Back to Quarantine

Booked my anti-body test today for July 8th, guessing 50/50 I had it.
How long to get the results Capt. Ken? (Using Quest Diagnostic)

Ok, but you are talking about the Anti-Body tests now, and not the regular Covid-19 infection test. (Or whatever they call it)
I would think Anti-Bodies would be only in the blood, and not show up on a swab test up the nose?


Good luck on the surgery Ed, hope they don’t cut away any important parts, the C word also comes to mind..

We also have Asian American friends and the ridicule and abuse they've been subjected to as a result of the constant mislabeling and accusations by the administration is disgusting. It's fine to discuss the origination of the virus but to blame it on the citizens there and extend that blame to other Asians is ugly bigotry. Like all viruses, it has been given official and legal names. These other names used are racist and bigoted. Viruses are not named based on where they originate. Asian Americans have suffered greatly as a result of these attitudes. Think of them. Do they deserve ridicule? Every time these terms like Kung Flu are used it encourages people to feel free to abuse all Asians, including Asian Americans. I take it very personal as we have friends who have suffered abuse as a result. They are saddened to find out that although their parents have lived most of their lives in the US and they were born in the US and their parents and they are citizens, there's a part of our society that refuses to accept them and tells them angrily to go home. They are wonderful Americans and yet they're being subjected to anger and ridicule. That's just not right. Words are not harmless.

The NY "lull" occurred at the same time that the masses took to street parties. Better to throw bricks staged by the city than to go get tested.

How is Trump responsible for the spread? Seems Cuomo kept his emigration borders open long after NY was underwater. Virus is from China, hence the name. Trump blames the government not the citizens.

Trump has never, not once, blamed the Chinese people for the virus or its spread. Fake news. The origin is truly not in dispute beyond a small radius of inland China.

Again, fake news. Ignorant. Worse is that you know it and refuse to research and educate.

Yes, antibody test is a blood test, but won't register as positive for antibodies if you're freshly active with the virus. Swab is for the active virus, and it is 96% accurate from major labs, results in 2-3 days, although they say 3-5 for liability.

This virus seems to be infecting YF. Maybe time to quarantine?

Stick to facts. Leave the politics out.

Chines Virus originated in Inland China. Wherever it came from it was released by the lab into the local population. It's a Chinese lab, regardless of who is collaborating there, regardless of alleged relations with a lab in Texas or North Carolina. Chines lab, owned by the Chinese CCP, overseen significantly by the CCP military released it, and the government refused to contain it. CCP allowed Wuhan residents to leave the country or remain in quarantine. Most that could left and many went to Italy where the country is well received.

There is quite a bit of evidence that the virus was present in the open community in September, 2019. The federal government on a whole has done a pretty good job of handling the crisis. The states, many of them, were completely ill prepared to handle something like this despite being advised several years ago to prepare reserves of PPE and respirators. The states could have controlled their own borders, as some did, but New York, New Jersey flocked to Florida, Rhode Island, CT, and East Long Island. Those infections spiked quickly based upon that movement of people.

At the same time POTUS was tying to obtain information and close borders, limit travel, he was being impeached by the media and the opposing political party, and those players were all railing on him for taking the actions he took as being xenophobic and racist, or perhaps a misdirection play to distract folks from the kangaroo court.

Bad impellers, bent props, missing a rudder. Living in a bubble.

Yes, like most of America, Just bury my head in the sand and it'll go away.

Grow the F*ck up.
