So.....everyone in the US take a test. What test you want them to take?
I assume the anti-body test
This isn’t about us taking a test to show whether we are positive or negative with Covid-19. It’s about whether we have had it and have the anti-body.
Doing the +/- testing won’t change anything at this point except make the stats reflect the sub .05% mortality rate this virus has caused. What you could ask for is seeing how many people have had this and overcome it. Then we can see about herd immunity and GTF back to work.
Dr Faucci needs to go. He is a fear monger and he and others scared the holy shat out of Trump in the beginning which led to this shutdown. Now Trump has been backed into a corner on what is right and wrong. No matter what he does it’s wrong.
Take a nice read on the article about NYC and the public transportation and why NYC metro area became the hot spot it did.
No fault of Trump.

It was actually the Imperial report that said that 2.2 million could die if nothing was done- that was what put Trump into action.

If you haven't read the Imperial Report then take some time and educate yourself.

Honestly given that it seems millions of people have already been infected and recovered without even knowing they had it, testing might just be a waste of time. All this does is pump up the Numbers. If we stop sensationalizing the numbers and just move on we can open up the economy.

[QUOTE=206321;3037658]The White House's resistance to implement a federal testing program is going to drive our economy right into the ground. Furloughs.
Testing IS the key to building passenger confidence to fly again. Until then, our load factors and revenue is going to dwindle.

Unbelievable.

Testing does nothing but increase public panic. China stopped testing and went back to living their lives. After a while you just need to suck it up and move on with life.
