Stay home!
Just something to consider….when were the test specimens taken….if they are say 10-14 days old, wouldn’t that be considered 10-14 days ago which would not be current…it would be VERY interesting if test were done and within 24 yrs have results
This highly contagious disease is not going away anytime soon and as contacts among people increase it will further promote transmission of the coronavirus.”
