I see a bunch of numbers of `confirmed positive tests results` on the Island for Covid-19 reported in the Island press, but never do I read that of those who tested positive how sick they are or if they have symptoms or not.

One person that we personally know was flown off some time back because they had symptoms big time and we didn’t find out until yesterday. We pretty much assumed they were just home self quarantining for 14 days.

I think that would be very helpful information not only for us but especially for those who are no mask warriors and those who could care less about social distancing. They might see the seriousness of this invisible enemy. We are now in the red category and can’t get much higher than that.

Do those who test positive have no symptoms, minor symptoms or serious symptoms?

Just wondering why that information is not included in their reporting.
