Your personal attacks toward me and the field of medicine are duly noted, and personal attacks toward FReepers are contrary to FR forum guidelines. Personal attacks toward me do not make your arguments stronger or more valid. You should already know this.

That said, testing for influenza historically and currently occurs only in symptomatic patients with respiratory/myalgia/fatigue complaints. CoV testing has been encouraged by the government wonks for all people, symptomatic or not. Widespread CoV testing was intended in the early stages of the pandemic to obtain a baseline for population penetration. Today, I can't think of a reason for widespread CoV testing of the asymptomatic general population.

Influenza is less contagious than CoV. This was recognized in the early stages of the CoV pandemic a year ago. It is still true today. Efforts to mitigate CoV spread have been remarkably successful for tamping down the spread of influenza this season.

You know I believe the entire reason for so many being outraged over the handling of this China Virus is the use of it to control us. There was no necessity to lock down at all and no reason to shut down schools. We knew almost from the beginning who was most susceptible and we had the tools at hand to deal with it.

The CV disaster was completely political and because of this hundreds of thousands of people owning small businesses have lost those businesses because after being forced to close they will never again be able to open successfully

The Left wrecked a world economy simply to rid themselves of ONE man who spoke the truth and tried to inform us of their self dealing and lust for power at the expense of everyone else.

“Efforts to mitigate CoV spread have been remarkably successful for tamping down the spread of influenza this season.”


And yet WHOLLY-INEFFECTIVE at tamping down the spread of SARS-CoV-2.

I’ll leave your other idiotic comments to percolate on their own, “M&M”.
