“A simple rule: You only test those with symptoms.“
—————
With a POS test kit that creates 30% - 50% false negatives. Now we are Italy 2 weeks ago, and need to do a lockdown to stop this thing.
And what about false positives?
I still don’t believe this thing is a big deal. I’m having huge dejavu here because this is what I said during Sars, ebola, and all the others. Every time there were people that said, “but this time it’s different”. Well, yeah, it’s different every time. But so far, in the US, even if you DO get it, as long as you are not over 80 and already sick, you’ll probably be fine. I mean, it may be like a bad case of the flu (or even less), but you’ll be fine.
Time will tell. :)
