Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

The labs are REQUIRED to report both, so yes, they should be held liable. This manufactured "spike" in the positivity rate is an important factor in policy decision-making.

Understood, but it does seem less egregious than reporting negative tests as positive. In the grand scheme of things, do we know how much this affected the positivity rate?
 
Hard to say exactly, but Thurs/Fri.... her test hasn’t come back yet, but my three daughters were negative. She has a dry hacking cough, sore throat and tightness in her chest .... not bad... mostly aggravating according to her.... and a headache.

Sounds similar to me. I had some body aches and got tired real easy. Hope she gets to feeling better.

Did you have it? My sister has had symptoms for two weeks now and she took the test 9 days ago. Still no results back.

This is day 11 with no result. I called today, again, and the clinic said they still haven’t gotten the results back. I’m beginning to think it is just this clinic that is incompetent.

I’m pretty sure I had the ‘rona.

How old is your sister? Is she in good health otherwise? I ask because my symptoms lasted 2-3 days then I was fine.

She's in her 30s. Good health. Eats healthy. Not obese. No pre-existing conditions. She should be fine. Never bedridden, but she's had persistent mild symptoms throughout. Fever never exceeded 100.5. Nagging cough. Body aches. Headache. Fatigue. Just can't seem to kick it though.
 
This is excellent news. Let's hope they can get it through the remainder of any trials and start production in the mewntine

That’s awesome .. I nominate you and EL to receive the first ones . Then we can quarantine you two in Nova Scotia , to study you , and watch for side effects . That way if things go sideways in won’t be in country .

Doesn't matter.

If it works Trump will insist that people come pay homage to him as Savior.

If it doesn't work, he'll blame the Chinese.

College buddy of mine is a doctor in east TN and said their lab had informed his clinic that there was a 2 week backlog of tests. They were being overrun.
