(The preceding dialogue (or is it trilogue?) is revealing for what is unsaid. How did the person that Norma Hinojosa is talking about manage to get tested three times?
We have known of people who have tried to get tested once and have been turned down because they did not say the right catchwords on the questionnaire. And if this person was able to get tested twice and got negative results, why test a third time? How many people who were really sick were elbowed out to test this person once, twice, and then three times, until the desired result was attained?
Was the person getting tested a city employee and have friends in the right places who told her what to say? Did Eder Hernandez, in charge of testing for the city, ask her how she managed that?
And now that the person tested positive (and is a city employee) will he or she follow commissioner Tetreau's professional advice and stay home with pay? Is there anything such as a false positive? What if you are a city essential worker? If you follow the commissioner's advice and are seeking a test, stay home until you can get one and remain there while you wait until you get the for the result you want.)
