Well, if a “woman in the Philippines” said it, it must be true.

[JonPreston]

They eat a lot of Spam in the Philippines, so that’s my best guess.

They should test family members. Many Covid-19 positive people are asymptomatic.

[Lizavetta]

Bekema has not had any exposure to the outside world - except for when her husband went out to do groceries two weeks before

Then she DID have contact with the outside world, indirectly.

I can't take much more of this lame ass reporting we are constantly subjected to.

Its really something, isn’t it?

Not sure how quickly the virus manifests itself but could she have gotten it immediately prior to the test as she was entering the hospital.

[Stravinsky]

False positive?

[McGruff]

her husband went out to do groceries two weeks before she got tested

[Tax-chick]

Well said.

RE: her husband went out to do groceries two weeks before she got tested

OK, I’m a little slow today. What does that imply? That her husband is positive but asymptomatic?

[FirstFlaBn]

She probably also fails to understand how she got pregnant.

RE: “her husband went out to do groceries”

So, he got the virus?

[McGruff]

I guess it depends upon what the meaning of ‘zero contact with outside world’ is.

“he got the virus?”

Don’t know, but a person can be a carrier and not be sick, or be aware he has it.

He could have carried it as a result of breathing in drops, touching an item that was touched by a sickie, or the cootie could’ve come in on one of the grocery bags if touched by a carrier bag boy.
