Testing

[fruitsalad]

So if you are tested, for example an NHS worker is tested he/she tests negative, so can go about his/her work, and then does pick up the virus, but doesn't realise they have it they go back home to the family, and round it goes again, will this virus ever fully disappear, testing or no testing.

the short answer No
but our immune systems will build up to repel it better and vaccines will be developed to help

I've heard that there have been some rare cases of some who've had it a second time.

Until the antibody tests are ready for use and we know for sure that the virus cannot be caught a second time, we won't know.

yes it will disappear but not tomorrow
actually after some rather hard work

[Old_Geezer]

If it did disappear tomorrow, how long before we realised ?

Fourteen days, apparently.
