Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

Testing hasn't increased everywhere the infections are rising.

 

Tough one for Trumpists. This news plays into their beliefs that this thing is overrated. On the other hand, it comes from the WHO, from which the lord and savior has pledged to withdraw. Such a dilemma.

 

Many thanks to all for the kind words and support. I brought a decent amount of food from home, both for safety reasons and to cut down on the costs. So far so good after nine hours on the road. I won't reach the mountains until Wednesday (Georgia is a very long way from the Rockies). It was nice to be out of the house all day even if I was just on the interstate.

 

People's aversion to agonizing illness and death has not decreased , I'm betting. If places have severe outbreaks, people will change their behaviors regardless of what governments do, as folks did in Florida in March.

 

Quit rooting for the disease, Michael!

 

The problem is often what governments don't do. Specifically, Trumpist governors in Georgia and Florida have refused to tell their citizens the truth about the extent of the virus.

 

As always, wait for the second version. WHO counts "asymptomatic spread" as people who NEVER show any symptoms, not, as has been commonly assumed by governments and other health organizations, people who don't have symptoms WHEN they spread the disease but who then develop them.

 

If true, it is great news because people who are unaware they were infected can't unknowlingly spread the virus. However, the key quote from the scientist is "From the data, IT SEEMS..." Or they are seeing a pattern that they need to test more. But I'm not going to be a dick about it and hope it really is as simple as feel sick-stay home to beat this.

And as Justin mentioned, there is a sizeable amount of people who are saying "I'll risk it."

 

I don't think so.

Seems like they're treating them the same.
