  1. Also people are also not considering those infected who have very mild symptoms and shrug it off as allergies or more mild colds (coupled with not being able to get tested) would absolutely be thought of as asymptomatic for most people.
  2. There are 2 aspects to tests, specificity and sensitivity. In my experience you would want to have a rapid antibody test to be not very specific (ok to pick up similar caronavirus antibodies) and be rather sensitive with a higher rate of false positives. You can then go back and retest the positive samples using a virus nutralization method that takes more time/ resources, but you are screening out the definitely negative cases. Also don't get me started on the differences in antibodies (Igg, Igm) and how usually trying to detect one doesn't mean you can detect the other in the same test.
  3. Essential worker, we split up our section into two groups and the other 2 come in at 7:00AM to 12:00PM and we come in at 12:15PM to 5:15PM. We get 3 hours "work" from home (but really how much work can I do at home when I'm using BSC's, pipettes, and thermocyclers) We have limited contact with the people in our building between the 2 shifts. I think this is going to end on June 1st. Also my family got the full stimulus.
  4. Everytime I hear of white people feeling oppressed my mind jumps to the quote "To oppressors equality feels like oppression."
  5. To @skillzdadirecta point. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/black-woman-shot-killed-after-kentucky-police-entered-her-home-n1205651
  6. So he would rather she wasn't tested? Or is it simply that it gave him a result he didn't want. Oh noes the test is no good it's not a yes man.
  7. Especially there is already a treasure trove of things they can go after with his failson, unless they are nervous about similar scrutiny on Trump's failfamily
  8. Why do people keep posting the image of Trump holding normal sized hornets?
  9. Stacy Abrams is super smart, and can very clearly get her point across when speaking/being interviewed. Also I think it was said here before that she would be insurance that the R's would not try to impeach Biden.
  10. Usually Chadwick but i'm just Chad Also the origin of Chad is Wesh and means battle or warring Also my last name is Menard which is Germanic and means hardy, brave, and strong Also go fuck yourself
  11. Trump is literally like the Lethal Weapon II bad guy always holding up his badge and saying "diplomatic immunity"
  12. Trump is totally going to replace Fauci with a Qanon dude. Edit: sry @sblfilms I originally read it as responsible not irresponsible.
  13. Just some clarification on this lab, it was doing surveillance testing and research on coronavirus in wild animals and due to mishandling could of infected people and then mutated to allow for person to person infection. The virus itself was never cooked up in a lab. We do similar testing in wild animal populations for avian flu and swine flu. This still doesn't absolve the lab if they were responsible due to improper handling, but this lab was not the type of facility that could specifically engineer the virus. Here is an article about the lab in question which the US supports and was being asked to send more support by the US officials that were inspecting the facility in 2018. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/04/14/state-department-cables-warned-safety-issues-wuhan-lab-studying-bat-coronaviruses/
  14. I guess no one told him that this operative was working for the Republican candidate.
