It is still very difficult to get a test weeks after we were promised they were available to everyone.
If we don't know where we stand re infections (the hidden threat), how can we make a sane decision that it's safe to go back to business as usual?
Hope is not a strategy. I've no confidence in what they're telling me - it is NOT safe to go back to "normal" until we get more testing done. |
If you've remained in quarantine for at 2/3 weeks, then you don't need to be tested for the virus. Later we will have antibody tests available to determine who has had the virus and who needs to self-protect later in the year if the virus returns.
If you fall into the group with one or more health issues that can cause life threatening side effects from the virus, then you should stay home until the second phase of "reopening" begins. I fall into that group so I will be wearing a mask and practice distance for a while longer, even though I think I had the virus from taking a cruise in early Dec.
It's all bolis down to common sense... imo We all need to practice safety health measures going forward, like wearing a mask when sick with colds, etc so we don't spread germs...
