How can a person be positive with no infection?

What are the symptoms of COVID-19?
Some people infected with the virus have no symptoms. When the virus does cause symptoms, common ones include dry cough, fatigue, low-grade fever, body aches, nasal congestion, and sore throat. However, COVID-19 can occasionally cause more severe symptoms like high fever, severe cough, and shortness of breath, which often indicates pneumonia.

I don't know if it is false positives or someone being a "carrier". Positives in the absence of signs and symptoms have been a part of this pathogen from the beginning.

My experience is that the one year I got the flu shot is the only time I've ever gotten the flu.
No shot = no flu ..... 100% of the time

Got the Flu when I was 11 or 12. Never had it again.
Flu shots off an on over the next 28ish years. No flu.

I haven't seen any estimates of "millions dead". The estimates I have seen from Dr. Fauci were between 100,000 and 200,000. The numbers are definitely not in line with the common cold... which is what your own idiot Rush Limbaugh called it.

1 mil to 2.2 mil was floated just a couple weeks ago.

Then 100 to 240 k.

None will come close. Which makes it look like a Trump victory whether it is or not

Rush is not my guy.

Do companies buy advertisements because they fail to increase demand for their product?

It will be a real sad state of affairs when pharma starts advertising. Can you imagine doctors having to explain why a drug may be good or bad for a patient? End of times then.

I'm not sure what point you're attempting to make.
If I'm standing in line behind someone at Kroger, I would rather stand behind a person who has not been tested than behind a person who has tested positive. I'm smart enough to know that the person who has not been tested could actually be infected, but that's still preferable to standing behind a person I know has been infected.

My point is at this point it’s all semantics because of the wait times and the number of untested people .

There was a time when pharmaceutical advertising was controversial for just this reason -- that it intruded upon the independent medical judgment of doctors by creating a false demand for the product. You may think it doesn't create such conflicts but it does. A doctor may prescribe something because he fears he may lose a patient if doesn't prescribe it because he knows the doctor down the street will.

So they actually had to field medical treatment and procedure questions pre Covid?

Pharmaceutical companies and lawyers both should be banned from advertising.

If I'm correct, this is more like a respiratory virus. That's all I get lately. Had one on and off since November when it acts up. I wouldn't know that from CV19 if I'm not wrong on this.

Honestly you lost any credibility when you worried about medical professionals eating hand held food.

But back to the topic at hand, all it means is patients asking questions. The doctor should be able to explain why, or why not, a particular treatment option is a good or bad plan. And in this instance I doubt patients are doctor shopping if they have Covid-19.

There are a few of us who think it has already come through here once late last year. Maybe a different strain, though.

This is yellow journalism right here. Just by reading the headline, you would think this was getting out of control...

Grocery workers are beginning to die of coronavirus

Then you read more into the article...

A Trader Joe’s worker in Scarsdale, N.Y., a greeter at a Giant store in Largo, Md., and two Walmart employees from the same Chicago-area store have died of covid-19 in recent days, the companies confirmed Monday.

3 workers in that quote. Then you read further on looking for dozens or hundreds of workers to be dying off. Can't find it

The law firms who advertise for class action suit clients are disgusting... and those "we will turn your wreck into a check" clowns in Knoxville. For the love of god, get them off the air.

Those clowns are everywhere. I've noticed travelling to other cities, the same jingle and type of ad but only the lawyers name, address and phone number are different.
I guess there are companies which produce an ad template. Then sell that template to lawyers in other cities.
