Everyone's Talking About The Coronavirus Test. What's The Experience Like?

Pennsylvania Commonwealth microbiologist Kerry Pollard performs a manual extraction of the coronavirus inside the extraction lab at the Pennsylvania Department of Health Bureau of Laboratories on Friday, March 6, 2020.

More than 126,000 people in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties have now been tested for coronavirus.  While the number sounds impressive, it's still less than 10% of the region 1.3 million residents.

What is the experience like?  KCLU's Lance Orozco takes us along as he gets tested for the first time.
