The tests are not accurate. [1] We are running around like chickens freaking out about tests. The only thing to do at this point is Social Distancing so the growth curve flattens out. Testing is NOT a solution. Testing will not make a sick person better. We have limited resources. Testing is being advocated by those trying to trace the community spread. I have news for you, if you think you have it you got it! Everyone will get it. Tracking this is a waste of resources at this point as the false positives mean additional limited Frontline Health Care workers treating actually sick individuals. We need to minimize the community spread, that means stay away from events. Work from home.
Individuals should self quarantine at any sign of illness. Critical patients should be admitted to hospitals. Everyone else should do everything in their power to slow the spread. You got a cough? Stay home. You feel tired or run down? Stay home. You have a fever and it went away? Stay home for the next 14 days. If your employer will not let you work from home, email them that you believe you are an asymptotic carrier of the COVID-19 virus and if they will not let you take paid sick leave or work from home you will be in the office immediately. Tell all your coworkers you requested to stay home and management wouldn't let you... Let the lawyers sort it out with HR.
