That is an idiotic rule. By the time they show symptoms they have likely been infecting others for days and approximately half their lungs is already scarred.
1/2 their lung scarred? Where do you get that? key cases are mild or asymptomatic and have no permanent damage. Most people that end up on a vent with ARDS will recover fully if they survive. The fear mongering and ignorance around here is deep.
It is literally what doctors are saying. Don’t get tested unless you are showing symptoms. It’s one reason Trump is not being tested, and that IS the correct response.
This isn’t the plague. This isn’t a movie. This is basically the flu. And like the flu, if you are old and infirm, it may be fatal. For the rest of the population, if you show symptoms, get plenty of rest and drink plenty of fluids.
Meanwhile, the flu:
