Nip it in the bud
Today the COVID swab result finally arrived for my patient . . . six days after it was sent. She has respiratory symptoms; I tested and sent in the sample on the same day she called, two days sooner than offered at her local Assessment Centre. A potentially sick person in the GTA area with result backlogged six days, never mind if you are rural, or in the midst of a second wave! From this I fear we are heading into autumn with limited lab capacity, overwhelmed testing facilities, along with an undefined test strategy, insecure PPE supply, and uncertain availability of either the flu or COVID vaccines for all who wants them. - 8/5/2020
