A quick rant: Some young people who don't give a damn about Coronavirus -- they think

they are invincible, they are low risk, they say they aren't worried. People with this cavalier attitude really piss me off. They are the ones who won't take any precautions, they are in the bars, the nightclubs, getting close to other people, possibly picking up the virus, passing it on to other folk, some vulnerable and at high risk of serious complications and death. Wake up, and take some fucking responsibility!

I wish this was a joke, but New York City has tested only 119 people.

WTF! Less than 1600 people have been tested in the whole nation and 119 in NYC, now declared a state of emergency.

People are going to die, a lot of people, because of the lack of testing. The way to control it is, in part, is through quick and accessible testing to rapidly identify who is infected and to isolate those people. This is not happening. One infected person can potentially lead to the infection of thousands. How many around us are infected? We don't have a clue.

With the incompetence of this president and his bunch of imbeciles, don't be surprised if the death toll in America becomes the worst on the planet. The blood is on their hands.





Testing to determine whether the pending cases are confirmed as positive or negative can take hours or days, depending on what lab performs the test.
