is that it happens in a society that suppressed the information early and did not want outside help.

It is very highly likely that there are thousands of patients infected. The state just doesn't have the tests and tests with reagent to actually test people. An official in Ohio estimated that there are 100,000 patients there.

We just don't know because of the lack of tests.

When will a coronavirus vaccine be ready?

From The Guardian UK.

Addendum. One more link from NYT:

Hundreds of Scientists Scramble to Find a Coronavirus Treatment

 

[CL82]

Virus is .9 of a mile closer today than yesterday. Digging a Purell moat around the house. Anyone know someone who has, oh I don't know, 17,000 bottles of that stuff that they are looking to offload?

 

[Rixxx]

The source of those 17,000 bottles have already been donated. You just missed out CL82.

Governor just said that 68 infected. The head of infectious diseases for the state said that there are probably 100 infected patients for every one that's tested. That means 7,000 infected in the state today.

Regarding the basketball season, Dr Cartter, head of infections diseases for CT Dept of Public Health said just now that he expects waves of COVID-19 infections- a spring wave (now), then a slowdown in the summer. Then a fall wave. Then likely another wave next spring.

If that's what happens we might not have WCBB in 20/21.

Agree that there are a lot more cases but tests are just a part of the equation. According to the experts (Brix and Fauci) the tests are just a small part of the equation. They are reserved for people that are symptomatic and not intended as a screening tool.

Should have stayed in Jersey...​

 

[Jmsdawg]

Coronavirus epidemic is affecting my life. I do not have the virus nor do I know anyone who is infected. My wife and I are both in the high risk population. My granddaughter school has shut down until 15 April and she was staying with us during the day while her mom and dad were at work. My granddaughter wants to continue interacting with her friends and we, the family, have decided social distancing means lessening contact with each other. Hell to be old!

 

[CL82]

This seem so daunting. I'd look forward to the recovered number going up in time.

Here I was tucked into bed peacefully isolating from the world when wouldn't you know it? A 5.7 earthquake rather rudely shakes me awake so I can go stand outside with the rest of the building.
