They are fully geared up, found a stash of masks and gloves. Going to grab a bunch and sell on amazon for $100/per mask 😷😀
So you're going to steal from a hospital to sell them on Amazon?  :o

I am at A NYC hospital with an elderly family member who has fever and bad cough but they are saying they would not do a corona test unless he was actually with someone who has a confirmed case because they do not have enough test.

It’s crazy, I would think they should test as many people as they can to rule it out. Hospitals seem very ill prepare do prevent an outbreak
Is there any difference in treatment if it's Covid19 or not?  So for your relative it makes no difference if he's tested.
It matters to your extended family and his caretakers. And it may be a regular or flu.

Presumably the patient isn't in quarantine in the interim...

My job entails daily visits to nursing homes and people’s homes across NJ. Should I be concerned?

Why are so many employees showing symptoms? It seems that hand washing etc doesn't really help unless you're all masked up?

well one question is what does "showing symptoms" mean here?

It means WA doesn't have enough test kits so they are prioritizing who gets tested, and just monitoring symptoms. Look at the line above - they only received 45 test kits.

But regardless, we already learned from China that even with full PPE that thousands of HCP were infected. The sorry excuse for what they call PPE in the US will lead to so many problems.

Doctor's interview from Bergamo (suburb of Milan)
https://www.corriere.it/cronache/20_marzo_09/coronavirus-scegliamo-chi-curare-chi-no-come-ogni-guerra-196f7d34-617d-11ea-8f33-90c941af0f23.shtml
Bottom line:  It's like a war zone in the hospital.  A central room set up in the middle of emergency ward only for COVID-19.  They pick and choose who to help...the most likely cases to survive, ie. the younger ones, not the older ones, the ones with underlying issues nor certainly the ones with three or more failing organs. No time for "regular" cases like heart attacks.  It could take an hour to get to them instead of just minutes. 

The doctor's bottom line message:  STAY HOME, STAY HOME.

Read the thread. Bottom line, the unconfirmed cases won't change the overall stats much, don't expect the CFR to drop. And mild case = anywhere between fever to full blown pneumonia.

This completely ignores the potentially multiple times as many people with little to no symptoms who don't bother getting tested at all.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

They took 320k random swabs from people who weren't screened but would most likely be good candidates to have COVID and retroactively tested them. They only found .5%. That is a pretty huge and significant sample size.
