Pelosi emphasizes importance of testing for coronavirus, admits she has not been tested

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi admitted Thursday that she has not been tested for coronavirus, nor has she been tested for antibodies to determine if she had previously been infected.

Pelosi was asked about her testing status during a weekly press briefing, during which she espoused the significance of widespread testing in helping get the pandemic under control, after 1.7 million people have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and more than 100,000 have died.

"There has to be a stop to this. The answer is testing," Pelosi said. "We have in our HEROES Act a plan for testing. Testing to open up our economy, testing to open up our schools, testing to heal. But in order to heal we have to know the gravity of the problem.”

Testing is a joke.

Up to 20% of the tests throw a false negative or a false positive.

And, just because you tested negative last week, does not mean you did not get infected this week.

What antidote is Nancy taking for the deadly botulinum nerve toxin she’s been injecting into her face for decades?

The entire issue of “testing” is the world’s biggest Red Herring.

The skin on her face is stretched so tight nothing could get through it. The only thing that could get through her kryptonite would be to dump some water on her. “I’m melting! I’m melting! ...”

At least in Texas there is a almost week wait for Covid-19 testing for elderly patients entering rehabilitation, long term care facilities. There is still a shortage of testing for those who actually need it, so if Pelosi is lockdown without symptoms she shouldn’t be taking tests — in fact, if she were it would like political favoritism.

Of course the vile demonic Botoxian hasn’t been tested. There’s no need. Demons don’t contract the virus.
When they likely colluded and paid for the virus release, they also likely purchased the preventative (HCQ). ALL the communists have been probably taking it since before the planned release.
“Plan B” failed too, commies. So what’s up you diabolical sleeves for “Plan C”??? Riots? Assassinations? Inquiring minds would like to know.../s

Yes, testing is a joke.

But, this is like the MSNBC crew caught berating people for not wearing masks when the cameraman was busted not wearing a mask. Same here (I paraphrase):

Nancy - testing is important!
Reporter: Have you been tested?
Nancy - No.
Reporter - Oh.

Brilliant. Just a couple of steps behind Joe, but catching up fast!

Testing = case harvesting = bigger numbers = more fear = longer lockdowns

Pelosi hypocritically calls for corona virus testing but hasn't even been tested herself.

Some guy named Gupta on CNN, calls for federal legislation calling for mandating wearing a mask in public while not wearing a mask himself.

Fauci testifies in Congress about the corona virus without taking his own advice to wear a mask and social distance at least 6 ft. from others.

Leaders lead, not lecture others.

I don't take any advice from people who don't do what they are telling me to do.

No different from these climate change "experts" who don't live their lifestyles in sync with their scolding of the public on global warming.

We had a test site on my way to work, but it was only for people who think they have the virus, which means we are still self-selecting.

Of course, if we let just anybody get tested, the percent positive rates would drop. The whole thing is a bit silly at this point.
