I have no idea whether the cost of the test is this high or not but I love the solution.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.According to USAToday, "The U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized the use of two tests, one from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and one from the New York State Department of Public Health. Neither agency charges patients for the test."
The $3,270 number comes from a meme with questionable origins.

I think that's bullshit, because a flu test isn't that much. That means poor people will choose not to have the test done.

Then make an appointment for next week, see if he cancels 
If rich people started getting infected, we would see a completely different response to the crisis. As it is, this crisis is a great argument for single payer. If I were infected, I would love to start coughing on rich people if I could find any in my area...
