MAN JUMPS FROM TRIBECA PARK BUILDING
The Post reported this morning that a 64-year-old man leaped to his death from his apartment on the 16th floor of Tribeca Park on Chambers and North End Avenue at about 11 p.m. Friday.

From the Post: “I came out to smoke a cigarette, and they told me someone jumped,” one building resident, who declined to be named. “It’s upsetting.”

COVID-19 TEST FOR CONCIERGE MED CENTER
The concierge medical service Sollis Health, which has a medical office at 255 Greenwich just south of Target, managed to get COVID-19 tests for 100 of its members, at a time when tests were still hard to come by, according to Reuters. Members were allowed to use the tests at home. [The angle here is ‘the rich get stuff the rest of us don’t’ but I think the angle should be ‘this is what best practices should look like so get to it.’]

That is not an “angle” that is just grossly unfair. And no we should not be using it as a “best practice” example. That is also ridiculous.
Sorry, but I disagree. I think we all should have test kits at home so we can really know what’s going on.
Not enough tests to test everyone. Wouldn’t tests have to be frequently repeated on every individual anyway? Since a negative test result person could become infected the next day, or the next minute, and not know that they are now harboring the virus, and potentially spreading it.
We should all behave on the assumption that we may be infected, even if currently showing no symptoms. That’s why we have the increasingly stringent stay-at-home orders.
Agree with previous comments. The original angle is correct and should not be used as “best practice”. This is not a pregnancy text where you pee on a stick. The results need to be analyzed by a lab which is taxing much needed resources. Not to mention the nasal swab goes a fair amount up into the sinuses and I doubt any wealthy layman is going to stick and swab far enough up there properly due to the discomfort. So you just wasted 100 much needed tests. Well done.
