It's actually been going on for at least a week or so here, they're just now doing more research and finding other centers doing the same. It's been all over our news for a while. The clinics weren't ghetto or anything, and most anybody could have found themselves there for one reason or another.
We have a few friends who now have to get tested ranging from young to old. I was at the Dr. the other day (unrelated thankfully), and the number of people coming in to get some paperwork to get a blood test was pretty crazy. The receptionist just had a huge stack of requests for blood tests ready to hand out to anyone who asked, and gave them to probably eight people in the half hour I was waiting. I'm sure this has been going on all this past week for them. These people had no idea they were exposed and now live in fear. Even if it comes back negative today, what about 10 years from now in the case of something like HIV?
We had two kids in the last three years, and thankfully mom and babies were healthy enough to not need anything done at these centers. It could have so easily happened to anybody. It's unreal that it'd happen in today's world, in the USA like you said.
