Coronavirus tests

“AIDS” (HIV) tests actually do limit the spread because they make an otherwise asymptomatic carrier realize that they can spread the disease, and take appropriate precautions.

One facet of widespread coronavirus testing uses this same premise.

The huge difference is (other that someone took a D to A) they won't test you for Corona if you don't have symptoms.

Most people understand that if they start showing symptoms, get tested, comes back positive, they are basically under house-arrest for two weeks. I can understand a person who is in an at-risk of dying due to underlying health conditions wanting to know, but a younger person with no symptoms? What's the point? The test is just a snapshot in time anyway. You don't have any symptoms, go get tested, don't have it, catch it from the gas pump on the way home from the clinic.

Idk...

We already know 6-22% of everyone has had it depending on the region...

Split the difference...roughly 14%

That's roughly 50 million Americans...

We are at herd immunity

It's the stupidest of all arguments, the virus is going g to run its course regardless, those who get sick enough will get treatment and it's only a snapshot in time, a negative is meaningless you could get it the next day.

Now I think the AB test is critical.

That is new York State, the hardest hit state in the country due to moronic failures of their elected leaders, who the press still fawn over as great leaders.

Other areas of the country are significantly lower.

But what we do see is that actually exposure appears to be significantly higher than thought.

The California study just had it's data redone and the numbers downgrade the previous estimate but still dwarf the known cases by an estimate of 5 to 65x.

Not true.
Contact screening tests are uniformly performed on asymptomatic individuals.

I don't know where they are doing "contact screening", but they sure as Hell are not doing it here. Just last week, I read a county commission's guideline on testing. It specifically said, no symptom, no test.

As for contact screening, that is complete bullshite. No way I'm giving up my right to privacy.

This is wrong on multiple levels.

Thanks for the copious amount of refutable evidence. Your point is taken......and discarded.

From what I'm told, we already have. I asked how in the heck should I test positive adn was at TJ Maxx, would they find the people there. "Bank transactions" I was told. Then I asked "well what if I paid in cash?". I was then told that they could search by phone location at a given time.

Now IDK if that's correct info or not but it sure did make me question things. Oh and it's also been said turning off our location services on a phone doesn't help. Leave your phone at home .. but then if your car is newer, they could "trace/follow" that.

I think you can get a good idea what is actually good for ending this ordeal and what isnt, just by examining the media. Generally, the praise things like the testing you are talking about, which dont really do anything to end the hysteria, and then downplay things like antibody testing, and promising treatments which would speed the end of the lockdown.
