@christinebenson518 Well, we've acquired more knowledge of this virus since March. And it is spread by droplets, not aerosol. Many were telling people masks weren't great at protecting the wearer. But, nobody has ever claimed the don't protect others from an infected person wearing a mask. Asia and Europe have proven mask wearing greatly cuts down the transmission of this disease. There are plenty of scientific studies that have proven that. Don't you read the ncbi papers on the virus? How can you be so damned ignorant?

@Chicago48 I'd rather require a cognitive test. I've know 90 year olds that are still amazingly sharp, and 29 year olds that had totally fried their brains.

@garycampbell1076 Sure, but it is preferable to the children bringing home the virus.

@emanuelleitch3370 You make sense. There are flood stories throughout the middle east. Read the Epic of Gilgamesh. One reason I glad I'm a Jew, not a Christian, as a child I asked the same question of a rabbi and a preacher, "How did penguins and polar bears get to the ark?" The preacher told me I was blasphemous (I was 7). The rabbi said "Good question, I'll have to think about it."

@livefree316 The mortality rate in the US is 3.5%, not 1%. And not all who survive ever fully recover.

@melymichu6731 While mutations of this virus may occur, the immune system only recognizes the surface proteins, mainly one of the two spike proteins. If there is a mutation in that protein, significant enough the immune system no longer recognizes it, it will also prevent the virus from attaching to the ACE-2 receptor site, so will not be able to enter host cells.

@wavetranquility4243 If you were vaccinated for tuberculosis, of course you test positive. The test if for antibodies against the bacteria, which a person immune to TB would exhibit.
