Tests do nothing to stop spread of covid-19.
Because travel of infected millions of people is impossible to stop in a large and mobile country like ours.

Only way any virus dies out is INFECTIONS. 97% covid-19 infections are Asymptomatic meaning mild symptoms and no hospitalization needed. Those 97% acquire short term immunity lasting several months.

Keep spreading Asymptomatic infections and pretty soon virus runs out of people without immunity, and it disappears. Asymptomatic infections work just like a good vaccine. It immunizes the person from future serious infection.

Shutting down any community or isolation of groups of people is the absolute worst thing. Because then you are depriving people to acquire immunity.

Of course the extremely vulnerable group (obese, over 65 old, diabetics, cancer patients etc) are the ONLY people who need to be shuttered up and isolated. Let the rest roam freely, which is 97% of work force, students etc.

I completely understand all that, but I still like seeing the US creep towards number one in the tests per capita.

Bingo! But truth is not the intent here. It has become political with one person in mind--our president. This is the continuing coup against him. The dinosaur press will have to answer for this.

We are here, "truth" has become whatever the media opposition and RATS declare it to be, and moving the goal posts to justify their position. FU Rats.

We are here: “If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute.” Francis Schaeffer, How Shall We Then Live? (Old Tappan NJ: Fleming H Revell Company, 1976), p. 224.
