The tests for this virus are good for any given moment in time. If a person tests negative one day that does not mean they will not be positive the following day. I have been hearing this over and over by the experts on TV.

How can there possibly be enough tests to test all asymptomatic people on a daily basis? Think about it. We will never know how many carriers there are in this country that are asymptomatic at any given time.

This is truly a scary thought until we have a vaccine or treatment that works. Just my thoughts and concerns.
