Wife went to Urgent Care last night for sinus infection
She gets them at least every other month so she knows when it's coming

Tells nurse that she has a sinus infection...complaining of headache, sinus pain, and slight nausea
Nurse automatically tells her she has covid and must take a fast track test before anything else.
I told wife to refuse and go to Lake After Hours, but she didn't feel like waiting again.
Nurse continues to tell my wife she has covid and should wear a mask at all times.
Test comes back negative, so they give her a shot for her sinus infection and send her on her way.

Freaking Ridiculous...
I now see how they are reporting 57,000 tests a day if they are doing this all over the state
Wouldn't be surprised if the mark her as a positive to cook the numbers

They literally gave Big Mac meals away to those getting tested.


DO you really think this is about the virus?

It is about power and control. It has been the entire time.

Well, covid symptoms can be a lot like a sinus infection.

The US tests more in a week than any other country has tested through this whole thing, except for India. People pressure the increase in tests and then use the results to bludgeon the citizens and the economy. It's ridiculous. Like forcing someone to dig their own grave.

Covid symptoms are every symptom out there. There's a reason for that...

Virtually every hospital admission, ER visit, and elective surgery patient get tested.

That being said, Covid hospital census and ICU impact is as acute right now as it has been since April and August spikes.

I read an article the other day on fear and how people like living in fear. Weirdest shite I've ever heard of, but checks out.

We removed leadership from front and center and replaced it with fear mongers

You wanna know how much of a money grab scam Covid testing is? Just read the FDA site. They’re not hiding it.

EUA’s, do not use/distribute lists, zero approved tests (well there is one, approved on November 17, but it’s rarely used), statement after statement describing the bull shite that is the current state of antibody and pcr testing.

Hospitals will not do any sort of procedure on patients until they have a COVID test done.

programmed to let the "majority" think for them. Essentially, they've traded critical thinking skills in for "security"
