There were 58 people associated with the Utah Jazz basketball team that was tested for the virus. Their tests came after Gobert jokingly touched all of the microphones in the press room and the player’s items in the lockerroom. Four members of the Brooklyn Nets also tested positive and were able to receive these tests rather quickly.
Regular People Are Angry That They Can’t Get Tested For Coronavirus
Senator Linsey Graham posted on Twitter that he had tested negatively for coronavirus. People wondered how Graham was tested so quickly while they are constantly being turned away when they try and seek tests. Even health professionals who are experiencing symptoms are struggling to get tested.
It was revealed on Facebook that singer Celine Dion had been tested for coronavirus after having the symptoms of a common cold. Her results ultimately came back negative. She postponed several of her remaining tour dates in March. Kris Jenner also recently tested negative after having no symptoms. She had been at a party a few weeks back with someone who tested positive.
Twitter user Sean Turner posted about how she has been sick in the hospital for 10 days and still cannot get tested. Twitter user Kaivan Shroff remarked at how Kris Jenner was able to get tested yet she had no symptoms. Again, this shows a clear difference in treatment and testing accessibility for celebrities and ordinary people.
This sparked a debate in the comment section about how it seems like you are more likely to get tested if you have money or high celebrity status. One comment read “If you’re not a millionaire like Kevin Durant Charles Barkley Tom Hanks Rita Wilson you ain’t getting tested.”
With the number of infected people expected to rise, people across the globe are hoping for easier access to coronavirus testing as soon as possible.
