Do you think that a dutiful reading your posts would be more likely to prompt the average sulryer to: a) mask up b) go to the nearest Covid ICU and lick the linoleum c) commit suicide

They wanted to get more people sick (herd immunity). More people got sick. Seems like they succeeded.- Formerly DT: COVID-19 - Featuring Lots of Politics, now CR because political talk not going away

Since we're all talking anecdotes 3 emps in my shop were able to get tested in 915, 1 w/ symptoms and the other two because they were riding around in the truck with the first guy. They got the test right away at a local health center, this was about 2 weeks ago (all negative). TBH I don't get the apparent gravity of the testing issue, particularly at this stage. Obviously I'd like to test everyone that sneezes and quarantine the +s, but I think we know that asymptomatic spread is a big issue (by both those who will and those who will not remain asymptomatic). Also let's say we're testing errbody (meaning asymptomatic) and I get tested and am infected by someone else at the clinic, but I (correctly) test negative (let's go to the football game/concert/coronavirus protest!). But now I'm positive and will very soon be shedding the virus. So how often do we retest? One test doesn't really tell you much (I don't have it right this second... Oops now I've got it). Also, isn't the point of the testing what we do w/ the data? In SK they were able to track/notify/control in a way that isn't feasible and wouldn't be as effective here for geographic and murica reasons. So let's assume we could wave a wand and test X number tomorrow (w/ X being whatever number of whatever population/demographic the surl deems need testing). Then what? (obligatory 1. test 2... 3. profit) edit: shit rpspeed beat me to it (MA antibody test story) IMO antibody tests data is more important now- Formerly DT: COVID-19 - Featuring Lots of Politics, now CR because political talk not going away

Cite list of people who want a test but can't get one? Absent that how have we shown he misspoke?- Formerly DT: COVID-19 - Featuring Lots of Politics, now CR because political talk not going away
I replied too soon, I hadn't seen page 703.- Formerly DT: COVID-19 - Featuring Lots of Politics, now CR because political talk not going away

Even better: what the fuck else is there to do? Let's pivot to the subject of testing. We haven't covered that.- Formerly DT: COVID-19 - Featuring Lots of Politics, now CR because political talk not going away
Okay that was a nice troll job. You had me going there. I tip my hat.- Formerly DT: COVID-19 - Featuring Lots of Politics, now CR because political talk not going away
So various govt. officials have commented on it. Politicians. Huh. So has Surly, random Twitterers, the Guardian, NY Times, Fox News, every other fucking news outlet, and me. This isn't the "find a cure or minimize negative outcomes" thread. This is the thread for Covid-19. Including discussions about where it came from, without your weird partisan conspiracy theories about Fox News, the DOD and other Republicans. Jesus.- Formerly DT: COVID-19 - Featuring Lots of Politics, now CR because political talk not going away
On page 8, Jan 25 (first and only page I looked at. There were others about the Horseshoe Bats, genome of the virus & etc.) https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/index.php?/topic/13391-dt-covid-19-no-politics-allowed/&do=findComment&comment=2000797 https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/index.php?/topic/13391-dt-covid-19-no-politics-allowed/&do=findComment&comment=2000797 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-7922379/Chinas-lab-studying-SARS-Ebola-Wuhan-outbreaks-center.html- Formerly DT: COVID-19 - Featuring Lots of Politics, now CR because political talk not going away

In addition to ignoring Cable News (I highly recommend it), I also never rely on Facebook for any real information beyond birthdays & etc. (also highly recommended). My info on this theory is all from this thread where it has been noted that 1) bats that carry the virus are not trafficked in the Wet Market, and not found in the region 2) except for inside the Wuhan virology lab That seems like a pretty solid coincidence, and is all I'm going off of. Not Facebook. Not Fox. I only read surl.- Formerly DT: COVID-19 - Featuring Lots of Politics, now CR because political talk not going away
What "entities" are "pushing" the lab theory? I mean, I've posted about it, but I'm not "pushing" it. I guess you could say I'm an "entity" though.... edit: forgot to ask, so what is my agenda? IMO it is to find out the truth about where this came from. Your agenda seems to differ somewhat.- Formerly DT: COVID-19 - Featuring Lots of Politics, now CR because political talk not going away
But that's not what you're doing, since Fox reported it you discounted it totally and in fact assumed it must be a conspiracy theory. But what if you are wrong in this case? You're just denying yourself legitimate information for no good reason. Meanwhile I don't watch cable news, but if I did I wouldn't totally ignore whichever channel, say, Stephanopoulos is on just because he worked for the Clinton administration Like you I think it is wrong for partisan politicians to pretend like they are straight news, but I'll listen anyway because I want to be able make up my own mind. Plus if you ignored every news outlet that hired former Administration officials you would probably run out of news sources.- Formerly DT: COVID-19 - Featuring Lots of Politics, now CR because political talk not going away
