Does that mean they remain asymptomatic or they are they just catching cases early (before symptoms) since they are testing everyone?

I'm curious to find out how many people have had it, are past it, and never had symptoms, but I'm not sure we have a good way of determining that right now.

I'm guessing they're doing widespread testing. -- nm - loosilu Mar 22, 09:32 1
- I should hope so. I think the US was the only country that rejected the WHO test AFAIK -- nm - con_carne Mar 22, 10:04
I haven't seen stories on it yet, probably too soon. But, I am wondering if we can test antibodies in us so we can find out if we had it. - Bacon Mar 22, 09:20 2
- yeah, I'm thinking at some point we are going to need this, to let part of society start functioning again, maybe? -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 09:23 1
  - I keep going back to Contagion and how close it is. Get an antibody test that says you have immunity now, and you wear a badge and can go anywhere. -- nm - Bacon Mar 22, 09:25
