It's Amazing The Fact That There Are No Tests Available Isn't Pissing Off More People

[DanieRains]

I live in Seattle, may have been exposed (probably have anyway) and can't get a test.

People should be really pissed off, and they aren't.

What a country.

1. In a week or two, they may be really freaking

if we trend like other countries.

2. People are really pissed about that. It's going to be a campaign staple.

Our nominee will have to hammer over and over on the fact that Trump greatly worsened the pandemic by firing the Pandemic Response Team in the White House, and by blocking access to the WHO test so his cronies could profiteer by kludging up a hokey test of their own.

3. They may be in the cloud of unknowing.

They may be in the cloud of unknowing or graduates of Dunning-Kruger University. I don't know. Of course, watching Fox news and giving credence to the White House doesn't really help matters.

Give it time. When it is swatting them right in the face, something may give.

Me?

4. Count me as one that is pretty pissed ...

this whole "social distancing" two-step .. is basically a fig leaf try to cover up the fact that we're STILL not doing the TESTING !!

It is clearly impossible that all of us will (or should) be staying at home for the next 2 months .. so the only thing that really makes any sense as far as addressing the issue, is to identify those with the virus .. and isolate !

And, yes .. that means millions of tests .. for sick and healthy alike. Test at schools, test in drive thrus, test the military, test at work ... Just get it done!

5. We should just stay at home for the rest of our

WHOLE FUQQIN' LIVES, NO??!21!

Forgive my slovak pronunciation of the bad word I just used.

6. Remember all the reasons we have to vote in our primary and general elections!!!

7. Not really; Americans are probably used to substandard health care

considering that most people won't go to the hospital unless they're literally dying because they're afraid the cost will bankrupt them and people will just go to work sick because they'll get fired if they don't? "no tests for COVID-19" is just a continuation of normality.

8. K&R, I mentioned on another thread that is alarming some people aren't more alarmed

9. It is pissing us off, but there's not much we can do! We can't protest because of the virus! n/t

I have some of the symptoms and I want a damn test! I have children and grandchildren i have been avoiding!
I work for an Asian pharma company and have to deal with airmail lab packages from all over the world every day!
I am essential personnel so I'm expected to be at work! Our business is producing IV solutions and we can't keep up!
