no cure but vaccines are in test phases.

I believe the authorities just assumes that our local citizens are going to cooperate with the rules & be cool. So the police has really just stayed with their regular patrol as if nothing's wrong.

@DearJohn: this is no longer an issue. The protests r wat all r talking about. Which means, its prolly gonna get way worse!

The virus is still causing a lot of problems, it's still hospitalizing & killing people world wide.. So I think it's still an issue that's being over shadowed by the nation wide protests.

very true

Supposedly November 1st will be the beginning of the end for covid-19.

Also called a molecular test, this COVID-19 test detects genetic material of the virus using a lab technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A fluid sample is collected by inserting a long nasal swab (nasopharyngeal swab) into your nostril and taking fluid from the back of your nose or by using a shorter nasal swab (mid-turbinate swab) to get a sample. In some cases, a long swab is inserted into the back of your throat (oropharyngeal swab), or you may spit into a tube to produce a saliva sample. Results may be available in minutes if analyzed onsite or a few days — or longer in locations with test processing delays — if sent to an outside lab. PCR tests are very accurate when properly performed by a health care professional, but the rapid test can miss some cases.
