'Trust the experts. Trust science'.

Which experts should we trust? The experts at the CDC or the experts who criticize the CDC?

Their advice changes substantially every few weeks. Know whose never changes?
The only consistent and good advice is to wash your hands, but twenty seconds isn’t what I call a good hand wash.

You dare to question the experts? I shall need to report you to the proper authorities.

It’s not a matter of trusting science, it’s a matter of picking which “scientist” to follow, as science — at least in the public sector — has devolved into “opinion” ... a form of “political science” or “social science” which both are quite meaningless when it comes to “science”.

All these tests for healthy people are a scam to get travel wavers etc. It clogs up labs that are needed for important annual testing.

A lot of good people bit hard on this virus hoax. It was rightfully seen early on as a threat. Now, it is obvious that the real threat is the response to it. Anyone still all-in on this thing is malicious or so neurotic that they need help. It’s a flu that is dangerous to people who are really old and/or really fat and/or otherwise sick. It is not very dangerous for anyone else. It’s like all the other flus that we didn’t destroy our civilization for. This is a political matter that is being used to get the #badorangeman and to persecute those who would support him.

Government is always inefficient and frequently incompetent. Why are these people in CDC presumed to be all-knowing? With this horrible advice which discourages testing and identification of those infected, are they not fueling the transmission of this virus? Isn’t this exactly the opposite of what needs to be done to finally get control of this, or do they want to keep the shutdowns going??

Inquiring minds would like to know. If I were the president, I would fire everybody and start over with trusted people. Fauci, Birx, and all the rest need to go right now.

The move drew widespread criticism and confusion from public health experts...

The question is... did twitter ban their accounts for disagreeing with the CDC?

THIS IS HOW ALL DISEASES ARE TREATED

You can’t test every person, for everything.

ONLY symptomatic people usually present themselves for care.

It is nearly impossible to tell how many people had a virus that never made them sick.

That is why the death rate for any disease is usually calculated as (number dead)/(number with symptoms)

(that’s divided by)

Honest question...

What kind is study would determine that an asymptomatic can still transmit the virus?

If asymptomatic’s don’t need test, then don’t need to wear mask, don’t need vaccine!

Yep. Science is based on inductive reasoning. It is rarely metaphysical certitude.

I read the new CDC guidelines to say:

Don’t get tested. Wait until you are so sick you need to be hospitalized.

“Asymptomatic” traditionally means you are infected but have no symptoms.

Without a test, how can you tell if you are healthy or infected with no symptoms?

I’m not getting tested or traced unless I am sick enough to go to the hospital and they force me to.

Heh.

I as going to say I thought CDC was the experts. Not that I really thought that, just sayin'.

So big news in the state of Maine is "60 cases of COVID traced to a wedding reception in Millinocket."

Separate report is that entire state has a total of eight (8) people currently hospitalized with COVID (not necessarily because of), out of 452 cases.

And we are still required to wear masks and restrict activity, social distance, and all the other control freak garbage.

There are young people who have been scarred for life over this. Fear of dying is powerful, and of course the government abuses every trust ever given to it.

If this is the most dangerous and infectious and deadly virus ever in all history of mankind then why do we need testing??
