Covid will be in the rear view mirror if they stop testing. Just sayin.
Yes, you can just ignore problems and they’ll magically disappear. How well does that work for cancer? What about heart disease? How about something a bit more simple, such as vision? Can you just ignore the problems and they’ll go away?
Difference being, heart disease and cancer are serious medical issues that always require medical treatment. Covid is a weak flu which will clear up by itself in a few days.
But by all means….please run off and get tested for Covid the moment you sneeze so our Betters in government can continue the charade.
Yeah just like cancer.
Truth! What happened to the days of just treating your symptoms when your sick just like we used to with the flu.
Arrogance makes the brain stupider. Oh but then you can’t fix stupid, but the RED hats make it easy identify
I recommend we all go start testing to see if we have AIDS, syphilis, mad cow disease, the flu, rhinovirus and the flu so we can drive those case numbers up even if we are asymptomatic cause we could have it and spread it to others.
The Flu doesn’t cause a ventilator to be needed in most cases brainiac.
I currently have covid. You talk about individual rights. Would it be my right to walk up to a group of at-risk individuals who declined the vaccine and just engage with them like nothing is happening? Not tell them I’m sick, because hey, this is all a ruse, right? Would it be my moral obligation to inform others that I have covid and I’m contagious, or is it my right to just say f it and run a real risk of getting those people sick and possibly doing them in?
I ask because that’s your mentality. You’re the kind of person that would justify potentially life threatening behavior in the name of “freedom” while never once acknowledging your responsibilities as a human in a modern, civilized society to help keep others safe from the harm that your dangerous actions can cause.
I’ve have an unvac’d friend on a vent as a result of catching Omicron. It’s the real deal folks. Wear KN95 or better, get vac’d and good luck.
Wow Jen, you are a sick person. I’m sorry but there sounds like there’s no help for you.
If you can’t see the correlation then there is no hope for you either.
Oh I’ve seen first hand the correlation between stupidity and Trumpster’s
