As cases of the novel coronavirus surge, California is setting up tents and trailers to use as field hospitals to take in more patients. Hospitals are building field hospitals outside their facilities in an effort to deal with the overflow of COVID-19 patients. The state's 'mass fatality' program is for when 'there are more deaths in a given time period than the local coroner or medical emergency personnel could handle.' California has seen a 19.4% increase in confirmed cases over the past week, with more than 37,000 new cases on Monday alone. Fountain Valley Regional Hospital and UC Irvine will add 50 more beds in mobile units "equipped with running water, lighting and air purifiers."
REUTERS/Joshua Roberts Costco is selling COVID-19 tests that you can take in the comfort of your own home. The test uses saliva samples, which buyers mail to a testing center, receiving results in 24 to 48 hours. The test kit costs $129.99 on Costco.com. The retailer is selling at-home tests that allow customers to test for coronavirus via saliva samples, instead of inserting swabs into their noses for samples. According to test maker P23, the tests are 98% sensitive and 99% specific.
