Here is a test that can be done for free.


On Friday, British ear, nose and throat doctors, citing reports from colleagues around the world, called on adults who lose their senses of smell to isolate themselves for seven days, even if they have no other symptoms, to slow the disease’s spread. The published data is limited, but doctors are concerned enough to raise warnings.

“We really want to raise awareness that this is a sign of infection and that anyone who develops loss of sense of smell should self-isolate,” Prof. Claire Hopkins, president of the British Rhinological Society, wrote in an email. “It could contribute to slowing transmission and save lives.”

lol.

5 million people got the heck out of Wuhan right before the Chinese quarantined it.

Don't be so quick to praise China - if they would've acted sooner - even by a week - the rest of the world wouldn't even be dealing with this right now.

They knew there was a problem and they did nothing.

Post Chicago Doctor’s Blunt Speech About COVID-19...

"A successful shelter in place means that you will feel like it was all for nothing. And you would be right. Because 'nothing' means that nothing happened to your family."

Dumb cuckhold Trumpers. You’ll never learn.

You make it obvious that you have nothing of value to say when you resort to childish petty name calling.

Another hot air response with no meaning. You care about your family, the rest of America be damned, we got it. Peak selfishness, plunge the entire globe into a great depression because you are wetting the bed over a virus that possibly kills 1% of those infected.

YOu really feel it's a none threat? Ok, walk into a hospital with no mask, take a deep breath, touch your face, go to the market and grab items and then eat without washing your hands.

I bet you won't do it.

It's not just my family, but millions of other families. You may not have anyone you care about, but many of us do.
