    I’m not believing this WHY would a person from there even be tested?

    What's even more strange is he got tested before @Muskie did.

    well I've not read it. I.E. doesn't like http vs https. But does it say COVID-19 or just coronavirus? I ask because even the flu is a coronavirus.

    So either this thing really is potent that it can penetrate a remote tribe, they're manipulating test results, or (as I've read in an article) that there is no test specific for Covid-19. Making all tests for any type of Coronavirus simply being marked down as Covid-19.
     
    Chinatown and buddyd157 Thank this.

    Maybe because these countries care more about their citizens than the blowhard in charge of this country. It is a worldwide pandemic. I've been to that part of the world, Peru and Brazil have strict controls, policy in place to keep these tribes protected. Although, obviously there must have been some interaction with the public here.

    so 2,510,057 tests being done already in the US isn't enough for you?

    Not when I can't even get tested. That number is a drop in the bucket to get 230 million back to normal. Might even need multiple testing over time. Has to be fast turn around.
