Message: [QUOTE="Goatmeat, post: 3608401, member: 10596"] Right now we have a multitude of tests available. There are rapid tests that come back with results in 45 mins, and there are the traditional tests that take days. The incubation period (“gestational period”) for a positive test in an asymptomatic patient is unknown. The issue is that the false negative rate of all these tests is unknown as well. It is hypothesized at around 20-30%, so if you test 10 people and it returns negative, 2 or 3 of then were actually positive for the virus. Short version - it’s very complicated. Not as easy as the general public thinks it is. [/QUOTE]
