My fiancee and her 5yo daughter went to St Luke's to do the medical taking advantage of MECQ since they are closed during ECQ which could be reinstated at anytime. Anyway, her daughter had a slight cough (she always has some kind of cough) and they would not let her do the medical, yet they collected the money. Fyi, if you have any cough, sniffle, throat clearing, etc, the will not provide a medical exam.

They told her to come back in 2 weeks and she still has a cough, a negative Covid test will be required to proceed.

Hopefully she got a receipt. 
 

This is the typical nonsense I dealt with during the 3 months I was back there earlier this year. A population that is literally scared out of their minds. Even I was afraid to cough outside thinking the Covid police would drag me off to some quarantine facility on a basketball court telling me to stay put for 14 days. 
 

SLEC should have the saliva antigen test on site. It’s what all of the donated money from the US and other countries was supposed to be used for. That and vaccines.  However turns out all of the money disappeared and the country had to rely on donations. 
 

Be careful though on the cough. If she coughs all the time, your biggest concern isn’t Covid, but having the doctors think she has TB.  

The United States is now a country obsessed with the worship of its own ignorance.  Americans are proud of not knowing things.  They have reached a point where ignorance, is an actual virtue.  To reject the advice of experts is to assert autonomy, a way for Americans to insulate their increasingly fragile egos from ever being told they're wrong about anything.  It is a new Declaration of Independence: no longer do we hold these truths to be self-evident, we hold all truths to be self-evident, even the ones that arent true.  All things are knowable and every opinion on any subject is as good as any other.  The fundamental knowledge of the average American is now so low that it has crashed through the floor of "uninformed", passed "misinformed", on the way down, and now plummeting to "aggressively wrong."

She had a chest Xray just before she went. Just a mild Upper Respiratory Infection being treated with antibiotics
