    They are testing people with no symptoms now. I got tested before a routine hospital procedure

    If it changes then our response can change but for now young healthy people are virtually immune to the effects of Covid

    New cases were meant to ESPECIALLY mean asymptomatic people walking around spreading the infection, but, hey, that was before y'all wanted to go bowling, and it started to REALLY cost money and Trump started to look bad.

    So hey, **** 'em, they're old

    Speaking as an old person I’m more than happy to see young people getting on with their lives and saving their businesses and homes and providing for their families. The risk to my old ass is worth it.

    I have no issue with increased testing but I do take umbrage to using the results of increased testing to make the false claim that the virus spread is increasing. Of course increased testing will find more asymptotic Covid. That’s a given

    Old at risk people should and are taking increased precautions. Forcing young not at risk people to act like old people is just plain stupid

    it's my belief that the virus entered this Country late last year, Trump should have been busy having old autopsies re-tested that died of flu like symptoms late last year to determine this, cause if true, the Trump shutdown was not even needed

    Trump wanted to hide the counts though as he already claimed "15 going on zero" and anything that showed other than that was bad in his eyes - hiding the truth often backfires in the long run

    To be clear...you were more concerned for that relative about the tens of people killed by murder in Chicago than you were about the hundreds of people being killed in Chicago by covid-19?

    Does that make sense to you from a probability point of view?

    He made a moronic and heartless point. That much is very clear.

    Then that should be extended to every infectious disease we are threatened by. Every flu season or anything else that comes along.

    This Covid thing is a political event, not a public health event.

    A buffoon, and an embarrassment.

    At this stage, 99.9% of his Covid19 predictions, and egoistic comparisons have been proven wrong.

    On November 4th, there’s no doubt that some of his loyalists will be saying “Had he kept his loud mouth shut, and led by example”

    Is Donald Trump self-destructing?

    Of course he is!

    it is spreading if more people are getting it - the real number most are concerned with though is the hospitalization rate and death rate

    more data is not bad, I wish we had more data from late last year

    That people are dumb.

    A single person or a very small group of people will tend to make smart decisions, like you and your wife sequestering yourselves and rely on your own supplies/outside deliveries.

    But people - people are dumb.

    Increased testing does not automatically mean that the virus is spreading.

    An increase in the testing positive percentage, even while the total number of tests are increasing, does automatically mean that the virus is spreading.

    You do not need an explanation as to why a novel virus for which there is no vaccine is different from infectious diseases for which we have vaccines and decades of data.

    so your saying the Trump shutdown and reopen guidelines were wrong?

    why doesn't anyone on the right tell Trump that then?

    There are thousands with no symptoms being repeatedly tested. I would bet if all honesty were put forth, there are a number of those on this forum who so severely feared catching the Chinese Virus that they have already been tested multiple times.
    I have a semi-conservative friend married to a wack-a -doodle far leftie spouse who requires her husband to get tested weekly. She herself has not left the house for any reason since early March.
    BTW, If you believe all the scientists, your comment "I won't get tested unless I am sick" is insane as you likely have already spread it to others.

    Many people have died from it, but that does not change the fact that it is a political event and a virus engineered for gain of function.

    Exactly which function the engineers improved is unknown to me and the public.

    You might not need such an explanation, but I would be most interested in one.

    I know that occurs at the White House

    as I have said many times, I think the virus was here late last year and the Trump shutdown may not of even been needed

    I didn't vote for Trump.

    It is most difficult to discuss this event without personalities, but I try.
