    Given that the incubation period is roughly five days, that result seems a little surprising.

    not really, they probably had never been tested before and this virus can travel via host without symptoms...they didn't have to incubate in the classrooms to be infected. They did expose a lot of classmates though so we'll see what comes from it on day 6

    Sure, that could likely be true, but then there's no relationship between schools and the illness other than being the test site.

    I'm not trying to argue that schools aren't going to be a big problem; they are, just that infections detected on the first day of school obviously didn't happen at school

    Donald Trump claims veterans in a study which found hydroxy can kill 'were READY TO DIE' as he falsely denies FDA warning not to take it outside hospitals - then makes two cabinet members back him up
    • President Donald Trump said veterans who died from the coronavirus while taking hydroxychloroquine were sick people who were 'ready to die'
    • He has been defending his taking of hydroxychloroquin to counter any exposure to coronavirus and blasted a study using VA data
    • 'There was a false study done, where they gave it to very sick people, extremely sick people, people that were ready to die,' President Trump said
    • At a Cabinet meeting, he had officials defend his decision to take the drug
    • Trump also claimed academic research showing the dangers of hydroxychloroquine was done by his enemies
    • Trump has come under fire after admitting to taking the medication
    • Trump blasted Speaker Nancy Pelosi as a 'sick woman' with a lot of 'mental problems' after she called him 'morbidly obese'
    • China bashed Trump for touting 'witchcraft' to prevent and threat coronavirus
    • Trump revealed Monday he's taken hydroxychloroquine for around two weeks
    • White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Trump shared that health information to be 'transparent' with the American people

    But, what it does show us is that there are many more people out there that are infected that we have no record of. That's the scary part and why this thing can flare up again so easily. Despite the idiot in the white house declaring we have made it past the virus, we have a long ways to go and the sooner this guy is out of there the better the country will be for it as he's a dangerous person (and not in a good way) without even really knowing it.
