Does "being tested" confer immunity to the virus?
I may sound like a wet blanket, but it has to be said. This whole message of "we've tested millions of people and that's how we beat the COVID", is just governments trying to bring calm to the general population. Australia are doing it, so were China, Korea, etc. It is dangerous and gives a false sense of security.
Just use common sense... Someone getting tested and being negative today could be infected tomorrow. I know it's all based on probability etc, but it just means that the whole idea of testing figures being a source of security is fake. That's the unfortunate truth!
Now we see the folly of this tactic showing in the "second waves" in China and Korea. Is it really a second wave, or did the first wave never finish?
