DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION, 3 HOURS AT SITE FOR 15 MINUTE TEST, 10 DAYS WITH NO TEST RESULTS AND ULTIMATELY LIED TO THAT WE WERE NEVER TESTED (WE HAVE PROOF THAT WE WERE THERE)
We had that 8
a.m. first appointment of day 9-10, but took nearly 3 hours.
Follow up
calls have produced an idiotic and painful answer that they have no record of
our being there.
We have proof
– online appointment print out, paper work plus grease pencil marking on back
of our vehicle that they only do onsite.
It doesn’t
matter, they failed and lie about it.
While we’re
recounting the endless list of failures, here's a hint for testing site.
Don't blare
loud music at tent where they draw blood/take nasal swab.
There is car engine, traffic, MIA flight path, generator noise.
You are talking through a mask, through your closed window to
a person wearing a mask - no one can hear.
At free test
site, train staff to accommodate people with disabilities.
Guy in
charge did major discrimination, telling my wife to drive home without getting
tested. I had to start phone video to make him responsive.
Tens of
thousands of people with disabilities deserve better
Staff said
they could not enter wheelchair ramp van to swab my wife and draw her blood.
They ignored
my clear, booming voice explaining she could roll out the ramp (full or to top
of it) to give them access to her same as rest of drivers rolling down their
window.
Clueless,
rude, discriminating staff forced delicate door to $75,000 wheelchair ramp
without asking first.
This can
cause damage, detected weeks later, that will destroy my wife's mobility.

| Proof that we were persons tested #34 and #35 on September 10, 2020 at Marlins Park |
To document
this, I started taking video on my I-Phone.
The staff
then threatened to remove me from the site without testing I kept exercising my
basic American right of documenting incompetence and discrimination via video
on my phone.
Got blood
results onsite, (negative for both of us, bud advised that nasal swab results also must be read to know for sure) then told swab takes max four days for results.
Nothing online, so my wife calls to see what's up after four days.
She reached a totally unhelpful person who claimed she had zero record of our even having an appointment for September 10, when we wasted nearly half a day trying to get tested.
Worthless
call to info number took more than an hour -- 20 minutes with an imbecile who
insisted we had no appointment & were not tested (we have proof otherwise)
then 40 minutes on hold waiting for a supervisor -- then hung up on before
reaching a human.
We have no symptoms, but when you take the time to go in -- trying to be responsible -- you want to see your results.
My wife has
multiple underlying conditions and is undergoing a treatment that lowers
immunity.
She needs test results now.
To date, three wasted hours at Marlins Park (should take 15 minutes) = disability discrimination + unprofessional behavior + lost test results.
My wife, who uses a wheelchair for mobility, needs
results -- but it is clear that none are coming and the company making tens of
millions off of testing for Florida could care less.
Who is going
to fix this?
