Odd...it used to be that civil liberties were raped under the lie of "it's for the children." Now it is in the name of Public Health. I guess the statists feel "it's for the children" is no longer weaponizable. Maybe they're projecting.
In December of 2020, I tested positive for Covid, and spent 7 days quarantining at home (actually Day 14 of getting Covid, but I was asymptomatic for a week). By Day 7 after the positive test, I felt great, knew the Covid was gone and wanted to go back to work, so I went to a for profit, taxpayer funded drivethrough mass testing center.
Waited 3 days for the result, and they were positive. No F-ing way I still had Covid. (Probably super high cycle PCR threshold so they could increase the amount of positives... for the cash...More positives mean more re-tests)
So 2 days later I go to my doctor to get tested again, negative.
4 days after the mass test result (14 days after I tested positive for Covid, 21 days from when my co-worker gave me Covid, a “Contact Tracer” calls me. I basically told her to F-off.
