    Presence of organism does not indicate infection or disease. There are a large number of "resident" organisms in the body, and they do not necessarily imply disease or infection. Viral remnants also do not indicate disease.

    Sir, respectfully, that is a very ignorant thing to say. Stop preaching false science. We are in this pandemic because of such negligent talks.

    I feel we must not test many Just presence of an organism does not mena a person is infected. We are doing too much fo testing and thats causing havoc here. Feel its time to restrict testing only people who are having symptoms related to COVID 19, This is my opinion and many may not agree with this.

    Agree.. people with symptoms and his contacts needs to be tested.

    But we have reached complex stage now..
    People are not supposed to travel long distance..
    But people are traveling around.. so more testing is necessary

    Dear ma'am,

    Here are two options:
    1. Be aware of the consequences of the spread of coronavirus and test properly - isolate the ones affected, treat them. In other words, do your duty.
    2. Say stuff like, just having the "organism" (first of all, please google organism - that's a wrong phrase in this context) does not mean no need to test. This is being ultra negligent and talking shit, allowing the virus to spread. In 3 months, we won't be able to do anything - god knows around 200% more people might suffer.

    Take your pick and please stop spreading nonsense. Thanks.
