Hicks was tested Negative before getting on a plane to go to a rally which is why she was allowed to board. She was showing symptoms on the way back And tested positive.Does the availability of testing change that situation at all? Can you not just test someone who is in that situation and thus know if they are infectious or not?
Or is the test not reliable until someone has had it for at least 2 weeks?
There is a phase where the viral load is below the limit of detection for molecular (PCR) tests, but this is only 2-3 days after exposure.
This is why tests are sometimes repeated within a couple days in critical situations.
Antibody tests are post-infection and body's response has kicked in and built up. They are not as sensitive as well.
Well, the next question is:Karma train choo choo motherfucker!
I'm not sure how the election is regulated. Wouldn't it be possible to delay (or invalidate) the election because one of the candidates wasn't able to take part in the final part of campaign?Not really seeing how lying helps him here. He's behind in polls and just doing nothing till the election doesn't really seem like a good strategy to change things up.

E.g. in some countries it is controlled how much time candidates get in public media - each one gets free time for public TV ads and a seat in all debates - even if he is a complete moron*. So if there were just 2 candidates and one of them wouldn't be able to reach the voters because of illness, I'm pretty sure some countries would postpone the election.
I'm not sure if that would make any sense in US though, since formally you're not choosing the president.
*) which leads to some really interesting candidates. Like the guy from the photo.
Everyone watching the presidential debate in Poland (2015) had to hear what he thinks about abortion, nuclear power plants and genetics.
And you may think he's just a beefy lawyer or maybe an action movie star who immigrated from Austria.
But he is actually a bouncer.

He's lying. He gets to duck the town hall debate and pretend he fought off the virus and it was nothing. I'm calling bullshit.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC the US election dates are pretty much set in stone and cannot be delayed for pretty much any reason.
Yeah, the fucker deserves every bit of suffering that comes his way. I'd prefer he survives and suffers the ravages of long-Covid rather the shuffling off this mortal coil without any punishment.I have to say I get irritated with the sanctimony and virtue-signalling that some commentors (not necessarily meaning this forum) display - going on about how they wish Trump well despite political differences, or, much worse, sternly telling off anyone who doesn't take the news as seriously as they do. I don't care about the well-being of Trump and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. Morally he deserves everything he gets, and practically it would be a net reduction of human suffering if he were gone.
I do, however, think it would be annoying if he were to die in office, and benefit from the JFK-effect. A narcissist like him needs to experience losing an election. On a similar basis I was sad when Thatcher died - it just emphasised how she got to die of old age, politically undefeated.

So that would imply that everyone who has been in close contact with Trump should now be tested. Quarentining would only be necessary if they test positive or if, for some reason, there aren't enough tests available to test everyone (which I assume is the general problem that is why the quarantine rule exists for most of us).
Well do you want him to die of old age or not? I myself wouldn't mind seeing him go out the same way my cousin in law did, being on a vent for 3-4 weeks in a hopeless fight against COVID. Since Trump got a lot of good people killed in horrible deaths only fair that he should suffer the same fate. Too bad he's probably lying.
Yeah, if you test positive with rt-PCR, then you are infectious. It doesn't mean you are going to develop severe symptoms, but you are now a travelling bag of viral particles distributing that shit like Johnny Virus Seed.

LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!
I got smashed on the ASX today. Market tanked once the news got out. Not really bothered about the money given what the news was.This Simpson’s screencap is all over Twitter now. I know trolls are gonna troll, but this is a huge national security threat now so forgive me if I don’t share your glee.
Also, take a look at the market futures right now. Might have to halt trading tomorrow morning.
That's 2020 for you man.Damn, first his boat sinks in lake travis, now this. Rough year.
Thats cause you are a player of games, like games of incomplete information where you have to estimate the most probable winning move again and again. Trump is one trick pony.Most likely, yes. Problem is I don't see how the alternative of doing nothing is better. I'd rather have a 10% chance of improving my position through the debates, even knowing that there's a 90% chance of making it worse, than a 0% chance of improving my position by doing nothing.
