My son is an EMT and treated a patient on Saturday who has since been confirmed to have COVID 19. He was at our house Sunday. Let the games begin!
I honestly think I had this in December before anyone knew what it was. Had to go to the doc twice in 2 weeks. I guess we’ll see.

Ugh. Is it possible for you and your son to be tested? I know, it's harder to get tested than almost anything other than buying toilet paper, but if you were exposed......

I’m hoping they test him then the rest of us won’t have to worry with it. He’s saying they won’t test them unless they’re showing symptoms, but that doesn’t seem right because he could be asymptotic and they still want him to work.
I do honestly think this virus blew through our area in December, January, and February though. Our school district had to close for several days due to attendance dropping off so much and staff having to call in sick.
We’ll see what happens.

From what I gather, the issue of people carrying the virus antibodies (meaning having been exposed) but being asymptomatic, is a big one. As it's impossible to tell if a person's been exposed without the test, the fearmongers have leaped to the conclusion that data reflecting the number of deaths as compared to those who were exposed (meaning a direct correlation that the death resulted from the virus and not that the patient simply died of other causes) is cause to shut down the planet.
This is, of course, what the leftists want. They want the economy crippled and they want DJT gone.
Much more of a viable statistic is measuring those who were exposed but are asymptomatic and adding that number to the equation's denominator. The death rate becomes much less pronounced and may even approximate the death rate from just normal flu virus.
There is also no doubt that the Chicoms deliberately allowed air travel out of Wuhan after they knew about the nature of the virus. I'd call that a ****ing act of war.
