If you test negative you could get the disease the next minute. The only way out of this is just to return to normal. Cold Turkey. End the lockdown. We should never have gone down this path in the first place.

No, testing is not the way out; it’s a way of further control and regimentation of the population.

Herd immunity is the way out; either everyone gets it, or else there are vaccine(s) made available.

But there should be no further “tracking” of people who are “suspect”, or “safe”, nor monitoring of everyone’s movements.

Grown adults, who are most at risk, are capable of handling their own health needs.

Yeah, simple. Get the hell out of our way, all of you Stalinist wannabes. And that goes for Soros goon Fauci especially.

criminals are NOT released historically.

“Whatever mayors, governors, or presidents might say, we cannot restart the economy as long as people are too frightened to resume working, shopping, and socializing.”

Nonsense. Give employers the ability to fire the shiftless who won’t go back to work, give landlords the ability to evict those who won’t pay rent, and give schools the ability to fail students who don’t show up, people will come out of their holes.

Testing is just another way to string people along: “We can only get out of this if there is testing...gosh, testing isn’t working, we’ll need to continue this unconstitutional power grab.”

Testing for antibodies should be helpful. If you have antibodies, you’re good to go; as you were.

Testing for positive or negative accomplishes very little. Are we going to test every day?

I believe the goal all along has been the destruction of our economy. Why else would travel have been openly bias towards export of the virus?

The Communist Chinese were, and are up against a brick wall in the form of our President. They believed an all out assault on our economy to be the only recourse they had to continue their plans to dominate the World. Getting us to vote out PDJT is their goal. They blew it so far.

The testing is the trap. It’s the perfect obstruction tool for the rats. There will never be enough, it will never be finished and the more you do the more cases you find and keep the curve from dropping. Yes it does make the mortality drop but that is easily buried onto page 3.

100% correct, testing gains us nothing.

It’s a heck of a make work program. To test 20 million a day you’re probably talking employing 2 or 3 million people. Won’t be meaningful though. Even at 20 million a day you’re talking over 2 weeks to test the whole country, so by the time you reach the end the first wave of tests are meaningless.

The way out of this is to acknowledge colds do colds are gonna do. People are gonna die. It’s gonna be sad.

Exactly right. These governors are monsters.

HCQ availability: the way out of this DNC/Xi collusion trap.

Note that mostly Democrat governors are denying access to HCQ.

Coincidence?

I think not. Condsider the phony China "studies" saying HCQ is worthless, and couple that with the zealous diligence of the Democrat governors in denying access to HCQ treatments.

A suspicious person might say that the DNC, its Media and Xi's government are coordinating in this effort.

My thought is to have antigen testing in zip codes near the hot spots.

Massive scale at first glance - but doable. Do the zip code around the rest home in WA where things kicked off in a big way and two or three more in manageable suburbs around the country.

Every WalMart and Big Box store in the zip code would have multiple test stations and people to direct traffic into testing lanes. You have ID with that zip code you get tested. Don’t drive? Have a walk up station for those who get off a buss.

Logistics would require proper planning so Federalize the Guard in those states. Only need medical people at the stations themselves. Regular troops can control and direct traffic.

Just my opinion of course.

Where does one get tested?

And if someone in NYC gets tested and learns that they are infected, how do they get home?

(Who gets the risk of infection: The Uber driver? The family member or neighbor who drives into town to pick them up? The person in the next seat on the bus? The crowd in the subway car?)

Mona Charen giving medical advice is like Maxine Waters giving a lecture on quantum physics.

What the hell is the purpose of testing 20 million people every day -- when the test results are out of date the minute after the subject is tested?
