Another expert us a dime a dozen and they don’t know Jack Shat.
You will get the vaccine or put you on a train. Who said there will ever be vaccine?

Does it really seem like that should be the impossibility that it is right now? I think it's crazy that if the NFL wanted to buy 1000 machines and fund testing for teams and everyone entering stadiums, they couldn't do it. Trump has always been an out of the box thinker. Capable of getting anything conceivable done. Well this ain't a rocket to the moon and it just might really come back to haunt us that it is not nearly the priority that it should be.
You test negative and end up getting it the day after test this testing BS makes no sense to me!!
I’m going to the grocery w/o testing, are you kidding?!
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Let me guess. You have no elderly people or anyone that will be close to you who would be in danger if you brought the virus home.
DITTO, what is happening in our country is far more dangerous than the damn virus!!!
I am taking care of my 90 year old mom and live my life as I normally do, except washing my hands constantly this has become total BS!!
You test negative and end up getting it the day after test this testing BS makes no sense to me!!

There is the scariest part of this whole nightmare. We have become a nation (and a website) of many who find reasons not to do things that would benefit us rather than overcoming and finding a solution on how to make it work.
They have vaccines for the flu and damn near every year the vaccine is the wrong strain, there is NO vaccine for HIV hey Fauci this was you #1 project where the hell is the vaccine??
NO what we have become is a nation of SNOWFLAKES we know who this virus is dangerous for YET everyone is in a fetal position ratting on their neighbors for playing with their kids in their front yard!! Pitiful this is certainly NOT the greatest generation and far from it!!!
Sure, my husband and my mother and since I’ve had my boobs lopped off—it’s probably not good for me to catch, either.
No, I’m not testing unless I have symptoms.
Does your mother go out?
Do you live in a state that has many infections?
I take care of my 85 year old mother just outside of Boston. When do you suggest I take her to a restaurant? A grocery store? Do any of the things she used to do? Knowing that for the elderly the virus is close to a death sentence.
Would you have the same answers if those dying were children 5-10 years old? When would we be allowing kids to go to daycare, middle school, if there was a good chance if they got this virus they die? Well, are the lives of the elderly less valuable than the young or middle aged?
I’d guess testing would be taken a hell of a lot more seriously if it was young children dying rather than the elderly.
No, I’m not testing unless I have symptoms.

Maybe you miss the bigger point. It’s knowing that you are in a store, restaurant, etc. where you know everyone is negative that is the best part of testing. Knowing that you won’t inadvertently bring it home to a loved one.
And you didn’t answer if you live in a high risk state. It’s easy to say you would casually go out or take out an elderly loved one if there is basically no risk. But states with a lot of infections need testing everywhere in order to safely open up.
I live in CA. and this state should NEVER have been shut down, NY is a completely different animal than the rest of the country!! Washington State has VERY LOW numbers even after the hysteria created by the MSM!!
Thousands of elderly die of the flu every year YET no hysteria no shutting the entire country down!!
Sounds like a very bleak future, mandatory testing or some variation of the same.
I take reasonable precautions.
I don’t go into packed places and I didn’t before this virus. A few years back, I started carrying wipes and sanitizer with me.
I could feel soooo good, going to eat at a restaurant full of people who have tested negative, and then leave to go home, and we are wiped out in a car wreck.
There are no promises on length of life, and so I prefer to live what I have (this moment) to the fullest, and how I like it. Maximum freedom is what I love better than any pretense of security.
Still didn’t say what state you live in and if there are a lot of cases.
I think I know why.
And, by the way, I agree that if you were in a state with little risk you can do what you want. But I’m in Massachusetts. There’s a lot of cases here. And I want testing everywhere because I don’t want my precious mother’s last few years to be in basically a prison cell. And most importantly it’s doable if we just had the attitude that United States used to have that there’s nothing that we cannot get accomplished if we put our minds to it. The same attitude that built Donald Trump many of his skyscrapers.
15,000 plus cases and 300 plus deaths.
I’m retired for one so I’m not looking for a job.
Two I wouldn’t bend over for any government mandated BS testing... It would never end and you’d be tested every time you went out of your house to any store, beach, park, game, concert etc. This particular “flu” will probably be around for years or another one like will pop up eventually. Where does it stop? You allow this now then you may as well give up all your rights and submit. May as well get a lobotomy while you’re at it.
Want to end the quarantine? Herd immunity will solve the problem.
