Just so we’re clear, Italy isn’t testing asymptomatic patients.

If the US wasn’t testing asymptomatic patients, you’d lose your mind. Italy isn’t. But you’re holding them up as a model of testing. And championing their results from a process you don’t even agree with. You’re a gaslighter and an idiot.



fricking guy must have bushels and bushels of cherries.

It’s amazing how ashamed they are of their own positions. Doc is on an anonymous message board and he still is too cowardly to admit he is advocating for more shutdowns. “Forced social distancing.” Lmao.

Why is the GOP so weak?


Because the GOP has a role to play. When they are in the minority, they talk tough and promise to do things like repeal Obamacare, close the borders, end abortions, etc. But when they have the majority, they become quite, inactive, compliant. It’s a game. It’s like Pro wrestling, where the outcome of the match is predetermined and moves scripted.
Just look at Trey Gowdy for a perfect example of how Republicans talk tough at times, but turn to spineless weasels when it’s time to act.
Welcome to the Grand Illusion!

While I don’t disagree that all GOP should have been more active at the beginning of the Trump Presidency, how much of this falls at the feet of Paul Ryan? I would assume it is up to the leader of the house to bring together the subsection of their party. The GOP has always been more divided in the way they govern. Democrats will always get in line for a vote.

I know you baws are anxious about the political consequences of this


You could not be more wrong. I round on Covid patients. I am consulted on their medical care. My stance is as anti-political as it comes. I am and have always been a student of science.

suppress the outbreak


With the current Ro (Reproductive number), this may be suppressed but in the end a very similar number of people will be or have been Covid positive. It will just take longer.

Protect those most at risk of death and those that care for them. Let the rest of us be to develop herd immunity.
