Because I took your advice and get tested hourly
How would you know if you did and were asymptomatic?
Because I took your advice and get tested hourly
You haven't been tested. How do you know you don't have it?
This is a great point. I could have had it 5 weeks ago. Just because I dont have it, or dont know I have it, shouldn't give me the right to be gross.
I dont touch people. I dont touch regularly touched surfaces without washing hands, I wash hands before I eat, before i enter my house i use hand sanitizer.
If you do these things you will highly reduce your risk of infection. But you're right, you will never know unless you get tested multiple times a day. But that doesnt change how the disease is spread, or humans in general are unhygienic. The average person touches ther face 16 times an hour.... not good hygiene.
Do you see? This statement. It proves you don't understand the topic at hand, the dangers of it, and how easily contracted it is. I'll stop replying to you here - you've proved my point far more effectively than I could've hoped for. I just hope that, as your friends and loved ones are getting infected, that you have the time to reflect on your beliefs. Cheers...
So you could have it right now.
You have it. I knew it
Yes we all could have it. We all could have had it. Are you going to get tested?
So if I did have how would I have acquired it?
Prove it. Post your negative test. We all know that there is a massive number of infected people with no symptoms.
So prove it.
Lol. Please tell me why they isolate people who have the virus.
You didn't answer the question....
So if I did have how would I have acquired it?
I'm not really sure why you keep pushing this argument. Yes, good hygiene practice is important but it's only one component to the solution. Also, as I've stated before, in a perfect world this might work but we aren't programmed like robots so not everyone will follow through with practicing good hygiene. This virus is able to survive on surfaces, people sneeze and cough...tell me how an infected asymptomatic 4 y/o child is going to follow through on practicing good hygiene?
Medical professionals who follow infection control policy to the letter are still getting infected...how do you expect the average person to fare?
Practicing good hygiene is good advice but its not some magic bullet. It's going to take more than that.
Beats me, Pigpen.
Sure thing Typhoid Holdren
More reality for some here to deny.
The US' total number of confirmed cases is likely far lower than reality because the country is still ramping up widespread testing. According to the COVID Tracking Project — a testing-tracking resource from two journalists at the Atlantic and the founder of a medical data startup — only 47,000 tests have been run in the US so far. (They note, however, that those figures may be incomplete due to different state policies on reporting negative tests.)
South Korea, by contrast, can test tens of thousands of people per day for COVID-19. As of Monday, the country had tested 274,504 people. That allows them to quarantine infected people more immediately. South Korea's robust testing also likely means its confirmed case count is a more accurate representation of the number of cases in the country than the US'.
Kind what I figured you would do when presented with trying to argue from both sides. Which you wont, because then it wrecks your whole testing is the key argument. Which it isn't.
You can either admit that hygiene plays a larger role than you have originally said, or we can go down the road of millions have it due to hygiene not being a deal, aka your wanting me to admit anyone could have it now without being tested for proof. This way the mortality rate is that of any other respiratory virus.
So which hill are you standing on? Either way it means you were wrong about the tests. I will wait.
You understand that no one here argues with more tests would be more confirmed cases right? You argued that the more tests the higher the mortality rate... which is statistically impoasible
Hey Monkey from outbreak.
I said more deaths. Not higher rate.
Lol more tests cause more deaths? Ok
Lol. You’re the dumbest person I’ve ever encountered in my entire life. More tests will expose more deaths. Not cause them.
No wonder people treat you the way they do on this forum.
China screwed the pooch waited way to long to announce it and to a high degree tried to cover it up. Still trying how it started in China and then that next place hit hard was Iran which is going to probably have the most deaths of any country. So far Europe is going to have to step up big time if they want to contain it and avoid what Italy is going through
A good sign is that your seeing improvement in China and South Korea which bodes well for the United States in being able to contain it. Seeing lots of movement from multiple fronts in regard to vaccines and treatment so hopefully we can get out in front of the virus. One thing that has to change is totally shut down spring break need to shut down all events which have large number of people in close proximity.
thanks, damn shame you can't be part of it
