"Maryland owes a debt of gratitude to the people of South Korea, Gov. Larry Hogan (R) said Monday after securing 500,000 coronavirus tests from the country over the weekend.
But Hogan acknowledged Monday that the deal would not have come together if it weren’t for his wife, first lady Yumi Hogan.

Yumi joined the governor Saturday to welcome a Boeing 777, the first-ever Korean Air passenger plane to land at Baltimore-Washington International Marshall Airport, which the governor said was carrying more tests than “four of the top five states in America” combined have completed."

The latest news release I saw still states one must show symptoms before applying to get tested. Wish I could get tested to see if it was safe for me to visit my 91 year old dad who could be at major risk if anyone brought the virus to him.

"According to the Tracking Project’s figures, nearly one in five people who get tested for the coronavirus in the United States is found to have it. In other words, the country has what is called a “test-positivity rate” of nearly 20 percent.

Whenever U.S. cities have tested a subset of the general population, such as homeless people or pregnant women, they have found at least some infected people who aren’t showing symptoms. And, as ProPublica first reported, there has been a spike in the number of Americans dying at home across the country. Those people may die of COVID-19 without ever entering the medical system, meaning that they never get tested.

There is clearly some group of Americans who have the coronavirus but who don’t show up in official figures. Now, using a statistic that has just become reliable, we can estimate the size of that group—and peek at the rest of the iceberg.

Testing for Covid-19 does not make it go away. I'm putting some faith in herd immunity, though I will continue to avoid the 'flu' by washing my hands, not touching my face and wearing a mask when I inspect properties. Though I wear glasses, I might go to ski goggles.

I would not be surprised if millions of Americans have already been exposed to it. Actually the more that test positive would be a good thing, that would mean their body has already defeated it, and the ratio of severity would go way down. For those carrying the antibodies, they could resume a more normal life. Actually for those testing negative, it would only mean they have not been exposed as of yet, but that could change as soon as they leave the test site. Personally, I would just like to get a test, and if it shows negative, it would mean I would have a short window to visit my 91 year old dad without fear of transmitting it to him.

Now South Korea is our source !!! We have been covering their dead *** since the Mid 1950s and thats where Uncle Billy says he got infected because he is a nut Fine--- If I was running this deal I would hand them over to the North Koreans and tell them to pay for their own protection - Lets see how that works out ? -- They have have sucked off us for 65+ years and we don't need them-- See how those crybaby's react to that ? No good since 1950 and no more money or support - I would sell them down the river and laugh LOL

And they avoided getting hijacked by the Federales.

Everybody loves them some herd immunity but they do not see themselves in that herd. How will we get that great plasma if some of you don't step up?
Leave a few drops of the Jack for Uncle Billy and send him out barefaced, maybe to one of those protests of fat loud people. We have plans for his antibodies.
