Speaking of testing... It appears that as of now, nobody is being charged to have a test for this virus taken, though this could change. To me, this is the #1 story to follow  about this virus. If testing is free, almost everyone will want it. That will see the numbers of reported cases drastically increase for a while, but this will give public health planners the information needed to take measures hat will slow the spread. On a related note, I did read a letter to Congress yesterday from an infectious disease association calling on them to fund widespread testing, so seems there is momentum for that. At this point it seems quite unlikely we are going to have to pay for tests out of our pocket with co-pays, etc. I'm super curious how we setup drive-thru or walk-up testing and if it will vary from country to county or state to state. There really is no need for a visit to a medical clinic to get tested.
