We have to be able to have access to the same equipment that the hospitals and care facilities have personal protective equipment also known as ppe has been the topic of discussion around the nation next medical workers firefighters and other frontline responders Funeral Homes and mortuaries also use pp daily especially inside their prep room for the covid19.

In fremont we are just a couple of hours away from coronavirus testing you can see the set up already there. Coming up, ill tell you how long its going to last and if you will qualify all of those bubbles at this price . Is this for real . Oh. Its real. Believe me. I mean, this is unexpected.

Now not yet i think theyve gotten a clue because this is a carbon copy of what we saw last week. In hayward where you have to have at least 100 degree fever thats the jumping off point you can see right behind me. You are not allowed to walk up to this location begins at 10 oclock this morning goes all the way until 5 oclock in the evening. Not sure how many tests they will have but to qualify you either have to be sick or a First Responder or medical personnel on the same that we saw last week in hayward the goal is to take that load off of the hospitals to allow the more critical patients to be treated at the hospitals. You can clearly see it right there its going to be helped up by the Fremont Police department whats going to happen is its a 2 step process one you stay in your car and then they will take your thermometer i take that temperature right offer your forehead if you have a 100 degrees and use show some of the other symptoms, including shortness of breath, then you go to step 2 with a stick a long queue tips down each nostril take samples from your nose as well as your throat send those samples to a laboratory and perhaps within a day or so the the results will come back to let you know whether or not youre positive. For coronavirus the test is not cost any money. You dont have to have a doctors note, and it does not matter your immigration status, but again you have to have at least a 100 degrees last week in hayward when i was there in the first day. So many people turned out and so many people got turned away so before you leave your house take your temperature and if you have that at least thats the first step for qualification it is ready to go robin back to you youre right about that will people were lined up and they were waiting for hours to get tested so.
