Please help me understand why it is not good to know that the infection rate if growing?

Well for 1, different strains of corona have been around for long time and no one cared until recently. And like you said. It's political.

Infection?! Thought it was a virus. Yes, jock itch and toenail fungus is next. Then crabs.

You mean like some kind of an IMMUNE system or something crazy like that? Don't be silly. There's no profit in a body healing itself.

Charles,
It’s not really blaming it’s just facts. Increased testing. Increased positives. Less percentage of people dying from it. I think more testing is great. Just shows the elephant in the room to anyone with common sense.

Two very smart people have told me "We are each our own unique being. No two people will react the same to the same condition. One may die from mercury poisoning, the next may have a system that can filter the mercury out through waste." Such is life.

Yes. It IS an infection. That's why you run a fever.

Seems to me it would be a good thing for everyone to get a grip on the correct terminology. You are infected with the virus.

A PCR nasal swab test is designed to detect the RNA of the virus...The ANTIGEN.

A blood test....serology....is required to detect ANTIBODIES

Political . The Atlantic (left leahihg enough ?)
Now if a persons test comes back positive , they have you list
everyone you came into contact with , and they are counted as a " new " case
until they're tested , so if you came into contact with 50 people ,
there's 51 " new " cases .

Why get a test for a disease that has a 99% survival rate?

Minn. has tested over 600,000, over 30,000 positives with around 1500 deaths. Over 1100 of the deaths from nursing homes and long term care facilities. Death rate a quarter of one percent, and if Walz would have kept positive cases away from old folks and the infirm over 80% of those deaths would have been prevented.
