Holy Shit - Elon Musk may have Covid-19, should quarantine during SpaceX astronaut launch Sunday, NA

SpaceX astronaut launch Sunday, NASA says
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/11/13/tech/elon-musk-covid-spacex-nasa-astronauts-scn/index.html

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said on social media last night that he took four Covid-19 tests in one day, two of which were positive and two of which were negative. It's not yet clear if Musk has the virus, but the news immediately drummed up concern about whether a diagnosis will impact SpaceX's plans to launch astronauts on a mission to the International Space Station this weekend.

However, NASA and SpaceX officials at Florida's Kennedy Space Center, the launch site for the mission,
Musk issued a brief series of tweets overnight, stating that he had "mild sniffles," a "cough" and "slight fever" for the past few days. He added that he is expecting to get the results of a PCR test — which are known to be more accurate than the type of rapid test Musk said he took— within 24 hours.
