I had a rough flu over the Christmas holiday and really wish there was a way to test to see if that was COVID or not. I imagine it was just the flu due to the timeline but sure would like to know for certain.https://news.yahoo.com/antibody-tests-key-ending-covid-19-lockdowns-162305617.html
Antibody tests key to ending COVID-19 lockdowns
Paris (AFP) - It's the key that opens to door from total lockdown: serologic testing, which will show definitively who has contracted COVID-19 and is in theory safe to return to work.
"Everyone's waiting for serologic testing, the whole world," said France's Health Minister Olivier Veran.
He said that the global research community was focussing on ways of perfecting the tests, which measure viral antibodies in a person's blood that signal immunity.
Veran said that mass production of the tests could start within weeks.

Experts tell White House coronavirus can spread through talking or even just breathing
Fineberg, chair of the NAS' Standing Committee on Emerging Infectious Diseases and 21st Century Health Threats, said his letter was sent Wednesday evening in response to a query from Kelvin Droegemeier with the Office of Science and Technology Policy at the White House.
"This letter responds to your question concerning the possibility that [coronavirus] could be spread by conversation, in addition to sneeze/cough-induced droplets," the letter states. "Currently available research supports the possibility that [coronavirus] could be spread via bioaerosols generated directly by patients' exhalation," it continues.
Glad your seeing the best of this. Personally I’m fighting the urge to go batshit crazy here.... lol. Really missing going out to eat the most. I think I will make a take out run before too long but now that the confirmed cases are closer around its not a great idea.House Arrest and solitary confinement. I am only allowed to talk to the Warden (wife) in person. All other communications must be electronic. I really don't miss face to face human interaction. I do look forward to the time we can get some property. Then I can have my own shooting range and almost no need to see people, other than family. Isolation and time to enjoy too, what more could you ask for?

People in many major cities in Asia have been regularly wearing masks for many years because of the air pollution. It's not a big adjustment for them.Most in Asia have been wearing masks for a while now, and have recommended we do the same.
