Honestly the testing is not very accurate, we have had to test patients multiple times, with mixed results. I think there working on about 65% accuracy as of now. And the rapid test is even worse. We rely more on signs and symptoms and chest X-rays. Everyone is going to get it at some point, just hope your body responds well.
Welcome to the board, RinkRatRN. I am going out on a limb here, and assuming that the RN in your UN is for Registered Nurse.
If so - thank you for all you do! When all is said and done, I hope that the COVID hysteria ends up being just that. But I do admire those who put themselves on the line before we really knew very much about this virus. Sure, it's looking like the mortality rate is fairly low [likely under 5%, and possibly even under 2%], and not really a risk of death for those under 70 who don't have preexisting conditions - but the reality is, we are only learning that now.
I have to commend any doctor or nurse or other front line healthcare worker who exposed themselves to a mystery virus which we didn't know much about at the time of its original spread, and are still learning a lot about as the days go by.
Thanks!
