I do know both nostrils had to be swabbed for this particular testing I referenced. Beyond that, I dunno who did the testing, if it was a state lab or Quest or some other private company that ran them.
This data does seem to raise an issue about testing in the sports context. If a guy on a team tests positive, and then the rest of the team is tested and negative on Day 1, some guys might test positive on Day 2, after practicing or playing a game that will have led to transmission to teammates or opponents.
My assumption at the moment is sports will start up in August and be forced to shut down in September. This is why it behooves the NBA, NHL And MLS to find a way to quickly have their post season in July/August. I believe MLB, NFL, NCAA, and college campuses are gonna have the worst time of it.
This is based on the notion we shut things down for two+ months, so in two+ months all the time we bought will be up and the next wave will be worse because the virus is already seeded everywhere, when this was not the case when the outbreak and shutdowns started.
