More false positives lead to more "cases".
More cases lead to more lockdowns.
And lockdowns lead to suffering.
This is like a Kafka nightmare. Covid is now like a cold. But Biden/Fauci are whipping this into ... another DC spending spree!!! Will lockdowns follow?
Who got the contract ($$$$) for producing MORE Covid-19 tests?
Testing for COVID is very masochistic.
I’ve ordered mine!
Not.
Anything to distract the masses.
Its like they have five buttons in front of them to push:
TRUMP
COVID
WHITE SUPREMACY
THREAT TO DEMOCRACY
RUSSIA!!!!
Meanwhile, Rome burns. Then again, maybe it deserves to if we have gotten to a point where people can ignore their own, real problems in favor of the nonsense manufactured for them.
“Hey, drugs are being pushed on my kids, who are also being groomed and sexualized, while my grocery and gas bill are too high to pay, while Russia is threatening nuclear war, while I am losing my job in favor of the minority hire of the month, while my car just got stolen out of my driveway, the guy got caught but is out on the street two hours later, BUT
OUR DEMOCRACY IS UNDER THREAT!!! I Need to focus on that, whatever it is.”
My last batch expired. They were available through the town and now at the libraries. I’m sure we pre-paid for a bazillion doses....half a bazillion expired...Bet there’s a continuing contract based on existing supply.
Yep. Follow the $$$.
I’m seeing an increase in the use of masks here in the suburbs well outside of Austin. The sheep have bought into it. The country has become a lost cause.
Hey. We are only $40 trillion in debt. Whats a few hundred million here and a hundred million there?
If our government actually gas about the health and welfare of its citizens, it would make ivermectin available otc WITH dosage charts at ALL pharmaceutical outlets.
But it doesn’t and so it won’t.
frogjerk:By testing for COVID you are only asking for totalitarianism.
I have taken the covid home test 5 times. One time I was positive with covid but not real sick, a minor flu. After testing I threw the results in the trash. I got thw test kits from my local health dept. They did not know my name or ask. I take care of my aging parents who live a few blocks away. Do I really want to give them covid?
Before you say I should not be going to see them if I am sick it does not work that way. I am their only caretaker. Yes I did not see them while I had covid until a negative test came up but I have taken care of them while sick myself in the past.
I am not sure how testing myself leads to totalitarism.
Which pharma CEO is he paying off now?
Does it bother anyone that we need food banks or that the Biden seems this is completely acceptable?
PCR is still the best quality test. A lab in Los Angeles reports falling SGTF (S gene target failure) indicating higher positivity hit rates. The lab caters to the Hollywood actors and related trades to ensure COVID is kept out of active productions. Sometimes there is a failure to detect COVID19/RSV/Flu and a broader panel is required to diagnose a sick, symptomatic patient. In some medical facilities, it is policy to NOT do that more comprehensive test. The consequence is a patient leaves without a conclusive diagnosis or treatment plan. Hospitals and insurance companies don't want the extra work and expense.
Unless the tests are updated to detect newer variants, they are likely to be useless. If they are sent out to everyone, they will sit on shelves in people’s homes til needed. Meanwhile the virus mutates and evades the tests. I’d rather get a fresh test kit from a pharmacy.
The ones medicare sent me last year are still in a drawer
Need to toss them, I guess
The acute phase of COVID is like a cold. I had BA.1 with razor blade sore throat, fatigue, malaise, a dizzy spell in the shower, blood in my urine, a persistent post nasal drip and a minor 99.2 "fever". It lasted 10 days. My senior poodle caught it from me. It killed her in 2 days.
It turns out that the virus remains in various organs well after the acute phase is over. Brain MRI tests performed before and after a SARS-CoV-2 infection finds a decrease in grey matter. Ongoing, sub-clinical damage continues. Cognitive tests can detect problems as well. It appears the "jabbed" have far more severe sequelae and are susceptible to multiple infections due to immune system suppression.
A "mild" case doesn't mean it hasn't caused damage or continues to cause damage.
Thanks for the info. I had covid twice and and now I am having memory problems. I am 60 and have had a awesome memory my whole life. Now, not so much. It’s frustrating.
What scares me is that my adult children have had the shot and covid after. What the hell is going to happen to them down the road?
I should clarify my comment - By testing for COVID (not at home) you are only asking for totalitarianism.
I have taken the covid home test 5 times. One time I was positive with covid but not real sick, a minor flu. After testing I threw the results in the trash. I got thw test kits from my local health dept. They did not know my name or ask. I take care of my aging parents who live a few blocks away. Do I really want to give them covid?

What is the difference with you taking care of them in the past when you were sick vs now if you have COVID and are sick? The current strains of COVID are very mild and the real debate is how "dangerous" the original strains of COVID were when all of the absolute stupid "treatments" (venting and preventing treatment of symptoms with other offlabel medication) and preventative methods taken like lockdowns, quarantining the healthy, not allowing the sick to go outside in the sun and the like are really responsible for the large amount of deaths.
