Corona Virus: How Are We Doing?

[rockyroller]

if you don't have any what is the point

that is exactly the point. to find the positives, before they spread to others. when one doesn't have symptoms, is when one is most contagious

My uncle who'd been in a coma for a month passed away on Sunday (in Switzerland, not UK)

oh Dear, so sorry for your loss & for your family's. here's wishing you all strength right now & nothing but the best memories

OK so what criteria should [people use when deciding to get tested - that have no symptoms and feel fine?

Just dropped the 5yo off at the valley of death. I give it a week, a fortnight tops.

what are you talking about? did you just lose a 5 yr old child?

He meant school

He meant school

oh whew! ok thanks. yeah our schools are closed then open then closed then open then closed etc etc etc

I would have to pay as I don't have the symptoms.

I believe the thinking is, everyone should be tested

How often should everyone be tested?

Yeah, it was a reference to being forced to put my children in a dangerous and rather foolhardy situation essentially against my wishes.

They are both very much alive and hopefully virus free.

I think that depends on one's activity, for example, doctors & nurses, every week I think

Ok makes sense. We don't have capacity to test the whole population frequently though.

Nonetheless it was very important that they experienced that single day of education it will make all the difference later in life, I'm sure you will agree.

Fib (keep your fingers crossed whilst fibbing, and, it will be fine)

the questions here are pretty easy, like out of breath? I'm a 62 yr old man, climbing 3 flights of stairs after quitting the gym for a year, sure I get out of breath, so technically I'm not lying

one problem w testing tho, as I understand it, if the infection moved out of your nose into your lungs, you can test negative with a nasal swab, but still be sick &/or contagious
