More "testing" leads to more false positives.

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?

By testing for COVID you are only asking for totalitarianism.

Testing for COVID is very masochistic.

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.

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.

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.

Complimentary tests will also be available at major food banks, according to a White House statement.

Does it bother anyone that we need food banks or that the Biden seems this is completely acceptable?

The "free" kits are not particularly sensitive and lack updated guidance about swabbing buccal oral mucosa where current variants are found in much higher concentration than the "nasal" targets. Also omitted is the recommendation to leave the swab in the buffer fluid for over 1 minute before squeezing drops onto the end of the LFT test card.

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.

Thank you for referencing that article lighten. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

"Biden Administration Restarts Distribution of Free COVID-19 Virus At-Home Test Kits"


FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

I had previously understood that there was no reliable test for CV19.

Has that changed?

The following list is not intended to be complete.
