And with about a 99% survival rate? Sign me up and give me some money.

By that time, regardless if your test is positive or negative, you are isolating and being told by your doctor to isolate as long as you show symptoms if you are negative (and an additional 14 days if you are positive). If you have no symptoms, the much more useful test is an antibody test.

Antibody testing is the key to reopening to the economy and that is where the resources should be directed.

No it won't

You need both.

An antibody test let's you know if a person can go back to normal.

A Covid test let's you know who to isolate.

If you just antibody test, why test at all? because you are admitting everyone will get it, and you'll kill people.

If you just Test for positives, you shutdown forever..

You say a covid test lets you know who to isolate. Are you recommending testing everyone without symptoms? Every day? That's the only way it would make sense, Because if you are only recommending testing those with symptoms, those people are isolating regardless of test results.

And how is testing for antibodies admitting everyone will get it? The screenshot sent to me today by a nurse prac (no idea how accurate) shows the transmissible rate between two people wearing masks is 1.5%. Testing for antibodies just tells people whether they need to take a cautious approach (mask) or not as they get back to work.

The data (transmissible rate with masks and antibody tests) shows we should be back at work soon. Almost time to restart America!

ETA: it's time to slowly start opening things up. I like the idea of under 50 and healthy going back first, with those over 50 or with underlying conditions remaining sheltered. Let's restart America!

Have you thought about the details of how you would actually pull that off? I?m thinking not.

So how long you think we should be sheltered??

I'm thinking it would be pretty simple. Do exactly what I explained (with a mask). And If a specific employer cannot operate in that fashion because it has too many people over 50 or with underlying health conditions, then that employer stays closed longer.

I'm not saying it's perfect or the only way to reopen. I'm open to all suggestions, but reopening in the next 30 days is going to begin happening, and it should. We've slowed the spread and the curve, which was the intention. Time to restart America!

Aaron Rupar, misquotes Trump if indeed that is a quote. Trump did NOT say that a disinfectant injected into a human would work. He asked a question if we could have SOMETHING LIKE a disinfectant we could inject inside a human to destroy the virus.

Lol.

He quoted him correctly and it's still completely asinine. "something like that" are filler words he always uses. Listen to it for what it's worth.

Won't be surprised if there's a dead body from somebody shooting up lysol in the next day or two.

As much as I'm fully pro-life... lmfao. I really can't deny that sometimes NS is gonna run it's course. Holy shit.

It's wholly ironic that the boomer generation now have their version of tide pods.

The danger of what he said is that his followers WILL take it as that's a possible cure and you will hear some idiot doing this. It's a comment that only hurts Trump and people who attend his church.

He could have a firehose full of coronavirus spraying it at people and you'd justify it somehow.

"WELL WE JUST NEEDED TO GET EVERYONE INFECTED SO WE COULD GET THIS OVER WITH"

It literally does not matter what he does. He is above criticism for you. That is the definition of worship and idolatry.
