are people *** insane?
have we completely lost touch with reality?
I want to say no, but then I see what types of items are completely missing from local store shelves and I’m forced to say yes.
like i see Senator hirono, not to mention others, being a complete *** human scumbag over testing.
There are three important things to testing that nobody seems to want to talk about.
1. We are in a state of panic. Every single mother *** is going to want to be tested asap. we cannot test this many people.
2. if you are not an At risk person, this virus will not hurt you. there are NO RECORDED CASES of anyone who was NOT AT RISK (E.G. immuno compromised, Over 50, or lung complications). If we test everyone who falls OUTSIDE of the at risk population, we will both Run out of tests, and testing capacity, and will backlog our testing facilities for MONTHS.
3. Do any of you even know what a test kit entails? A survey test kit is literally a run of the mill nasal swabbing kit. WE HAVE MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS OF THEM IN THIS COUNTRY. The CDC is literally intentionally lying to people about testing capacity being limited, because we cannot risk inundating the testing capabilities of our very limited government labs. Last statistic i heard, is we can intake about 300k tests per day, but can only process a fraction of them- in the 10-20k range nation wide. relying on private companies improves that to about 30k.
Heres some quick math. Theres 327 million people in the states. Nation wids, evenn relying on private companies, working every single day, thats A million test kits processed per month - and thats if we dont process ANY OTHER KIND OF MEDICAL LAB WORK ANYWHERE.
if only 10% of the country gets tested - it will take
NEARLY THREE YEARS TO TEST THEM ALL.
Just 1%?
IT COULD TAKE UP TO THREE MONTHS TO SEE RESULTS.
The CDC is doing the right thing by lying to people. Its saving lives at the cost of people feeling safe.
