I read lots of quotes from sources who blame the increase in Covid-19 infections on increased testing? Why would we not wish to know about the growing problem and who might need to know they are infected? I do not understand this. I know it is political but we can't just wish it away by not testing people - can we?
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.
No Jab.

You really think this infection is political? What about jock itch and toenail fungus? Infection?! Thought it was a virus. Yes, jock itch and toenail fungus is next. Then crabs.

Why would you not want to know that you were carrying a highly infectious disease? That is the question. Should we treat 100% of the population to curb the spread, or treat nobody and let the chips fall where they may? Which is it? You do realize our bodies right all kinds of nasty stuff on a day to day bases right? Want to live in a bubble?

Don't be silly. There's no profit in a body healing itself.

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.

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 .

'Scuse me for the improper terminology. I never done went to college. But I'm healthy as a horse. Other than falling down and floppin around sometimes.
