Asymptomatic spread and airborne virus is absolute bullshit. Virus and flu didn’t suddenly change its MO. Spread is the same as always. Sick person coughs in your face or on surface and you ingest virus particles by rubbing cough crap into your eyes or mouth. Viral load matters. They have to be sick (lots of viral particles). The molecular test on asymptomatic patients would not show the virus can replicate, and in fact, that the patient is asymptomatic implies the RNA is not replicating.

I know WTF - and WhoTF are these thousands of people getting into mile-long lines to get infected by the state. It's a sad sad indicator that too many people blindly and willingly tow the line for their government overlords. WWWWWWTTTTTFFFF!!!

They are forcing my wife to be tested in order to give birth at the hospital. What should I do?

Say no and show up when she's in labor. They won't turn her away.

need a big sample for tests to detect it

Because ambient air doesn't contain antibodies

which is what they are testing for
If they test for RNA fragments, using a PCR (rna/dna fragment mass copy duplicator), then the results are scientifically meaningless and the test is invalid
why? Because RNA fragments are NOT a virus, and rna fragments in the coronavirus are also in hiv, and many other retroviruses. You could have fragments floating around and have several different, related viruses (such as other human coronaviruses, even sars (SARS-1) for example, and not have SARS-CoV-2 (COVID19 / 'the corona' or 'rona')

And they can't test your genome (dna sequence) because though coronavirus is an RNA virus as is HIV, unlike HIV it's not a retrovirus and therefore doesn't write itself into your DNA.
My point is that it's harder to accurately test for COVID19 than HIV and others

President Trump explained how his last maybe latest Q-tip tests are simple, painless, quicker!
He offered that test to all Governors of every state and seems All State Governors choose not to use them!!
WHY???
We the People should be raising cain for them!!!
