quote of the day
A surge in the number of patients since the start of this month has caused confusion at medical institutions. I'm worried we may see a rise in the number of people wishing to undergo testing, suspecting that they may have been infected with the new coronavirus.

Confusion...why? Confusion because the powers that be finally realized the Olympics weren't happening anymore then did a 180 to take COVID-19 seriously?

Sooner or later, all citizens of no symptom should be tested. Carriers living normally to infect other is not carriers fault, it's the authority lack of organizing. I'd like to be tested, with a condition how I would be tested not infecting others if I'm a carrier. This is very important point.
