    A teacher I know tested positive a week or so ago.  She has not had any severe symptoms as of yet.  The weird thing is that none of her other family members in the household have contracted it.  They are in the same rooms, breathing the same air, etc.  What gives?

    They have been getting tested every couple of days...all clear.  They are still are having to quarantine because of exposure, but so far no other family members have tested positive.  Asymptomatic carriers should still test positive, right?

    We are creaping back up here, but it's still weird that we're at the bottom of that list.

    I was talking to a friend about that.  I have a hard time believing it's because we did things fundamentally different then anywhere else.   We had some luck with the timing of our spring break, or health officials advising people not to travel etc... but still...

    Maybe there's something here no one's thought about it?  Inoculations we get as kids, something in the air/food, ?

    Still it could all be moot.  Our numbers have been climbing...

    Could have something to do with this, along with our lowest testing rates.

    I’m not sure about a second time.  I was wondering if it may have been a false positive as well.  Regardless, she is having to be out of class for a couple weeks.

    My son got it at school and had symptoms.  All six of his suit mates got it but two never showed symptoms.  They did test positive.  It could be a false positive, but considering the close proximity, that seems less likely than asymptomatic.

    Who knows, just weird that no other family members have tested positive being that they have been in close proximity.  I’m thinking false positive.

    This Covidiot not once mentions that folks should wear masks, I have no pity for fools like him!
    So my work crew is getting tests that the company is paying for because of our potential close contact early in the week.   One of the guys is a trump supporter and actually tells me that wearing a mask is worse for me than not wearing one....it’s terrible.  Going in 45 minutes and supposed to be a 2 day turnaround.   I feel fine and am not worried.    I can’t believe that the first time I leave the apartment in months to go to work that within a week I have been in such events that have put me at risk off having to get a test.  But sure we are already to open up and people that are getting unemployment are lazy etc....oh and trump guy at work says”it’lol all go away after the election”. Guy is an electrical engineer which I guess also makes him an epidemiologist and doctor....

    My favorite was that wearing masks makes you breath in your own carbon monoxide. Uh. I think if humans breathed out carbon monoxide, we would all be dead anyway.

    Ask him why he thinks that surgeons wear masks in the OR if they are more dangerous.  There literally is no response that is even close to lucid for that one.

    Well, technically we breathe out both carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, but not a significant enough amount of carbon monoxide to kill you...:)

    Ok it’s not that bad.  I mean it’s typical talking points.   The virus was made in a lab.  The fear and paranoia are just to ruin the greatest economy to weaken trump.  Masks don’t help because the virus can be vaporized and is .02 micrograms or something.   The whole world is in on it to make Donald trump look bad because he is the greatest most successful business man and that scares people.   The reason we have protests and rioting is because it’s what Obama taught us....keep in mind that the guy is Hispanic and these next words are his and it was what made my head spin the most..”the reason that red states have less cases has nothing to do with population density, it’s because there are less Hispanics and more white people.  We(Hispanics) are gonna keep barbequeuing and drinking out of our cousins cups and not wear masks.  White people still tailgate but they aren’t sharing beer”. That one made my head spin...also I heard several times we have more cases because we test more. People that have bought into this stuff are a cult.   This is a very smart dude. He has been involved with engineering some high level stuff that we are out here doing maintenance on. Someone that should by all accounts be intelligent enough to see through some snake oil salesman bullshit.  But here we are just got back from a corona virus test for a hoax virus that is part of a global conspiracy to make the greatest businessman presidents best of all time economy look bad because they couldn’t nail him on anything else....

    humans are funny beings. no matter how intelligent, sometimes our unwillingness to waiver from our biases causes our brains to not take in real proven information if it goes against those biases, and we'll believe in more insane things just so the world we've built in our own minds doesn't come crumbling down around us.
