Covid-19 in OKC (coronavirus)

[Edmond Hausfrau]

Even then, people will have to be willing to take the test, and that's not guaranteed for a large percentage of the population, most likely (and sadly).

Reasons people are not testing (note the similarities with HIV testing pre-Western blot and Elisa).
1. It's not free for everyone.
2. The sensitivity and specificity varies based on type of test and skill of test giver.
3. Positive test may result in stigma, ostracized from others, and resultant impact on work, relationships, mental health.
4. Fatalism. The belief that there is nothing to be done if they contract the disease and nothing that will change the predestined outcome.
