Corona Virus #6

[LouNY]

There is a great NEED to test 100% of the people in certain circumstances. Here is one of those...a plane lands in Atlanta with possible infected people and there are limited test kits. Do you only test the sick ones and allow all the others to fly to other destinations? When do you get serious about controlling the spread of COVID?

But and a huge but if an individual with the corona virus is on the plane, he would test positive,
everyone else on board may have been infected but would NOT test positive untill it had incubated itself in them.
So to test everyone is useless.

Yet everybody on that plane probably should self quarantine, or at least avoid public gatherings until the incubation period has passed. This is what's going to spread it around; the attitude that "It will never happen to me."

so logically a person can be tested today with negative results and then the same person could be tested tomorrow with positive results....

As I understand it, that's what China did - quarantine ALL contacts.

+1 and Just what Trump said at today's presser. He said, of you don't have any symptoms or a cold, don't get tested. Period. I have news for everyone, I don't know if you understand how the test is performed but essentially the clinician sticks a swab in your nose all the way into your upper throat and takes a sample and it's not pleasant. I've had than done before. Not for Corona Virus, for something else and the person administering the test has to know EXACTLY what they are doing. Remember. all the cavities in your skull are interconnected, your nose, mouth, eyes and even your ears interconnect. You don't want that test if you have no symptoms. Take my word for that. NOT PLEASANT.

I'd say the best defense with the virus is a good offense. Do what you have to to isolate you from others, wash your hands often with SOAP AND HOT WATER, don't touch your eyes or mouth (remember the interconnection between them and your lungs and inner workings), be anti social and avoid places where people congregate.

Sure am glad I live in a remote area and I can control 100% who I interact with.

What were you being tested for?

They were going to test me for arrogance until I told them I was an engineer. They told me doctors and engineers test positive and were not wasting any test kits on us. The only cure was marriage but it had a 50% mortality rate.

Think about how isolated you really are . . . now I believe that we have been isolated forever not so sure now. :confused3:
