Who wants to stop all this testing?

[Rambunctious]

All who voted yes are morons

Why?

We already assume everyone has the virus (lockdown/muzzle mandates). No need to test for it unless you are sick, right?

Why are you a moron? Because you don’t understand basic things even after they are explained to you. That’s why

Maybe you suck hyena taint when it comes to explaining things?

If everyone is considered a carrier of the virus (like they are now) the only reason to test is to assess proper treatment protocols for people who are actually symptomatic.

So, why don't you explain to me why my position is wrong, and fuck off with your insults.

Saying everybody is a carrier of the virus is something that you made up in your fantasyland. Not something that is real. Another supporting fact of your moronism

You've got piss poor reading comprehension. Dude didn't say everybody is a carrier. He said everybody is CONSIDERED a carrier. That is absolutely true. The reason for universal lockdown policies is that even asymptomatic people can spread covid, which means that everybody has to be treated as a viral threat. Another way of saying that is that everybody has to be considered as someone who might right now be viral. And yet another way of saying that is that everybody has to be, and therefore is, considered a carrier of the virus, and therefore everybody has to lock down.

So the question is valid. If everybody has to be locked down anyway, why bother testing people who aren't symptomatic? So that you can proudly tell them that it's a good thing they stayed home, and that maybe they shouldn't have travelled out just to get tested for something that clearly isn't bothering them?

Jesus, what’s wrong with you people. Being cautious and treating everybody as POSSIBLE carriers is very different than the isolation/quarantine that KNOWN CARRIERS, would undertake. When somebody tests positive they can isolate to a higher degree as we have done during the shut down and contact tracing can be performed so people they were exposed to can be tested and isolate as well.

One is a safety precaution and the other is direct treatment/action

KNOWN CARRIERS?????.....View attachment 361371

Now that is changing the subject moron....

Agreed... haha

Ha ha ha...lol

Obviously we have to keep testing.

What we also have to do, however, is make sure testing is being reported accurately without fail.

I read an article yesterday indicating that some groups in Florida were not reporting negative tests, only positives, which was impacting the positive % data, which is a critical metric to assess community spread.

Maybe true, maybe not, and I haven't seen this reported elsewhere to this point yet, although they did have examples of what they were reporting.

COVID test positivity is not a meaningful statistic because not all negatives are reported - Alachua Chronicle

The percentage of positive COVID tests has increased dramatically in Alachua County and in Florida, and we now have evidence that this percentage is misleading at best.

alachuachronicle.com

The data has to be right. It's our eyes right now. If people are playing with the numbers in either direction that is a serious cause for concern.

Because the entire thing is being politicized. Duh

Everything the left touches turns political...from Gayness to Covid and everything in between...the only reason they get away with it is because of dummies like you....and moron media hacks that never took a hard class in school or worked a day in their little insignificant lives.....

Oh now we are talking about the Left and Gayness?! Ok. This thing got political because Trump didn’t want the disease to hurt his election. Plain and simple. He downplayed it in the beginning, hasn’t lead through it all, doesn’t support his admins safety recs, and is pushing actions that are now leading to more infections and death. It’s politics and it’s costing lives

 

[Flash]

Florida is showing a lot of new cases because we are doing a tremendous amount of testing.

However, our death numbers are very low. Like 1/10th that of New York with about the same population.

How many people do you know that have covid?.....

6. Why are you changing the subject?

Because I can......

You can do whatever you want... but your choice to change the subject highlights your inability to argue the topic. That’s a white flag move... Just sayin

How was asking if anyone knew someone with covid changing the subject of the thread titled.....
Who wants to stop all this testing?
Are you retarded or what?....

The fact that you’re asking how your off topic question is off topic explains it all.

It's not off topic to ask about covid infections in a covid testing thread...would you like to run it by a moderator dummy?....

And why is COVID-19 talk happening in the Politics forum?

Because the entire thing is being politicized. Duh

Because Trump politicized it when he said no testing to show infection numbers because it was bad for him politically.

Corvid was gonna affect his job performance numbers because he's the potus, but his actions caused the poll numbers to go how they went.

Because the left leaning cable news outlets report coronavirus outbreaks wherever a Donald John Trump reelection rally is held or a church reopens? But not once where a mass mob has gathered to loot, riot and kill? Got it. Then again, all I hear or see are democrats whining about how COVID is not a political event. And still, they create threads to further politicize the virus. Doh!

I’m not politicizing the virus I’m shaming the idiot deniers that care more about Trumps poll numbers than properly reacting to a pandemic

 

[Rambunctious]

Test people with symptoms or those that were in contact with infected people and places....or folks that need a clear test for work...and that's all...this rush to test everyone is slowing down testing and overtaxing our labs....

Sum of the entire thread, folks: Trump did it. /end it.

Testing for the sake of testing is illogical, might as well test for AIDS, FLU, CANCER, while you are at it.....

Tests are normally done for symptoms that already exist.

Well we have a pandemic and highly contagious disease that shows and spreads asymptomatically. You know that right?

It was NEVER a Pandemic, try reading the definition next time, otherwise you will have to say the flu season is pandemic every year..... as per your delusion.....

Then do it already. You are in my thread and haven’t made a case yet for why it’s better to stop testing.

I don't see any profit in reporting the results on the radio every 30 minutes. If someone's medical doctor has reviewed the patient's conditions and determines the information from a COVID test would be useful in determining their treatment plan- they should have it.

If not, they shouldn't have it.

You don’t see value in identifying positive cases so those people can isolate and stop spreading the disease?

You don't see corpses stacked like cords of firewood in the streets so . . . survey says, "no!"

You don’t remember seeing portable trailers for stacking bodies outside hospitals in NY a few months ago? Have you seen the hospital capacity in Florida and Texas right now? Wake the fuck up.

Wrong answer. IF COVID was universally killing Americans coast to coast, then the bodies would be stacked high in every fucking community in our nation. Living just north of Baltimore we definitely would have seen beaucoup death in real-time, not to mention the funeral home we pass daily on our way into town never, not ever, not once appeared to be overwhelmed, nor did the hospital ER parking lot right beside it. Or are you telling us COVID deaths only happened in one major American city?

Hoax (noun)
Something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage.

No moron that’s not how it works. Learn a little about outbreaks before you say idiotic things like that. Here is a hint, focus on the word “hotspots”

A month ago it took less than an afternoon to get covid results...today due to everyone being tested the wait time is 5 days...and that's a huge problem because people won't stay indoors for 5 days when they feel fine....

Nothing's wrong with me, I'm just pointing out that you obviously didn't understand what you were reading. Personally, if more testing means smarter, targeted lockdowns, I'm all for it. Given the level of nuance demonstrated by a lot of these governers thus far, I ain't exactly holding my breath, though. Your hypothetical arrangement strikes me as some overly optimistic apologetics, tbh.

Also, fuck contact tracing. I'm not sure what sort of mortality rate we'd have to deal with before I'd sign off on letting the people in power make it mandatory that we carry tracking devices at all times, but <1% sure AF ain't it, Chief. Maybe you want mommy and daddy government to keep you warm and cuddly and make the bad sniffles go away, but I'm not down to give up my privacy rights to ease your panic.

I understood exactly what captain moron was saying... if everybody is an assumed carrier then what’s the need for testing... that is a garbage arguement and if I need to further explain to you why then I’m sorry to say that you're the first mate.

Contact tracing can be as simple as “Shit, I tested positive... Susie, cancel all plans, I’m going off grid for the next two weeks. Hey friends and family who I’ve seen lately... I’m positive, you should get tested.”
