How or why did she get a test if she’s asymptomatic?

She's probably now showing the signs of Covid-19 so she was tested. 

 

Edit: Based on this article, she would have been at her most contagious "during the period before they have symptoms." 

 

"In addition, a study (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0869-5) published about the same time reported that people might be most contagious during the period before they have symptoms.

 

“Of those of us that get symptomatic, it appears that we’re shedding significant virus in our oropharyngeal compartment, probably up to 48 hours before we show symptoms,” Redfield said. “This helps explain how rapidly this virus continues to spread across the country because we have asymptomatic transmitters.”"

Coronavirus Updates
 

The latest

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention added six symptoms to its covid-19 list, suggesting health experts are learning more about the growing number of ways physicians see the virus affecting patients. Issues that could appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus are:

 

  • Chills
  • Repeated shaking with chills
  • Muscle pain
  • Headache
  • Sore throat
  • New loss of taste or smell

 

That last one sounds like corresponding accounts of it affecting the nervous system.

Unfortunately as this goes on, I expect suicide #'s to rise. A lot of people are reaching the breaking point.

 

It feels even more hopeless when it seems like no one really cares if you dropped dead right in front of them.
