95 symptomatic but only 47-71 potential positives? those others have a different flu/virus right now?

I assume they tested them all...wasn't there 210 employees?

trying to get a picture of all the data
2/3 of symptomatic tests that came back are positive.
The rest are inconclusive or haven't happened yet, as of that tweet.
I'd assume the final tally to be round 60-70% have COVID-19

The only reason I can think to NOT test is that 1> test are limited 2> they had no symptoms 3> they quarantined them anyways so who cares.

BUT

what a waste of a chance for case report data in that case

Ya, I get it...

But man...Would love it if the cruise ship or some sort of closed environment got every single person tested it could be pretty good data to learn from.

So Trump is now saying he has been tested.

Not experiencing any symptoms and his doctor stated it was not necessary.

Awaiting results but doesn't expect a problem.

lets be honest here

even if positive they will say negative unless he really is in a bad way

establishing confidence is both the smart and predictable move

Maybe. But if I were a government official trying to get everyone to calm down I would let the test be private for a little while and make sure he wasn't going to get sick. And if he was positive and doing well I would pray that around to calm everybody.

actually I'm now selling myself on the idea that they will say he's positive even when he's negative. You're blowing my mind.

there are many ways to play it no doubt...haven't really thought of it that much
positive but healthy when negative is certainly one of em

I honestly question if Tom hanks actually has it...bit convenient for him to be the face of Covid 19

who knows...above my pay grade that info is

Is it bad that I still give zero fucks about this whole thing? Worse comes to worse and i'm living in the woods eating squirrel & spaghettios. Anybody who tries to lay siege to my spaghettio hut is getting wasted like it's a zombie movie.

Devil's advocate

Since there's no working vaccine, they could very well give him a false positive.

"Look, I feel fine, just a cold, honestly, let me tell you....I've never felt b"

MR. PRESIDENT! BUT MR. PRESIDENT!

"Hold on now, hold on Mrs., don't be rude....ok?......don't be rude...."

But you didn't answer the questi..

"Well maybe if you let me finish my..see I was gonna tell you, I was gonna tell you....but you rudely interrupted. You rudely interrupted, and you would've had the answer by now but you didn't let me finish. You didn't let me finish and now you don't have your answer so please, relax...relax ok? We're gonna try this again and people, people try not to be rude............so..... I got tested....., didn't feel I need to be tested but I got tested, and....I felt fine, I felt absolutely fine, probably as good as I've ever felt.

But I got tested, aaaand.....the doctors, doctors and lab, these are great people by the way, fantastic people. These doctors, and mainly the laboratory's, because the labs are the ones who do the tests.
But the laboratory will have the result in...I don't know, one or two days? One or two days and the results will be in.
Really fast by the way, really fast if you wanna compare this tests with other tests that might be a little bit longer, but really fast, super fast.
But whatever it takes to get the results back, one or two days probably 2 days, ok?
You know we, we gotta let them do their jobs, because panic doesn't help anyone. Panic doesn't help anyone folks.
Let's be nice. Especially to these people, and we wanna be nice to everyone you know we oughtta be nice to everyone, but eapecially these people, right now.
We gotta be nice, gotta be nice folks.
Ok next question. You*points*, you.
Yeah, no not you. Not you....you, yes go ahead."

*positive result*


"So, it's positive. I got my test results from the laboratory, great people by the way, great people. But I got my test results back from the laboratory, aaaaaaand, The doctor told me that my test was positive.
But I'm not worried.
I'm not worried and you shouldn't worry either because what can you do about it? What can you do about it right? There's nothing you can do. Right now there's nothing you can do.
Sooooooooo, I'll be fine. I know I'll be fine and most people will. That's the thing here most people will be absolutely fine, a lot of people don't know that..... most people are absolutely fine, just like a cold.
Some people have strong immune systems, some people don't, but I'll be fine, I probably have the strongest immune system in the world."


And so Trump's fine.
Everything is fine, just stay in doors and let us pass some shit at midnight.
