SEOUL (Reuters) - From inside his car, a driver is checked for any fever or breathing difficulties by medical staff in protective clothing and goggles who lean in through the window at a new drive-thru coronavirus clinic in South Korea.

He drove off after the brief test showed he was clear.

Others queuing in their vehicles in the city of Goyang were instructed to stop briefly to submit a sample of secretions for closer examination, with the entire procedure taking less than 10 minutes.

So why do our tests take 2 days or more to confirm? Or is this just a feel good test they are conducting?

Because we have some Democratic hacks in the CDC with marching orders to make Trump look bad... Maybe we should start emailing Vice President Pence to break out the whips..

Negative and you get a green inspection sticker for your windshield?

Positive and you get a scarlet character tattooed on your forehead?

Just to follow-up, I just read further in this article, and found this:

“South Korea reported 505 new cases on Thursday, marking its largest daily jump since the first patient was confirmed on Jan. 20, and taking the national tally to 1,766, according to the Korea Centers for Disease Control & Prevention.”

Just listening to an “expert” on Fox and Friends. He was introduced initially as one who is comparing this virus to the Spanish flu.

However, he says that home quarantine is the answer and that most people will get over it without medical intervention.

So, he evidently thinks it will spread like the Spanish flu but will not be as deadly.

I say evidently, because he was talking so fast he did not make himself plain.

My major complaint about the talking heads, government officials, etc., is that people spray out a torrent of words and any sense is buried in the onslaught. All words are co-equal, all sentence are co-equal. No distinction between explanation and the resulting conclusion, if there is one.
