    The answer to this is very rarely. I know because my wife got tested last week due to direct exposure and was told that very thing. They tested her but told her if she doesn't have symptoms (she didn't and still doesn't) then it was highly unlikely she would test positive even if she was actually positive and it was incubating in her. Most people do not test positive until when/if they are symptomatic -or- outside of that 14 day window if asymptomatic.

    3 more days until we are out of the 14 day window...

    That's part of what I'm getting at with the breakdown of new cases.

    Just like with the death count, we have no idea how many are/were symptomatic of covid-19.

    The number could boost by 25,000 today, but 24,500 are asymptomatic and by WHO admission, would be very unlikely they would be spreaders.

    Testing right now is good and bad, here you can go and get a test anytime you want now, it's not just for those with one or 2 of a handful of symptoms anymore.

    That's why we need a breakdown of symptomatic and asymptomatic with new case reporting. It cannot be that hard to do, but I have that tinfoil hat feeling they do not want those breakdowns given, just as they do not want true covid-19 actual cause numbers revealed.

    I'm sure somewhere in one of these Covid-19 emergency legislations passed there is a reason for that.

    When the government controls it and there are more questions than answers skepticism will always remain high.

    He's got issues, language warning


    CLS we are now listing to the WHO because they said asymptomatic people do not spread the virus?

    I thought we were not listening to them, I am so confused.

    I was in a CVS yesterday. Over half the people in a frickin pharmacy werent wearing mask....and its the law right now in VA. In a pharmacy with old people and people picking up prescriptions for loved ones....not wearing a mask. I just don't get it....but I do. People are self absorbed and lazy.

    I'm not, but I am using them as my referencing as they are the "go to authority" on Covid-19

    For future reference, I will now include an * for sarcasm on sourcing.

    Example....

    The WHO* has now issued a new advisory stating we are in a very critical time of the Covid-19 outbreak

    I second this. Lyme is the worst. I’d even rather try out the spotty mountain rock fever before I went another round with the Lyme.

    I was at a rural bar here in Minnesota on Saturday afternoon for a meat raffle. It's a decent sized bar and I'm not kidding, there were 0 spots to sit, and people were standing shoulder to shoulder. Not a single person was wearing a mask. Not 1. 200+ people in a packed, crammed bar. All age groups 21-70+.

    People are tired of it. Fauci didn't help things , BTW republicans and Democrats claimed his fame. He was a publicity hound and contradictory to his own statements then a fear monger at the same time.

    brings it back around to exactly which "experts" was Trump not listening to? And which week? You know; since their BS claims vacillated from one extreme and inane position to a contradictory one and back again...sometimes in the same week.

    Exactly what it sounds like.. Jake out being a prostitute. When times are lean, our Jake's a lady pleasing machine. Must be good too, packed bar.

    Meat raffle you buy numbers usually for a dollar, they spin the wheel your number comes up you get to select different cuts of meat. It is usually a local non profit raising money, the meat is usually donated or sold at a discount from a local store.

    Myself no way in hell do I partake. When my son was a senior in high school my wife and I volunteered to sell tickets to raise $ for the all night grad party. It was interesting.

    Nothing better than winning a $50 pack of pork or beef when it took $80 to win haha.

    So funny when people don’t know what they are. So common here in central MN. Won this $20 ribeye as a “door prize.” Gunna make it for the father in law for lunch tomorrow as a Father’s Day gift.
