Advice on telling my senior manager that her decision to go get tested for corona “just to make sure” is truly the one thing that every citizen should refrain from unless experiencing major symptoms?

You are completely right but I’d keep your mouth shut and simply remind her to practice social distancing and wash her hands!

Agree with EY2. The problem is you could have coronavirus even without major symptoms and honestly the socially responsible thing (especially if you’re quarantined with high risk people) is to get tested. What you guys are suggesting is actually the irresponsible thing to do. Not the SM’s fault the US didn’t take Covid-19 seriously and now doesn’t have enough testing kits.

EY2: the 14-day quarantine should be before you even show symptoms. The reason why it’s important to get tested is because some people who might not show symptoms or show mild symptoms could be carriers without knowing but are spreading it to other people. I don’t see that people are quarantining even now lol. Which is why we’re still on that exponential curve of people getting infected in the US.

Read up on Iceland and Vo, Italy. While she may have only been thinking of herself, in general it helps for as many people to get tested as we can. It helps to stop the spread of the virus from those who experience no symptoms

You’re basically saying only the people who get tested and have coronavirus aren’t wasting valuable time and resources, but you can’t always figure out who has it unless you get tested. So...not sure why it’s a big deal that people want to make sure they’re not carriers.

And I don’t know this for sure because I don’t work in medical field, but if someone has flu-like symptoms I think the docs would make sure they check in frequently to make sure they don’t need any treatments. The tests aren’t for people who are already sick (who would need medication, ventilators, and to be quarantined), it’s to make sure people who are carriers know they shouldn’t be out and about like a normal person...

Perhaps an extra measure of grace should be our guidon here. This is unprecedented and people are doing the best they can.

I had all the symptoms went to the doctor and they didn’t even offer me the option of a test. People aren’t aware how hard it is to actually get a test. You basically have to be admitted to the hospital and dying is what I was told by my doctor.

Maybe she can wait a few weeks until more tests are available.

Not your circus, not your monkey. Who cares what she does

No one is getting tested without an order from a doctor, and it's hard to get an order. If she gets tested, it's because a Dr thinks she should.

Hi tax 🐠,

I have a question for those who prep individual tax returns. My parents claim my grandfather as a dependent on their tax return and due to their low income, receive PTC for the premiums they pay on his insurance (not eligible for medicare). However, would it be advantageous to have him file for his own tax return (he stays with my parents and doesn't have his own proof of residency via bills). If so, can he get PTC if his income is 0?
