You seem to be under the impression that if you test negative on Monday, you are free to go about your business and get back to going into an amp, an apartment of a sex worker who is having intimate contact ( less than 6 feet apart ) meeting some of the most "irresponsible ( sure I'll stick my dick in a glory hole not knowing who is on the others side, that's always fun ) men on the planet". Do you not understand that on Tuesday you could be exposed to somebody who is asymptomatic and you get it thinking you are immune because you got a negative test on Monday. Come on man.
Yes, testing to find positive people who can then trace and warn those they have come in contact with just like herpes or gonorrhea serves a purpose until the numbers are so large as they are now, that tracing is of little benefit. That's when you get to the point when the "everybody stay home order" goes out because tracing is no longer effective.
If you feel sick, stay the fuck inside. What does it matter if you have COVID-19, you should not expose yourself to any other human being for a minimum of a couple of weeks if you exit symptoms of the flu.
If you are feeling sick and you simply must have a test for what ever reason, fine, call your doctor, get a script for a test which you will need, find a drive through, get a test and go home and wait or just stay the fuck home until you either feel better or you are having such a problem with breathing that you must go to a hospital where they may or may not be able to help you because plenty of people are dying in hospitals in case you haven't heard.
And because a country like South Korea with a population of 51 million did a good job of testing everybody or so they say, doesn't mean a country of 320 million is going to do the job as fast. It would have also been easier for a country of 51 million to have more masks and PPE available.
Now our leaders are discussing the possibility of passing out Immunity Cards when we are able to do antibody testing even though they will tell you that they have no earthly idea how long your immunity might last "IF" they have correctly tested you for antibodies.
So in a country where the left is absolutely against our government asking for papers to see if you are an American citizen, they are going to green light checking people for their Immunity Card" to see if they are "allowed" to travel freely? Fuck that no matter how good an idea it sounds.
It is beginning to look like this virus can spread more easily than some others but may not kill as many as we thought it would. Some how for the last few decades we have managed to turn our heads at 60,000 dead for Influenza A but we are going to destroy lives and our economy because this particular strain kills ten's of thousands? Why? We now know what we should be doing to keep the numbers down, lets get back to work and use some common sense for the next few months.
Saw a poll today that 72% of people say they will not go to a football game, concert again until their is an effective vaccine. That sounds reasonable to me but we can't go another 18 months with 17 million ( and growing ) Americans out of work. We simply can not.
