I see I've been cast to another thread. Didn't think I was going political, just trying to offer another take. Will work on playing in the sand box better.
I get this is serious, just have a lot of questions. When I see numbers that show over 85% of all tests are negative, seems we are heading in the wrong direction with testing. Something like 600k have tested negative to the 80k positive. That's a lot of testing that for whatever reason is being done on people that maybe don't need it? In turn it is tying up doctors, staff, and using test kits that should be done on others. Do these people have symptons, or are they panicking due to what they are hearing? Either way, they are having an impact on hospitals, etc.
I also am curious as to if the flu vaccine has any impact. How many people that are positive had the vaccine? And how many people that tested negative have had the vaccine? Valid questions in my opinion.
And seems the reporting a couple of weeks ago about antibiotic testing has fallen to the side. What is going on with the test group in Washington? Maybe I missed it.
Our family is following the rules/orders the best we can. Staying away from folks - not ordering take-out, having conference calls, etc. But I'm also in the essential business category (land development - public works), have a family company, and need to put food on the table. Our son at UT is now living at home and is immune compromised. So this is VERY serious to me.
And why can other countries test tens of thousands and have results in minutes, and we're tripping over our selves trying to test hundreds?
