Is he sick? Does he have COVID-19 or did he just test positive for the virus?

I wouldn't wish that disease on anyone vulnerable to it, even that guy.

 

What concerns me more, though, is that it's in the prison system. I need to step back from virus news for a bit this evening. This is getting to me.

Do you have studies that are showing you this is like an HIV vs AIDS situation? I've only heard you make that distinction, and I know you are up to date with scientific studies.

I thought NY released all its inmates.

@Porcelain, I have read nothing to suggest anything other than if you test positive, you are confirmed as having the virus -- whether with symptoms or asymptomatic.

Someone can test positive for the coronavirus and never come down with COVID-19, which is the disease the virus causes. COVID-19 stands for COronaVIrusDisease 2019 vs coronavirus. People are using the terms interchangeably and that is incorrect.

Weinstein is not "sick" but his test was positive.  So was Rand Paul's (Congressman or Senator).

 

THAT is what scares me so much about this virus.

People can have it and be asymptomatic.

They think they're fine and next thing you know ... they've tested positive.

Being an "older" person, I wear a mask & gloves when I got grocery shopping.
