17. There is very little evidence supporting the alleged danger of “asymptomatic transmission”. In June 2020, Dr Maria Van Kerkhove, head of the WHO’s emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, said:

From the data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual,”

A meta-analysis of Covid studies, published by Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in December 2020, found that asymptomatic carriers had a less than 1% chance of infecting people within their household. Another study, done on influenza in 2009, found:

…limited evidence to suggest the importance of [asymptomatic] transmission. The role of asymptomatic or presymptomatic influenza-infected individuals in disease transmission may have been overestimated…”

Wife got it, got sick, and confirmed with at home test. Then I got it. Classic symptoms including lost of taste, etc., but we were never in any danger. Stayed home, got better, and now its over without any need to go to the hospital.

The flooding of the hospitals by asymptomatic/mildly sick people is real, and it's happening because of the panic about Covid that's been promoted by the left for a year and a half.

You reap what you sow.

People are driven by the media panic porn

Why in the world would you want a nose swab if you don’t have symptoms?

With out symptoms and/or having been in close proximity of one who is infected, there is no reason to take the test.

It seems that the narrative pushed is to take the test regardless. And doing so gives a false sense of security.

All that a negative test tells you is that at the moment the sample is taken, you are negative. A moment later, you could be exposed and infected.

Yet governments are pushing testing, testing, testing.

Some one is getting rich selling this false security.

people can’t travel/cruise without a negative test, and they need a negative test to start work or return to work after a sick absence, or testing in lieu of vaccination, so limiting testing doesn’t solve a problem, it just creates another one

This is what Dr Scott Atlas recommended when he was hired to work as Trump's adviser and sit with Fauci, Birx, Pence et. al., on the Task Force that set Covid policy: mandates, lockdowns, over-testing. Sadly, Dr Atlas was overruled by those who actually run this country, the civil servants. His book, “A Plague on Our House”, tells what was happening behind the scenes pre-election 2020. One of the best books on modern politics I've read. Perhaps it will sit next to “Field of Fight” and “Compromised”.

“Yet governments are pushing testing, testing, testing.”

How did Obama do away with the H1N1 virus early in his presidency? Did away with testing. No more testing. No fuel for the media fire.

Too bad! Too late! We now have no choice in the matter. If we’re not going to take the devil jab, we have to go and get tested every single week, regardless of whether we have had the disease or not, regardless of whether we have any symptoms or not. Federally mandated. OSHA won. Do not expect the Supreme Court to protect us. They want exactly what the rest of the government wants, what the World Economic Forum wants: the destruction of individual rights. You will own nothing and get tested weekly or take the jab. I hate this world.

I can’t believe people are saying that DeSantis had a bad case of covid, just because he can’t breathe in a press conference. That could happen for any number of reasons. He could have serious asthma, or a lung disorder of some other kind. Could be anything.

I’ve never been tested... I suspect most people being tested repeatedly are democrat hysterics...

Meanwhile, NYS has been counting asymptomatics, probables, and repeat positives of the same patient as new cases all along...

Lots of valid reasons to get tested... very few valid reasons to be tested 40 or 50 times...
