Virus testing

The people being tested for the virus are those who exhibit one or more symptoms. Of those 13% test positive and of those 1.3% die. 80% of the fatalities happen to people over the age of 60 and 90% of those to people who have one or more underlying health problems. If you are under the age of 60 and have no serious health problems with heart or respiratory you can feel fairly confident that the virus will not attack you. Add to that if you follow the safe distance rules you will be even less likely to catch the virus and this will also help you avoid the flu which has already killed 23,000 this season. The reason to follow the safe distance rules is the fact that you could test negative today and get the virus tomorrow. In other words behave as if you are positive
