No testing at the hospital or health deprt? They need volunteers that bad? Prepare for hundreds of false positives. If you test pos you'll be quickly taken away, no family/friends allowed. You''l be encouraged to get worse and submit to the ventilator, a tube inserted into your lungs that will destroy them.
Its not all just for the money per patient.

What do you think the fallout of this will be? Obviously we are going to have a bunch of people test positive who never knew they had it. I'm betting a lot of businesses might have to close after the test results come in. You can't stay open if a few of your employees test positive.

At least we finally can have drive through testing on the shore. You guys can thank Hogan and South Korea for that.

I hope there are trusted people out in the hispanic/latino/haitian communities doing outreach for this testing. This because sick or not many will not show up to be tested. Many are not eligible for any of the covid benefits so they want and need to work

Just called the Hot Line on the flyer and this is for Poultry employees and families only! The Flyer is extremely misleading! Joe please fact check and post this on the top! Other sites won’t do anything!

@8:08 it is definitely not the millennials that are spreading this virus. Its the Boomers and Gen X! If you watch the news, those are the ones who are doing all the protests, they are the ones who have the highest rate of infections, they are the ones out and about ignoring everything and not taking this serious at all.

Trust me, us millennials are more than happy to sit at home and do nothing but watch netflix and play video games, while the boomers walk about with no mask on and complain about their constitutional rights.

Even people eligible for covid benefits want to work. Get on with whatever and get businesses open again. People are going beserk sitting around at home. It's beyond ridiculous now.

They need to hold classes for people to show them how you wear them.

As this is true, they also do do not want to subject their family to the risk of them getting it.

Question...why are chicken plant workers the first/only people to get tested?? Shouldn't everyone still workibg with the public be given the same opportunity??

More people will test positive, that's expected and that's okay. Many people have it or had it, and are doing fine. The 100 or so patients being transferred to Salisbury University is a good example of that.

Yes, people have died from it, and that's a tragedy. The good news is, it's not fatal to the majority of the population.

They are considered high risk due to the close working conditions and the fact that there has been an explosion of positive cases in people associated with the processing plants. Really though unless you've been exposed or are showing symptoms the last thing you want to do is go anywhere near a testing site.

Not just the majority but it's not fatal to an overwhelming majority. With that in mind if you are high risk then only go in public when necessary and make an effort to stop the hand to face connection. Leave you phone in the car if you can or atleast don't touch it until you've washed you hands. I see people all day long with a mask on touching it, adjusting it etc. Mask do not prevent infection they prevent spread. To prevent infection you would need to wear mask along with face shield and biohazard suit.

Why do this testing? Much like delaware than it can be reported the cases are still rising and nothing can be reopened. Can’t reopen the beaches when 30 miles is declared a “hot spot.” Just watch how this is spun next week.
