1) As many of you know I live in a mid-western state,in a rural community. Today my daughter (who has 2 small children and lives with us) went to work at Walmart.She was sent home because she had a sore throat.She was told to get a coronavirus test,stay home and not tell anyone.
2) She asked Walmart were she could get tested and they said they had no idea. She finally found an open Urgent Care and they took her temp and it was elevated. They told here there were no tests available and go home and self quarantine.
3) When she got home she told us what had happened so I called our states vivid-19 hotline. They had no idea when there would be tests in our area and there may be 100’s of undiagnosed cases so quarantine for 14 days and see how you feel.
4) They asked no questions about who she was or who she may have been in contact with.Nothing.
She lives with 2 parents over 50 and 2 children both under 4 years old.
We are on our own.This is not a joke.
People will die in Red States because nothing is being done.
5) People in rural America are not taking this serious. Because of Trumps tweets and messages, no one here is taking any precautions. Restaurants are all open. Stores are business as usual. Gyms are packed because kids are home with nothing to do.
I think we are in real trouble.
Note from Walmart management today
