Do I really think..... Yes. I have no doubt that the Yankees, Olympics, or any other organization would absolutely quarantine anyone who has a positive test. No question about it. What is in question is whether a positive test truly means a case.

And you misunderstood "look-until-you-find-domething." I wasn't referring to you personally, I was referring to the testing protocol. How many of those "cases" identified when "they are more thoroughly tested for Covid than most humans on the planet" were found in healthy people who showed no signs of infection? How many vaccinated folks walking around every day would be identified as a "case" if they had to undergo that level of testing? If you test enough then you are sure to find what you are looking for. The question should be, does a positive test indicate an infection to be concerned about or are the tests so sensitive that they are finding "cases" that aren't really cases at all?
