As
I told you on Monday
public
health officials investigating the
outbreak of illnesses that followed this
month's DOMAINfest
Global conference in Los
Angeles asked all of those who fell
ill (even if they have since recovered)
to contact their doctors about
having some specific lab tests done to
determine what made them sick. They
announced the tests would be free for
Los Angeles County residents, however
that left a major issue unsolved. Most
attendees do not live in L.A. County and
lab tests, especially for those without
insurance are expensive.
So
I dropped a note to a CDC/L.A. County
Public Health Department doctor who
is on the investigation team and asked
her if officials were going to be able
to do anything to help those who could
not afford the tests, so they would get
a higher degree of participation. I have
gotten a reply that includes direct
contacts that should help those of
you who who live outside L.A., County. |
