Regarding this
[QUOTE=Slicker;4783024]If strip clubs (or any other public places of business) are equipped with testing that provides immediate and reliable test results then businesses can reopen safely and responsibly. Using Follies as an example, a test administrator (perhaps in a hazmat suit) in the Follies parking lot gives you a test while you are still parked in your vehicle. You're only allowed to exit your vehicle and pay admission to Follies if your test comes back negative. If positive, you must exit the parking lot.
This provides a continuous testing framework since this test (with instant results) could theoretically be implemented by all public establishments before its workers and patrons are allowed to enter / re-enter (no exceptions). Without a continuous testing framework then reopening seems like an enormous gamble.
A company called Abbott has been and still is producing exactly this type of testing kit at scale. What's shocking to me is that there is no federal mandate that funds and deploys continuous testing. This solution seems like a silver bullet in terms of curbing the spread, saving lives, boosting consumer confidence, and speeding up economic recovery while we wait for a vaccine. The only real downside to this approach is that it will take longer to get inside a place of business.[/QUOTE]Actually, being in the medical industry that kind of testing and set up is QUITE expensive also there is not a "few minute" testing kit that is available with actual accurate results. Also, from a business standpoint it would be a loss for them to have all that equipment / test kit when they cost about 120 $ a pop for a 10 $ head admission fee? That's a -110 $ they would have to go on. The fastest test kits right now are 45 minutes and it requires you to have a PCR machine that can churn those results those machines alot are 5 k-10 k.

[QUOTE=SgtLurker;4783368]Gov Kemp declared today that bars and nightclubs will remain closed until the end of May, unless he extends it again.
Bummer![/QUOTE]Shit it's probably going to be longer then that I'm thinking July at the earliest.

I say this the strip club scene probably will never recover from this Coronavirus pandemic.

South Korea's attempted re-opening where 1 person infected over 100 other people shows how hard it is to keep the virus contained.
Shit sucks.

Shit sucks.[/QUOTE]And Fauci said today a vaccine may not be 100% effective and many folks like me won't get the vaccine anyway. And people are still screaming their stupidity about testing, all testing does is say you are or are not positive (maybe) at the time the test is taken. What about tomorrow?

Smh.

Ironically, there were 5 cars waiting at curb side take out and the drivers all wore masks. It is stupid people like this that make C-19 as contagious as it is. People don't think they can die. I just recover from C19 now and I can tell you this virus is as nasty as it gets. I walked into emergency and a few hours later, I don't have a clue what was going on. I woke up 3 weeks later in rehab.

Do you think you caught it at a Strip Club?

Strip club

I did not get any dances for fear of catching the virus. None of the girls got the virus. Maybe I am older than them. I tried to be careful, but apparently not enough.

Many vaccines get to the point of testing in the human body In large numbers of people, and just don't work.
Testing is another nightmare. I read a report that these quicky tests are not very accurate. They just give a result and the tester can determine if they need to go for a better test. This thing is a mess, and we don't know a lot about it at scale.

You might have already come in contact with it but it has not incubated enough to show up on a test.

One of the big problems we have now is the politicalization of everything regarding this virus. My fb feed is a cross section of people screaming about this viewpoint and that viewpoint and blah blah. My head hurts from all of this.
Another thing is that the quickie tests are not very accurate. These tests need to get to 90-95% accuracy for them to be really useful. 80-85% accuracy isn't "good enough" quite yet.

The quickie tests are actually useful in certain situations. Apparently, when they report a positive result, it is pretty much guaranteed to be positive. The quick tests appear to report false negatives. Medical pros can use a more accurate test if they need to if the patient had symptoms.
