Coronavirus Pandemic (many threads merged)

[The Old Jaybird]

Here is your conspiracy theory of the day.....

Early on they said that the test involved a nasal swab, DEEP inside the nose to the back of the throat, and Trump said it wasn't pleasant. We are talking 2-3 inches inside the nose.

Drive by testing in Denver? showed a tech just sticking the swab....like a long Q-tip...only a half-inch or so inside the nostril. So these tests are worthless and will result in false negatives. Worse, it will waste valuable tests and lab time for nothing.

I confirmed all this with my doctor yesterday during a face-to-face appointment.

Resume your normal programming.

YES... I keep posting the global numbers and not too focused on the local stuff.

I am up here within a 100 yards of NC on 5 acres.... Staying away from folks. Everybody...

My main concern is Italy now... Spain is not much better.... S. Korea and even Iran appear to have turned the corner.

Well... We just hit the 10K death mark...

Now, I absolutely agree with you.... But these are the "reported" deaths.... I would not be surprised if China was close to about 50K

You will notice in my previous post when I talked about countries hopefully turning the corner, I did not mention China. I do not believe any of the China numbers...
