democrat and republican leadership being put to the test !

[Ray From Cleveland]

Economies will do well at the outset. It’s like opening day of baseball season. Sell out crowds. Then in June...you have much smaller crowds.
Testing would show us if reopening the economies contributed to the virus spreading. Which is why republicant’s oppose it; it would be bad news for the blob.

The Republicans are opposing testing? Since when?

The republicans who I’ve discussed the topic with.

Wait a minute, we are both on this thing quite a bit. How is it you talked with Republicans who opposed testing and I never seen one post like that?

What reason would anybody have for opposing tests?

We overreacted

In a "bad year" for the flu, between 50,000 and 100,000 Americans die from the virus. I'm willing to bet that by the end of this year, roughly the same number of people will have died from this virus. And I'm also willing to bet that there's zero difference in either the total per capita number...

Okaaaaay. Where is the argument not to have testing?

“ I don't think testing helps here.”

Testing "not helping here" is not the same as objecting to tests. His point is valid. If I test okay today, and I get the virus tomorrow, what good did the testing do?

It would tell you that you have the virus and that you should probably self quarrantine so you don't infect anyone.

Of course you do, but what does that comment have to do with what I said?

It explains the value of testing.

That's not what we were debating. Your original claim is that Republicans here on USMB were against testing. The evidence of your claim showed nothing of the sort. Somebody merely said that testing would likely be fruitless.

The virus has killed 50K Americans. It would be fruitful to know if you have it so you don’t pass it on to your loved ones. Blob supporters are the only people on the planet that wouldn’t want to know apparently.

Okay, so I get tested today, and I'm negative. I go out shopping and pick it up two days later. What good did it do me knowing I didn't have it at the time? That's not a solution unless we test every
American on the exact same day, and of course, that can't be done.

What would help is if we had antibody tests for everybody. Those people would be able to carry on with their lives as normal, and hopefully donate blood for infusions in critical patients. Then eventually for healthcare workers and first responders.

so why screen for cancer, high blood pressure, or STDs? You can always develop them later. As Well as catching a virus.

your logic is flawed

You screen for those things to get treatment if you do have any of them. The sooner you treat cancer, the better chance at survival. Same holds true for Covid, but unlike STD's, blood pressure or cancer, you can't give it to other people simply by being near them.

Which is all the more reason to see if you have Covid. You can give it to someone else without knowing you have it.

As long as political party is more important than doing the right thing insanity will rule.

with the shutdown of states do to covid 19 for the pat weeks many states are starting to phase in [phase one] reopening their economies [mostly republican governors] while democrat governors are throwing people in jail for being outside [even in states with comparably low infections rates] ! if these states led by republicans can successfully restart their economies without a surge in covid deaths we can expect to see more protests against dem leaders in states still shut down !

It's all experimental no matter who does what. There is no right or wrong way because not only have we never had something like this before, we have no experience in how to deal with it. So to me, it's not really about leadership, it's about flipping a coin.

I for one think we are rushing it a bit. If we had many more antibody tests, N-95 masks, hand sanitizer no matter where you go, then it might prove successful by allowing those people with no ability to catch this thing go to work, to the store, in public places with others who also tested negative. For people susceptible, wear the masks, maintain social distancing. For people who have medical conditions where the virus can prove deadly, stay at home as much as possible.

in my opinion in states starting to reopen [phase one] people going to ork or patrons should be required to wear a mask . even if its a homemade one .

The problem is will people listen? I've talked to people here and at home about what happened when they went to the store. They said it was mobbed, no social distancing, only half of the people wore masks and so on. The stimulus money did exactly what it was supposed to do.

we have to make a trial run somewhere to see if we are over the curve in some areas ... unfortunately it may be the only way to see if and when we can reopen the economy .

Have a trump rally. Thousands of salivating sweaty obese morons standing jowl to muffintop. Have the blob shake hooves with everyone of them and see what happens.

I recommend Texas

and while were doing that dems can have an event that draws more dems than any other event ..... a gay pride parade where left wing faggots like you stand close together in ridiculous outfits !
