Who wants to stop all this testing?

Who wants to stop testing because they think it’s only inflating the numbers of COVID cases?

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 are the hospitals doing in Florida?


A lot better than the hospitals did in Democrat controlled New York, especially the ones run by the government. Ten times as many deaths.

Democrats fuck up everything they touch, don't they?

Florida would have minimal cases had it not been for the New York filth that came down to infect the state.
 
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
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.
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.”
Voluntary, self-conducted contact tracing? I'm obviously not opposed to that, though I would've thought that doing this would go without saying in the first place, and I'm pretty sure you're approximately the only person using the term to signify anything other than a top down mandate to be performed by a third party.

Sounds like you’re avoiding the question. I’ve heard that many Florida hospitals are reaching capacity. Are you going to challenge that point?
 
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....
Sounds like we have some problems with our testing system. Should get immediate results. Need to fix that shit, right?
And if the only realistic fix turns out to be less stress on the existing test supply?

I’m saying that the actions I just laid out. Getting tested, isolating of positive, informing those you’ve been in contact with so they can do the same.... these are responsible actions that actually make difference.

pushing for no testing, no masks, back to normal reopenings... this is why everything is going to shit again. It’s why I’m calling these people morons. Do you agree?

Check your reading comprehension skills, moron.
Checked... I’m good
No, you're not. You failed miserably.

When I just showed her your post, my 5 year old daughter pointed out your mistake within seconds.

Then that’s what we would have to do while putting energy and effort into fixing the problems and making the most out of what we can do. Thus far we have not gotten that messaging from the top. All we’ve heard is that our testing is the best and everybody can get tested and we are doing a phenomenal job and it’s time to reopen and barf barf barf

Well your 5 year old seems to be a more competent debater than you cause you haven’t made an argument yet. Just wasting time. Maybe hand her the keyboard for a bit so we can actually get somewhere

We've got a sensationalist media who's business model is to literally blow everything out of proportion for maximum outrage and fear views, so no, when people assume that covid has been blown way out of proportion to serve a profit motives and political agendas, and they respond with skepticism at ANY precaution being presented as necessary by those in power, I don't agree that they're morons. Just human.

Plus, personally, I'm all for the masks and testing. People that need to eat and pay their bills, though, need to be allowed to go back to work. If we can gather in crowds to shout political demands, we ought to be allowed to earn a living.

I’m not claiming that people taking reasonable, critical and skeptical views are morons. Thats you sensationalizing my point.

of course the media dishonestly over dramatizes things for profit. That’s not new news.

the morons are the ones, like I said, that are fighting for no masks, no testing, COVID is a hoax, back to normal.

It sounds like you and I have similar views. I don’t have beef with people like you, from what I can tell. The other morons that you’ve seen in this thread are the ones I’m calling out.
 
Because those who choice not to wear masks also do not follow the suggested guide lines, such as staying six feet apart, following the marked store isles (so that you are always in back of the person in front of you & not facing a person because you are going the wrong way (as the store has marked for every ones safety ) Those who have made the non safe choice should do us all a favor and go get tested. Yes in the 5 days it takes to test you could infect others, but if you don't test you could infect many more. Buy the end of this week the numbers will show at least one percent of the population has been infected, that's bad but nothing as bad as this virus going on & on & on.
 
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....
Sounds like we have some problems with our testing system. Should get immediate results. Need to fix that shit, right?
We have all the tests we need we don't have enough lab space...even after H1N1 Obama said we didn't need more labs built and staffed...but he nor any of us ever thought we would see a virus with so many asymptomatic infections...this is different than any virus we ever have seen before...

In other virus pandemics only people with symptoms were ever tested...so limiting the testing to sick people and folks that have come in contact with the virus and work related testing is wise at this time....at least until we get more labs up and running....so if you want to somehow place blame for this on the federal government it is misplaced blame......blame the virus for being so haphazard....and evil....blame China for creating this monster....

Ignoring what I ACTUALLY said is further supporting your dumbassary.

I said we already ACT like everyone is a carrier, dumbfuck. ACT.

Because we already take precautions by ACTING like everyone is a carrier, there is no need to test unless a treatment is needed.

Tell me how that is wrong, you idiot fucking piece of aardvark shit!!!
 
Society already treats me as though I am infected. (mask mandates and social distancing)

I feel ZERO symptoms.

No need to test me until I feel sick and need a treatment, right?

But, you communist shit twinkle-toed butt fuckers want to test me so you can give me a false positive like you have been doing, to further cast a bullshit narrative.

NO TESTING PEOPLE WHO DO NOT FEEL SICK!!!! Let's head off the bullshit RIGHT NOW!!

That’s actually a very thoughtful statement that I would agree with. Too bad that kind of messaging isn’t coming out of our White House. According to Trump, We are doing the best with testing.

Have all the tests you want. Masks on the other hands......well they are like pot. It is breaking the law that is the most fun in refusing to wear one.
More proof you’re a moron. Thank you

I am a mask free moron, Jelly.
Not jelly... wearing a mask around people isnt a big deal, it’s not this crazy sacrifice that you drama queens make it out to be.
