I've read you can still test positive after having gotten it and recovered.

this is correct. we had a family friend test positive 3 times over a 21 day period, he had symptoms for only 5 days. no one else in his household (wife, one teenage kid) caught it or if they did, did not have any symptoms.
The virus is on this Earth forever. It isn't going away. That is why getting to herd immunity is important.Sasappis said:

I think the current thought, and yes it changes all the time, is that you not contagious while asymptomatic. You are contagious when presympotmatic, and outside of testing everyone everyday, there is no way to tell the difference. However, you are not contagious when postsymptomatic, even if you are still testing positive for traces via swab.swimmerbabe11 said:aggiemike02 said:

how long are you contagious for though? I thought you can be contagious while asymptomatic?
It is important. But we shouldnt be in a race to get it eitherGap said:The virus is on this Earth forever. It isn't going away. That is why getting to herd immunity is important.Sasappis said:

Anyone want to take a guess as to how many of these positive repeat tests get counted again?BohunkAg said:Nice use of testsaggiemike02 said:

I'm not sure. My uncle, who has been in a hospital/long-term care facility since mid-February (I believe), has tested positive for it 3 times but hasn't had any symptoms. He's 60 and overweight, so a high risk for sure. We went to visit my dad on Sunday and my aunt and her husband were over there. When I asked about how my uncle was doing, both my dad and aunt said he's not able to kick it. I didn't ask if he tested positive again, but they did say he doesn't have any symptoms. My aunt has POA due to the fall that put him there earlier this year resulted in mental issues. Not sure if he hit his head or had a lack of oxygen.jayelbee said:

so once you are officially clear, what is your plan? Will you resume normal life, disregarding all the Dora instructions? Or are you going to keep your distance, blend in, etc? If you are going back to normal, do you get a little card that says you already had it, or some other identifier? Really curious here, cause I said from week 2 the right play was to catch this crap before things got too crowded, then go back to normal life.ea1060 said:jayelbee said:

This is what I'm worried about. I tested positive and I'm currently on day 14 since first symptoms. I haven't had fever or symptoms in 4 days. I tested twice and hope to get two negative results, but I have a feeling I'll test positive.
It also depends on what you believe the age range of the Dallas-area protesters was...LostInLA07 said:
I think the answer depends on whether the under 50 hospitalizations in Dallas are people with other high risk conditions. If 50% are otherwise healthy people under 50 then we have a new problem, otherwise he is just observing one risk factor (age) and ignoring others.

I'm not an expert but I think there are three reasons we're seeing the increase in young cases
- Protests
- Bars
- Old folks learned their lesson early and are staying home

The most recent news articles (published within the last hour) indicate they have admitted adult patients.

Edited to add: has it been confirmed that there are widespread incidents of people being admitted to hospitals for things like knee surgeries only to test positive and be counted as a COVID hospitalization?
I'm asking because it seems odd to wait to test until the person is admitted. Seems like you would do this a day or two ahead, in order to minimize any potential exposure to hospital workers who don't regularly deal with COVID patients.
And I know there are rapid tests, but how widely available are they? Seems like there are still a lot of delays reporting test results and waiting to test right before a scheduled surgery runs the risk of not getting the result back quickly enough.
Yes....this is true. The protests did cause everyone to say "f-ck it" I guess it's OK for everyone if nothing else.cone said:
young people just aren't scared of it right now
maybe they will be more scared by the end of summer, but paranoia broke in a big way after the protests

Younger folks are more social, imo, and not just bars or parties.
Bars weren't known as champions of cleanliness pre-pandemic.Ag_07 said:rhoswen said:Ag_07 said:

True but I think bars are a big culprit of not following the occupancy and distancing guidelines.
From what I've seen restaurants and other places are doing a decent job of spacing people out, wiping down common areas, and taking the right precautions.
I've seen and heard multiple instances where bars aren't doing much of anything.
