That's the biggest bullshit. Why even test people who are already quarantined when the test result wont change anything.

Either the test is reliable enough that it provides the public health bodies with valuable data and allows the quarantine to be ended early if its negative; or the test isnt reliable enough to cut the quarantine, but then it also cant provide reliable data that would be of much use. So why even bother`?


i think its a way to limit people taking tests. just say its all the same date u can get back to work to stop people with no symptoms clogging the system.

But the U.S. has ramped up its testing capacities a TON. Iirc, you're meanwhile testing over half a million people per day. Limiting tests might have been useful in March and early April, but these rules should have been adjusted to the new capacity like... 2 months ago.

lol. CNN and Fox News can talk about how easy it is to get a test in cities of 10m people where they have pop up buses that drive around and test people for 75$. in the midwest, in medium sized cities, with small capacity hospitals and generally only 1-2 providers per region its not easy at all. they do all they can to just get u to stay home and prevent anyone getting tests. we've had massive spiked in Wisconsin, thanks to reopening bars.

hope springs eternal. hope, even rooted in delusion, sells better than reality

hey maybe soon every state will flip blue. but then who will the lefties blame? ah who am i kidding we know already. they're blaming 'Republicans' for police misconduct in Minneapolis and Atlanta, clearly two (R) strongholds in terms of elected officials and leadership :rofl:

i read a "response" to the "these are democrat cities" critique, which i agree with largely (not the response lol), and it basically went into an emotional rant about how the stain of conservative mindsets can last decades and that even being in a state or area with other republican run places causes these issues. not "well even some democrats are shitty", or "we're not perfect either and still learning". no no no, literally "you smell so bad that it makes us have body odor".

This is impressive how people are still massively wearing mask here, even walking alone. Really.
I'm still in more likely urban area (south west of Paris)
How about yours countries guys ? Masks much ?

People of color account for majority of coronavirus infections, new CDC study says

Quote
WASHINGTON — African-Americans and Latinos are vastly overrepresented when it comes to coronavirus infections, according to an analysis released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday morning.


data set doesn't include anything about East or South Asians. again, these for these groups of 'people of color' their color doesn't matter to the media

wait there is some data
Quote
Asian-Americans, people of Hawaiian-Pacific Islander background and people who identified as biracial or multiracial represented much smaller shares of the infected population.

:rolleyes:

Imagine quoting extreme leftist viewpoints and trying to label anyone on the left with them..
Shall i apply that logic to extreme right views? Its not going to go well.
