From Reddit
At this point, the hospital called the CDC requesting permission to perform the COVID-19 testing. The CDC denied the request on the ground that I did not have the most life-threatening symptoms: chest pain and shortness of breath. According to everything I read it’s very likely not to have these symptoms if you’re in your 30’s and relatively healthy. ….. But I don’t think that many people are aware of the fact that they’re actively not testing people for COVID-19, even people who have travel history to high-risk places.
Hmmm. “The CDC denied the request”
OK, two things. The first is that it’s weird that the CDC would deny the request. (Is it though? Trump and all?) The second is that administering the test requires CDC approval.Report

This is gonna get ugly.
