Over here they have testing down to 500 a day, and expect that number to double very soon. Not only more and better testing, but much quicker results as well. This is just one institution.
We are still very much in catch up mode, agreed.
Obviously you didn't watch it yet, but the Doctor stated that only those who have symptoms will be tested. You have to go through a screening process first. It's starting to spread over here so I'm glad they are working night and day to try and detect it.
Those infected are contagious before they are symptomatic. Not quite that straight forward. Now you want me to believe the media? Make a decision.
Case in point: a staff member at Hancock County, Indiana Jail tests positive for COVID-19.
No longer infectious at positive test time. No idea how many he/she may have infected when they were infectious. What to do if testing capacity was adequate? Go test everyone who came through that jail 2 weeks previous to the positive result of that staff member and anyone else he/she had contact with. Any positive result coming from that investigative follow up warrants further testing of any who came in contact with any other person who tuned up positive.
We're not there yet, not at all.
This isn't a "media" thing, this is the CEO of the Cleveland Clinic. As a lifelong patient, I trust the Clinic more than anybody. In fact my sister is going there for surgery tomorrow morning.
They are trying to focus on the people most likely to have the virus than just test everybody and see if they run into some. It's the best way to do it. And.....the Clinic will of course share their new technology with other hospitals and clinics, so as they get on board, they will be able to test tens of thousands every day whether you have symptoms or not.
The brain damaged TDS are demanding millions of people to get tested only so they can claim that Trump isn't doing anything. It has nothing to do with any objective analysis of the issue. Like everything they say, it's pure politics.
People are infectious, walking around infecting others unknowingly before becoming symptomatic. It is just science. Science has no affliction like partisanshit.
