Why aren’t people getting reinfected then?

I'd be curious about the larger picture, how many people have been infected twice already.

I was saying for states that require a 14 day quarantine getting a test doesn’t mean you and your kids wouldn’t also need to quarantine for 14 days. The test doesn’t cancel the quarantine.

At least in my state, a negative test after day 7 of quarantine can cancel the remaining requirement.

Oh interesting! I hadn’t heard that yet.

As of the last time we looked at this question in our hospital group (about two weeks ago), most of these "re-infection" cases that get reported are probably sick with something else. The test comes back positive again usually due to residual viral particles that the body hasn't yet cleared, but they're not actually shedding viable, infectious viruses (which can only be determined by viral culture, a test not routinely done on most people because of the time and expense involved).

Not saying it couldn't happen or hasn't happened, but most of these cases reported by the media don't pan out upon further investigation.

Oh interesting, thanks for the insight. Sometimes I learn new things on these fine boards

View attachment 481845This is from the Texas medical Covid staff and others ranking most risky to less risky. I’m not saying this is what is real. Always has to be a disclaimer it seems anymore when you post.

This lines up with DoD orders given to the armed forces. The high risk activities listed are all banned for service members.

Central Florida. I keep hearing here how the problem is just south Florida. Moving up I guess.

I don’t live in one of those states, at least not yet. I think the governor is considering it right now. I don’t know if he would just join with NY/NJ/CT or have his own metric. Whether it’s required or not at the state level I do think anyone who travels to a tourist area should probably at least consider it. I have a friend who is going to Yellowstone in a few weeks and even though Wyoming isn’t on the list for quarantine they are still planning on doing it for the 14 days when they get back.

Edit: I see now that PA has now officially joined in on the travel restrictions. Same 15 states that NY/NJ/CT have. So I would have to quarantine 14 days upon returning from FL and many other places. Gonna stay local this summer.

Chicago too

Chicago too

My vacation plans are going to my trailer for a week. I'm surprised so many are in a hurry to travel anywhere.

47 out 50 states are seeing an increase in cases in the last 14 days. How much trouble does the US need to be in before you acknowledge reality?

But lots of places are still mostly locked down and require masks. This is confusing.

 

[xdan0920]

That’s a fine opinion to have. I wouldn’t agree. But neither of us can prove it.

What on earth do you mean? We can EASILY prove that to be a false statement.

That is the thing with this virus, I truly believe these experts don't have a grasp on what will come next with it or how to handle it other than the basic wear the mask, social distancing, and washing hands/hygiene. It seems likes things change with this virus quite frequently.

None. Neither of those are confirmed re-infections.

Go ahead.

Much of the world has “handled” the virus. It can and has been done.

 

[MaximumEd]

I would add “so far” to the first sentence. Way too early to say how it all ends up. Jmo.

I agree with that, but the United States sure has seemed to make a mess of it.

Nowhere is mostly locked down (currently) there is a bunch of Americans everywhere enjoying Pleasure Island by making jack...es of themselves, little do they know their shifts in the salt mines will be starting real soon.
