Tests are 100% bullshit and numbers are not real. My friend in Florida tested positive, which forced a second test. The second test comes back negative. She was then tested a third time, negative. What does that do to the numbers? First, they’re false. Second, you’re just testing the same people over and over again raising the total. It’s all fucking bullshit.

Agreed. And you know what? I bet a lot of people "carry" the regular flu during a flu season and never feel sick and if they started testing for it, the numbers would be higher than covid. And there's no way in hell I'm getting the vaccine either.

Thats an interesting point I haven’t thought of. Having millions of people get tested in a normal flu season that wouldn’t have previously needed to would definitely uncover some numbers. This whole thing just makes me more pissed off.

I've been saying this since the beginning of the "pandemic." How many people go to the doctor during flu season and actually GET a flu test? Nobody that I know. Most doctors say "you have the flu heres a prescription for some cough medicine and a sick note for your boss."

I know because I've never personally been tested for the flu. Have been diagnosed with it plenty of times, though.
