Ok I’ll say it. This country will be f’d by late August. Not enough testing. Very little tracing. And best of all, those morons who complain about level of government spending are out invading lake house country. Went to a Home Depot today and saw maybe 30% wearing masks. Even employees not wearing masks. Not going back. US is taking Brazilian approach but showing peeps there was a polite pause to respect medical workers, assisted living facilities, slaughterhouse employees and frail yours

OP I'm pretty sure I read some today that states have too excess testing capacity. Have you been listening to sound bites only?

Even network has more testing that needed at this time..
Just do a quick Google.

So PWC what do we need? Honestly curious

If you’re allowed to go to Home Depot I think the lake house owners ought to be allowed to leave the cities and isolate in their lake houses that they own, pay property taxes on, and thereby support the local-seasonal economies. I think a fair compromise is prohibiting rentals to third parties.

It’s a shitty extension of your argument because they think it violates our rights to mandate testing. Doing mandatory testing would be extremely difficult because pretty much all of the nurses, PAs, NPs, etc. who would be called in for local flu shots were all called in to hospitals. There is not a plethora of medical staff to be dispersed for mass testing. Additionally would be a massive under taking by testing facilities.

All this being said, I think this has to be done in some format, even if it takes all summer. It’s the only way we can trace how many people have had it, do have it, where it’s been, where it’s going. Maybe your state is “fine” and the testing proves it, but what if we find out Georgia is riddled with the virus. Wouldn’t you like to know before you take a road trip up there? It’s useful information that can save lives

If 80-100% of people in the US wore a mask or some type of face covering, we'd lower the infection rate significantly. But no, people don't like to be told that because somehow it violates their civil rights.
