The last time I was in the United States was in January; the first known local case of Covid-19 had just been detected in Seattle and the virus was beginning to spread across the West Coast. The World Health Organization hadn't yet declared the coronavirus a pandemic.
When I arrived for my test appointment at a Manhattan hospital, I was told to follow signs leading to a makeshift"testing center". A nurse was there, anticipating my arrival, and explained how the procedure would pan out. She reassured me that I would get my results in 24 to 48 hours. Then, without much warning, she stuck a long cotton swab up my right nostril, wriggled it around for seven seconds and stored the sample in a plastic container.
There were eight airport staff standing by the security checkpoint -- although there were only two travelers passing through. Before Covid-19 caused disruption to travel, security screenings at JFK would typically take 20 to 30 minutes -- this time, the whole process lasted less than three. At the airport, signs guided travelers from high-risk countries to a testing site at Terminal 2. Along the way, airport security staff checked health declaration forms, ensuring that all details like local ID card numbers, phone numbers and hotel quarantine addresses were properly filled out. Each passenger was given a personalized QR code to pass through each station efficiently.
There was just enough space on either side of my bed to stretch out and exercise. I had a view of Victoria Park, the green lungs of the busy commercial district below me. Like many of the high-rise buildings around Hong Kong, my windows were locked for safety reasons.
The fact is that she just be isolated due to pandemic.
any pictures?
I’m surprised they let an American in.
Sad you can’t have a conservative dr to fix you up in a day,it’s pathetic to not treat anyone to push a lying political narrative because you’re a radical left democrat too hungry for power to stop lying about everything!
