    Does anyone know: Will the CV test tell if you have had it and are well, or just that you are sick with it?

    What a ya know ... just reported that most COVID19 infections in the US originated in Europe. So, those numbers we are seeing are not mostly from community spread, but imported. ..... so ... who thought it was a bad idea to suspend international travel?

    It will tell if you have an active infection. It recovers virus from the patient and identifies it through RNA identification.

    yo winston this story really isnt about trump

    i know there are social points to be won every moment for expressing dismay with orange man. but this is about hoping our grandparents dont die and figuring out if that is a realistic possibility

    It doesn’t calm fears when he say patently false things like did at first. Go back over the multiple time he downplayed the potential and said he had it under control. He continued to hold rallies when his medical team was urging isolation. He was more focused on the stock market than his constituents.
    Then last Friday he panicked and couldn’t read a prepared statement well.
    In the last couple of days he has done better and been a leader.
