Even with the intentional nursing home infections, lung destroying overuse of ventilators, and attributing every death to WuFlu, the death rate was far less than they made it out to be. Now, the virus is also weakening, which is what coronaviruses typically do over time (see SARS for reference) so we are seeing deaths plummet even as infections rise.

Yup, lots of asymptomatic people rushing to get tested due to a possible exposure. Guess what, some of them will pop positive.

A lot of people have been waiting to get elective procedures done and are now going to the hospital. Every single one of them is being tested regardless. I imagine there may be a rush because of a 3 month backlog.

My daughter has to get the fucking tube out of her ear because it's messing with her hearing. She has to get traumatized with a fucking test for no reason.

This is after the surgery has been delayed for months.

And lots of employers requiring Covid tests before returning to work.

what I’ve seen a lot of is requiring a negative (sometimes two negatives) before allowing you to return to work. Guess what happens if you still test positive? You get counted as a new case. I read something about people testing positive like 21 days after being getting over the illness.

We wouldn't know about the infections without the expanded testing, so that is true.

I agree. We are already seeing the misleadia ramping up the fear porn, and here in Oregon the Democrats are already talking about another shutdown on top of the "pause" in reopening and mandating of masks in some counties that Kate Brown already ordered. The Democrat useful idiots are all for it, of course, and are even writing letters and making phone calls urging their politicians to shut us down again and mandate masks statewide.

It happened here in Texas. The governor closed all the bars again. I'm starting to feel like this will never end.
