If only the test had caught the person that was carrying.

This is all fucking bullshit.

If only the test had caught the person that was carrying.

Then what is the point of testing?

It's fucking useless.

COVID-19 must be transmissible by SAT phone and Wi-Fi, eh?

The point of testing is catch the virus. Kinda obvious there is a level of infection where it doesn't detect the virus. Someone could have been infected minutes before they took the test.

Fishin' reactor?

Does this seem fishy to anyone else?

They were probably working for scale.

There are limitations to testing.

A person can be infected and still test negative if his viral load is below the threshold of the test's capability.

As usual, one case proves everything.
