I sure thought that anyone that tested positive were going to the hospital. Maybe I misunderstood or there was some inaccurate reporting going on. Looks like we go an update:
Coronavirus latest news: Britons to be flown home Friday while those tested positive make it to hospital
In the rest of the world, they aren’t necessarily. Only if needed. There was an interview online this past week with the husband of a hospital worker outside Buffalo. They reported several patients with positive tests being sent home before they even had the results, but then with no effort to reel them back in.
I feel for the Brits. It would have been difficult for the US to help, we’re flying in the wrong direction; and we would have if they’d asked. But couldn’t France or Germany give them a lift? They’re the last men off the ship practically. Talk about stressed.
And maybe just to the hospitals for tests and evaluation if not heavily symptomatic?
