Drive-Thru CCP Virus Test Sites Popping up Slowly Across America

Drive-thru CCP virus testing sites are starting to pop up across the United States but few if any are at the major retail stores that pledged last week to provide parking lot space for them. The Epoch Times refers to the novel coronavirus, which causes the disease COVID-19, as the CCP virus because the Chinese Communist Party’s coverup and mismanagement allowed the virus to spread throughout China and create a global pandemic. On Wednesday, many Americans with suspected virus infections were heading to drive-thru testing sites at hospitals, with their doctor’s referral.

Spain’s death toll from the CCP virus epidemic has risen by 209 in 24 hours—the worst day so far for the country, according to the health ministry on Thursday.

“The toughest moments are still to come, those moments when we will continue to see an increase in the number of cases,” Health Minister Salvador Illa told reporters.

Fernando Simon, the head of the Health Ministry’s Coordination Center for Health Alerts, said the number of cases has risen by about 25 percent over the previous day.

“These are the days where we have to continue making an effort,” he said, according to El Pais. “We know that it is difficult but reaching that peak and starting a stable descent is our objective.”

The Madrid region also called on army personnel to intervene at senior homes to stop a trend of deaths among the elderly. At least 50 elderly in homes have died in the region, El Pais noted.

Emotions are all over the place. It’s the unknown that’s…
