[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, I don't think the tests are even that accurate, especially for when symptoms first appear.

I have no direct knowledge of that, it's just the overall sense that I get when looking at the numbers.

Wrong. [/quote]

I might very well be wrong.  It just doesn't make much sense to me how a husband can contract this virus and his wife who has been around him and breathing the same air comes up negative - like with Idris Elba and his wife.

Also, last I saw, [b]Florida[/b] has tested over 1000 people and over 800 of those tests came back negative.  For such a contagious disease it sure doesn't seem that contagious based on those tests.

Either there are false negatives, people have some sort of natural immunity to it here or it isn't as contagious as once thought.  Maybe it's just not spread as easily in this country for some reason?[/quote]

All the more reason we need tests. We don’t know how to handle it, because we don’t know what “it” is. [/quote]

Let's say FL has tested 1500 people. That is outrageous. That is 0.007 percent of their population.

It's as if FL has done zero tests. [/quote]

I think that doctors have been given the go ahead to test at their discretion in Florida.  That doesn't mean that every random patient with the sniffles gets a test but if a doctor, in their professional judgement, feels that the test is warranted, they can order a test.

I would imagine that a good many of the tests were given to people with known contacts to those positive for the virus.  I simply found the number of negative results to be interesting.[/quote]
