Your Coronavirus Test Is Positive. Maybe It Shouldn’t Be. So the NY Times gets it right. As does President Trump. Pelosi and her crowd are wrong. This is something that should cause a lot of folks to wake up.The usual diagnostic tests may simply be too sensitive and too slow to contain the spread of the virus. In what may be a step in this direction, the Trump administration announced on Thursday that it would purchase 150 million rapid tests.
On Thursday, the United States recorded 45,604 new coronavirus cases, according to a database maintained by The Times. If the rates of contagiousness in Massachusetts and New York were to apply nationwide, then perhaps only 4,500 of those people may actually need to isolate and submit to contact tracing.
