that the federal government’s job would be mostly managing the logistics of testing such as supplies and distribution of state funds, as opposed to overseeing the coordination of state testing plans.
Our analysis revealed that, in many cities, testing sites in and near predominantly Black and Hispanic neighborhoods are likely to serve far more patients than those near predominantly white areas.A similar disparity exists between richer and poorer neighborhoods, our analysis showed: Testing resources were more scarce in poorer areas, with fewer sites per person and sites located farther away.
And our calculation of potential demand for testing at some sites in those underserved neighborhoods is likely an underestimation: Based on our reporting, many of the testing sites in those neighborhoods are government-funded community sites. These sites are set up to close the gaps in testing access in different communities, but they tend to be very popular among people from all across the county or urban area because they are often free and don’t require an appointment.
the health care disparities underlying geographic access to testing. “The lack of access for those most vulnerable to infections will only serve to intensify the impact of this pandemic.”MONTINIQUE MONROE / GETTY IMAGESenneth Hamilton, 31, had been waiting for four hours in the line to take a COVID-19 test at Houston’s NRG Stadium.

lmao
/2, maddow, do residents of Santa Barbara and Goleta have to go to Beverly Hills or Malibu to get tested? SenHannahBeth carbajalsalud, why can’t we get drive thru testing weekly? Test results taking 10-15 days is also ridiculous. Now more downtown streets are being closed
And also the athletes are getting them more often then they should which is less tests for the rest of the world
So is a quality steak.
always has been
Jeez, when it started every NBA player were tested daily and NOBODY else could get a test 🤦♂️
wealthier, whiter neighborhoods is that supposed to symbolize their better than everyone else, bc last i checked no matter the race we are all in this together.
Fear porn
What isn't?
I have to tell you I think it matters what state you're living in cuz California has a lot of testing facilities in rural areas around Central California primarily Hispanics
The first ABC race-baiting story of the day. Many more to follow......
As it should be. Wealthy white people are the ones paying for the nationwide testing anyway.
And it is in those neighborhoods you have to pay $90.00 for what might not be a test with a high accuracy history
It's even easier to get coronavirus test if one is an Official in government of/by/for the people...or an ATHLETE.
