If we'd have never even started testing for the virus, some people would have gotten sick, a few people would have died, it would have come and gone like the flu, and we wouldn't have millions out of work and on welfare.
Is the govt ever going to financially recover from all that stimulus money that it p--sed in the wind? At 20 yo i wonder how many years of my life i'll have to work to pay it off.

Why get a test for a disease that has a 99% survival rate? To determine whether you may be infecting others I would practice abstinence. As much as possible.

You'll never pay it off. It will continue to grow every year. And don't have kids.....they don't deserve what's coming in the next years.

And in case you were wondering why Texas ICU's are filling up;. It is because they are starting to see "patients as usual" again. Only 15% of the "overwhelmed" hospital's patients are Covid related. The vast majority are surgical/emergency patients.

I find it very strange that the Covid-19 pathogen is stopped by the red river between TX and OK, and by the boundaries between GA, AL and FL. Weird how two big conservative states (FL and TX) are now in Covid's cross hairs. This virus is smarter than we give it credit. In an election year, it seeks out certain places at certain times. Mask or no mask.

What if you put a mask over it? Like showering with your socks on...

You really think this infection is political? What about jock itch and toenail fungus? I've never had either of those, so they must be fake.

How do we know it's growing? They weren't giving this amount of test in March. If you test more you are going to have more positives. It's set up that way. The one thing you never hear about is the death rate. Wonder what it is at present? I know you are scared Charles. Stay at home as much as you can and it may take longer for the virus to infect you. I'm afraid however, you will eventually get the virus. The common cold has never been cured and I figure Covid 19 won't either. This is correct^^^ It's a virus. All of us will be exposed eventually. Why bother with a test? If you test negative today you may be exposed tommorrow. it's correct but misleading, the common cold is caused by over 200 different viruses, making it an nonsensical comparison to Covid. Though, the point is taken, that it's a virus-family we haven't cured.

You can figure out roughly the amount of people infected and previously infected by the infection rate. If 10% of your test subjects are infected then you can roughly extrapolate to 10% of the untested people are infected. Not exact, a rough approximation.
The death rate compared to confirmed cases is pretty meaningless. IMHO
