And even if this specific guy stays in, you have to think at a population level. Would 100/100 guys quarantine themselves for 14/14 days? I doubt it. How about 500? How about 10000? An appropriate response to shutting down an infection like this involved not only giving the public guidance on what to do, but giving them every available piece of information possible so that they actually follow through with what you tell them. When we can't test people who are giving mouth to mouth with infected people, we have undeniably failed in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he more or less likely stay in than if he didn't have a test at all? Like I said, ideally everyone could get tested but since they can't, I think it'd help more to test people that could potentially have it but still are working in the public than someone who likely has it and should quarantine himself either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So hooray. Obviously it could also be a false negative, but the false negative rate for these tests are going to be crazy-low (put another way: the far more problematic source of spreading Coronavirus is patient compliance compared to false negative screening results).

August4th Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 starting to think this will impact the football season so what happens if a NFL or college player, coach or team employee test positive for this during TC or any week during the season? will they be allowed to have 60,000+ people all gather to watch a game by August?

Nex_Gen Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) I think it's cool how NBA players are preemptively getting tested for safe measures, while people who are sick, showing symptoms and are worried, is getting denied until they require ER attention to be considered...

Hopefully by then people will have been exposed, recovered and have some immunity. If that’s the case it may be similar to flu in that there won’t be a huge spike in cases but rather a steady, expected rate of infection that’s able to be managed.

Isn't it normally 12-18 months and I imagine they've been working on it for at least a few months. Don't they even have some ready for testing? They have to watch how the person reacts to the vaccine, and I imagine that there is a minimum time period for that. Don't want to approve a vaccine immediately, and then 12 months later half of the people drop dead because the vaccine caused some other underlying issue in the body. They have to watch it to see how the person reacts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
