If treatment protocols (rest, hydration, observation) for Covid are basically the same for flu, are the tests - TWuG Mar 13, 06:05 9
- Even if you’re right (I dunno, maybe?) data is central to coherent public health policy. - mafic Mar 13, 07:11 1
  - That's where testing matters. It informs policy. It doesn't, in this case, really affect treatment -- nm - TWuG Mar 13, 07:16
- The virus seems to attack people's lungs at random so it's good to know it's not the flu to watch for that. - spamlet Mar 13, 06:40 5

    - Wouldn't that be a disastrous capacity issue? -- nm - oblique Mar 13, 06:52 3
