Update.
My brother (who has had symptoms for the past few days) finally agreed to call the doctor. Doctor tells him to come in and get swabbed for the flu. His flu test is negative. Doctor tells him to go home and he will put him in touch with the state health board or whatever.
They call him. He lists his symptoms and then goes on to inform them that he was in NYC 10 days ago for work (I knew he had been traveling, but did not know to where...hadn't seen him in a couple weeks.) So he says they then get somewhat alarmed and tell him he needs to get tested.
They tell him someone from their team will call him back within the hour and tell him where to get tested.
Someone from the CDC, not the State, calls him back to inform him that they don't have enough tests in JoCo for him to be tested. That the test kits available are for high risk individuals.
And now the best part. His doctor's office will not allow them to come back in for a follow up or normal appointment because he and his household probably have this shit.
I'm not a doomsday prepper. I am not a conspiracy theorist.
But this, boys and girls, is SUPER ****ED.
