 On 9/15/20 Doctor Alyssa Moyer, Chair of Wellspan Department of Medicine updated us on the SARS-COVID-2 virus. She spoke to us on February 22 and May 12 at the beginning of the pandemic. We have learned that 40% to 45% of the people with the Virus are asymptomatic and most people who spread the virus are asymptomatic. Dr. Moyer stated that the York County nursing homes are going a great job controlling the Virus while the county prison is currently experiencing a serious outbreak. Testing is the key to controlling the virus. Wellspan is currently doing in-house testing for their staff and first responders. The majority of the tests are done by Quest laboratories and their turnaround time has now improved to 24 hours. Antibody and salvia has not proven as reliable as the nasal squab. But there can never be enough testing.
