In hard-hit areas, testing restricted to health care workers, hospital patients
New York City’s Daskalakis said people with a manageable fever and cough who aren’t at high risk for severe illness should assume they have covid-19. Seeking a test exposes health care workers administering them and wastes resources, since nothing would change for those individuals based on their results, he said. There is no approved treatment for the disease.

SSG Robert Webster When I see ‘there is no approved treatment for the disease’ is when I start to wonder!
If there is nothing we can except accept the our world, it sounds like a ‘no sweat, GI situation’ to me. SGT Philip Roncari SGT (Join to see)

CSM Charles Hayden I start to wonder when they (the authorities) start assuming that if you have the symptoms that you have COVID-19, when only about 10 percent of those tested are actually ill with it. Especially since there is little to no difference for 99.9 percent of people that have a common cold, a version of the flu, or this new viral infection.
Another thing it tells me is that they tripped the wrong trigger.
Though the US Government swears up and down that this is not a biological warfare item that escaped from the lab, the are reacting as if it is full on biological warfare. When the dust settles and the numbers are crunched, there are going to be a whole lot of pissed off people. There are already apologist out there working the psyop angle on this. I just hope that when it is said and done that not too many people drink the politicians Kool-Aid.

CSM Charles Hayden The percentage now is 13 percent with fewer people being tested. Interestingly, I believe that the percentage would go down with the number of people tested, but with the current strategy in place, it will make the situation appear to be worse than it actually is.
