Then there is still a chance the results are not correct.

Imagine getting tested for something every time you stubbed your toe. You know it’s gonna happen, but you know you’ll be okay.

A former Trump HHS official on Fox News earlier today said we need to be rolling out 1 billion tests a month.

Edit: He was making the case that where the Biden administration went wrong was by not subsidizing the testing industry through the COVID downturn at the beginning of the year and that the industry cratered and needs to picked back up.

$800+ is more accurate when insurance stops covering it.

If I have the answers beforehand no big deal, but I don't want to study

Insurance need not have to cover it. The UK has approved dozens of home kits, and the cost has dropped so much that they’re available for like $25 (or the equivalent in pounds), OTC.

Then you have to stay home like an a-hole while all the infected folks who haven't been tested spread the cold.

You can go to Walmart and Sams for the Abbot home test for only 14 dollars for 2 tests in the US. Walgreens and other drug stores still want over 20 for 2 kits.

Well...there you go. No reason to make this something that insurance should be involved in, thereby driving up the cost. There are enough competing companies out there putting out kits to make them easily accessible and affordable.

It sets up the supply chain for mail in ballots in 2022. And the case for mail in ballots with covid cases

Testing is a way to keep the fear narrative and therefore the mandates going. Stop getting tested unless you are sick….and even then, think twice about it

Let's say that all of a sudden you are not feeling well and you don't know what the fk you have. You get tested to see what you have. You come out negative, you know it's only the flu. You come out positive, then you are screwed, quarantine time. Very simple.

This thinking is why we're back to 140k cases day.

Now apply that same logic to driving. We want to ensure everyones safety on the highway, so each driver has to breathalyze every so often in order to drive on the streets.

You blow a 1.0, but havent had a drink. Your life is fricked up, just cuz, safety and shite
