Sen. Lindsey Graham self-quarantines as he awaits results of coronavirus test

[Leghorn21]

“Senator Graham was at Mar-a-Lago last weekend. He has no recollection of direct contact with the President of Brazil, who is awaiting results of a coronavirus test, or his spokesman who tested positive.

“However, in an abundance of caution and upon the advice of his doctor, Senator Graham has decided to self-quarantine awaiting the results of a coronavirus test.

“This is a precautionary measure. He will continue to work from home.”

12. WTF is on his hand? Snot?

3. Here's the problem

If he gets tested shortly after exposure, the tests will likely be negative, as he hasn’t enough time to develop antibodies yet. Then a few days later, he could spread it around, thinking he is invincible.

4. Not an antibody test

Measures actual viral RNA

11. When will replication be sufficient to give a positive test?

Does anybody know.

13. Good question.

The PCR process that's used to detect the virus is very sensitive (very, very sensitive--such that the early test kits were ruined because their negative controls, which should have zero virus, were testing positive, from some sort of contamination in the lab). But I don't know the actual virus numbers that correspond to that detection level.

14. Next question... Once a test turns positive, will there be enough virus in the sputum to spread it?

... or is it spreadable before the test is positive?

5. They actually mean: Colonovirus

His head is so far up Trumps ass.

6. Aren't you lucky li'l Lindsey!

You have a well-paying job with good health care coverage so you can actually self-quarantine and still pay the rent.

For many other Americans, that's a luxury they can't afford. So let's see if you might consider voting for the House passed measure that helps out people who aren't as fortunate as you.

I won't hold my breath.
