No. But I can't wait to be tested. I reckon most in our county had it in January & February.

@Valentine If by most you mean like 5% max.

@Valentine Science isn't for everyone.

@dondon selective science seems to rock some people's boats 😷

@Valentine There have been several studies in several different countries getting 2 - 5 % infections rate. There is nothing "selective" going on. We need to stop listening to dumb people, who come up with conspiracy theories.

@dondon Perhaps you could explain your selected statistical surveys to the unfortunate relatives of the late soldiers in Holyoke Soldiers Medical Centre. Unchecked, this virus will race through any and every collection of people. Unfortunately such soldiers are now ‘dumb’ perhaps because the authorities took the same ostrich mentality of a few heralding unhelpful statistics. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/holyoke-soldiers-home-massachusetts-veterans-coronavirus-deaths/2020/04/10/8912d062-7b3d-11ea-9bee-c5bf9d2e3288_story.html

@Valentine They are not surveys, either random sampling or blood work anlysis, so they give an acurate representation. Selective would be taking a very small group like an army unit and testing that only. Also your argument doesn't make any sense [quote]Unchecked, this virus will race through any and every collection of people[/quote] That is the point, only a small portion has had it so if left unchecked a lot more will get it.

@Valentine i think it was rife here before they are telling us too. I was bad with my athsma and throat just before xmas...and my husband was so poorly over xmas and new year...the worst ive ever seen him.

My sister in law tested positive...but is back in work now. I have 2 friends who have left lost parents x

@Valentine It would be interesting if there was an antibody test to see who had had it already. It could have been circulating for a while before being properly identified.
