It's a MIRACLE!

[bigten]

Jimmie Johnson tested positive for this ugly virus the end of last week, and as many know, had to sit out Sundays race. Fast forward to today, and he has now tested negative twice and cleared to compete this upcoming weekend....
Maybe someone more medically knowledgeable can fill me in on a couple of issues.
1, when did the 14 day quaranteen be dismissed as unnecessary?
2, do people that contract this usually get well in 3 to 5 days?
Or, are there other reasons at play here?

Nascar is still racing? I thought they were still going in circles chasing their tales?

not in the medi field but you can get a posi one day and negative the next...no symptoms.....i'm sure he will be tested again before sunday…..also 4 HMS employees have been cleared to work too.....

Ivy League cancelled all Fall sports today, on the heels of Stanford canceling 11 varsity sports permanently. Info from high up in NCSU is that Fall football is out, Spring is possible. No out of conference play and no fans. If they play in Spring, do you turn around and play the next Fall? Highly unlikely.

You want to see a miracle.....If Biden gets elected this "pandemic" won't be nearly as bad as it is now.

Some Ivy League schools are online only in the fall. Thought Ivy League already stated football in the spring.

Edit: just looked it up, possibly spring, but no guarantees.

I'm done with Nooscar so I really don't care.

I am not watching either but pick up info here and there. Thought it odd that anyone is contaminated with a "weeks to recover" virus, yet just a couple or so days later, all is good. My curiosity has me wondering why. To kill the "noose" scam?. Other scenarios they wish to silence?

I very respectfully disagree with you.
It will flat out disappear, somehow.

Dont you know JJ walks on water.

I'm not sure about Nascar's policy, but I believe the PGA has set a new precedent for athletes. 2 negative tests 24 hours apart, and you can resume play.

That would be a typical response to any other virus - symptom free for 24-48 hours, depending on the policy, and you can return. Covid is a superkiller though.

It's not as miraculous as it sounds. Guy at next door office warehouse had a relative stay with him last week of June. Last week, that cousin loses sense of taste. Gets tested, +. Informs his cousin, who since he's had direct contact, needs to get tested. Now, by the time the guy next door gets his test results, he will be 15 days after direct contact with a +(his cousin). Therefore, by the time the guy next door tests come back, if it is -, essentially his quarantine is over per his DR. But during that wait, everyone next door is wondering what to do? If his tests come back posi, then they ALL have now had 1st contact, and then must ALL be tested. In the multiple days between the testing and the results, do they visit family? Friends? Shop?

JJ's a health nut. I like how he shows his BPM visibly in his car during races. Covid won't hurt him I imagine.

What's miraculous is that JJ can get tested, and results, seeming as fast as a lap at Bristol, while the rest of us have to wait days and days for the first test, keeping everyone they've been around in suspense wondering if THEY"ll then have to be tested. If you think about it, it's a circular logic that could possibly go on forever.

Sucks being a serf doesn’t it?

I am betting that the positive was a false positive and the two negatives seem to confirm that.

It don't seem to matter... the test reportedly run at 50% accuracy. Just test until you can provide desired response.

I 'm sure the desired response is usually the last test.

That's what I was thinking as well. It's possible if he was truly asymptomatic, that they caught it toward the end of the cycle, but I think it's more plausible it was a false positive with 2 negative tests that close on the heels of a positive one.
