[QUOTE="Ardoc2, post: 196359, member: 35578"] AndrogenHacker, I have a question about COVID-19 testing. How do they correlate finding COVID-19 present in your nasal cavity with an actual systemic infection? I assume there could be an obvious answer that I am unaware of, but to put things in 'silly' terms, if my son sticks a crayon up his nose, he does not have a systemic crayon infection. (yes ridiculous comparison but only to clarify my example). Are there people who have COVID-19 present in their nasal passage who don't actually get infected? Is it possible we are only testing exposure rather than infection? [I](could explain asymptomatic people)[/I] Is it possible that people who have tested positive a second time, are only testing positive for a second exposure and not a second infection? [/QUOTE]
