Dr. Fauci reveals sure signs you have COVID-19 and you’re contagious

[Andy Meek]

• A coronavirus test can reveal the presence of the COVID-19 virus with pretty strong reliability, but there's also one coronavirus test that can be used to determine whether or not a person is contagious with the virus.
• Dr. Fauci says that antigen tests can be used to determine whether a person has enough of a COVID-19 viral load to be contagious to other people.
• The other kind of test, a PCR test, is more accurate and takes longer to get results from.

One of the realities about the coronavirus pandemic we've been hearing so much about since the start of the crisis is the importance of separating ourselves from other people -- maintaining a socially-distanced 6 feet in public, for example -- because of the fact that COVID-19 can be spread by asymptomatic carriers. It's one of the strangest realities, in fact, that's associated with this destructive pathogen, the fact that the chasm between people at both extremes of the disease is so wide.

A coronavirus test reveals the presence of COVID-19, but it doesn't explain why some people get infected with the virus and don't appear to show any symptoms whatsoever. Other people, meanwhile, get infected and the virus utterly wrecks their body to the point of requiring a hospital stay -- or, worse, ending in the patient's death. This brings up an intriguing and potentially life-saving question: Is there a way to know if you're contagious with COVID-19?
