And yet another reason everybody is sooo pissed off.

Pick something and stick with it, be wrong and admit it.

There are three types of tests available for COVID-19: polymerase chain reaction (PCR), antigen, and antibody (serology) testing. PCR and antigen tests detect whether a person is currently infected, and serology detects whether a person had an infection in the past. This document is designed to explain the differences between PCR, antigen, and ...

I edited my comment since it conveyed something I didn't intend before, but not sure if it clarifies my understanding. Something like 6 days after being exposed and 3 days after first symptoms is the optimal testing period. Before and after this 1-2 day window and the accuracy falls off a cliff. I think it's only 85% effective even during the peak of accuracy.

Anyhoo, the point isn't the accuracy of my understanding, but to convey the fact that testing is very leaky, not to mention vaccination itself (I'm generally pro-vaccine BTW).

I'm also saying that when it's clear that decisions are being made to politically divide the nation rather than affect health outcomes, it's time to purge those individuals from public service.

He's the one that looks like this, right?



That would be a better character to emulate.

Such individuals divide their countries and make an easier path for Mao Zedong worshippers to conquer.

Since I bend towards liberty, I expect people to take more responsibility for their health rather than have Big Brother dictating how large their soda can be. To that end, people should have the right to take an experimental therapy so long as they are given the best information available at the time. Heck, we let people sell crystals and copper bracelets as therapies without any regulation, which would be devastating for someone if they used it to treat cancer, for example.

Anyone that thinks someone must or must not take any particular therapy is simply wrong and has corrupt thinking. If the state gets to dictate these things then we are not individuals who have responsibility to ourselves, but slaves responsible to a few powerful political elites.

Agree with your statement regarding march towards communism, but it's occurring from both US political parties. Having a left or right authoritarian state is about equally murderous in my estimation. People are happy to give up responsibility (liberty) on both sides to simplify their decisions. They can then angrily point a finger at some political party rather than take responsibility for their own personal failure.

Remember 2018?

That didn't last long did it?
