ok here we go,it has only been a matter of time before i have had enough of the terrible reporting of this.not only is it mentally stressing to hear this 24hours a day,on our news stations.,schools,newspapers,social media,i guess the powers that be want to make sure we know!of course the news wants is sensationlism,that is how they make money and they do it under the guise of helping us.I understand this is a very real,serious disease,is there someone out there that doesn't?there always be part of the public that "KNOWS" it isn't and won't wear masks and socially distance.we can't help those lost souls.that being said ,I want to know of all the people tested,how many people tested negative?ordoesevery one test Positive?I do know 2 people went to get tested and when they got up to the tent after they filled out their paperwork theyran out of tests,a week later they recieved a letter that stated they tested positive,they didn't take it,what are the true facts?we are being told what to believe,it just confuses people like myself???

Most of the times, things run smoothly. Out of the millions, the sensationalist media picks out the ones to scare us. I have numerous friends who were exposed to co workers, tested and were negative, and never had symptoms. Their test results were correct. As usual, with everything, the media reports on the one Rotten potato in the bin of thousands, just like police, races, parents, politicians, medical field. Every group or situation will have about .5% wrong results or “bad people” in that group no matter the color or profession or beliefs. For ex: only 1% MS patients get severe rash on all limbs with one ☝️ f the DMTs. I got the rash. Horrible. Only 1% MS patients get longblasting pneumonia with another DMT; got that, too, pneumonia only went away when stopped DMT. Soooo, can’t rely on random stories. Do what is best for you to stay safe and allow for medical mistakes. At least that’s what this old lady thinks.

Never believe the news anymore! It had become so biased and not really reporting anymore. They don’t research facts and just through things out there that aren’t true. Never apologize for any mistakes or wrong reporting 🤬 Just not like it used to be, it’s all negative and depressive. Ken 🐾🐾🇺🇸

oh my now that shows maybe that they don't even test any of the test to see if positive or not ....something to check into if you know someone higher up that can do something about the phony testing and who they charge for payment for doing the tests should be told also...wow this is terrible...

[starlight5]

The same thing happened to two friends. They had to leave, family emergency, before getting tested but had already filled out the paperwork. Next week, both received positive results!!

Okay, testing is one thing that we obviously don't have perfected yet by any means. Though I heard on the news this morning that there is now a new breathalyzer type test, and how it worked, and that it was not only much more accurate, but also instantaneous. They started describing how that was possible... So listen for it. Of course it is not ready yet, but will be with time.

The main thing to remember, this is REAL. I personally know people who have gotten it, and have made it, but with what long term damages to their body. Dying from COVID-19 sometimes may be a blessing compared to the damages it can do to you, including neurological, some of which sound far worse than M.S.!

AND remember, your mask only helps you a little bit, but it helps others a lot (if you wear it properly). Wearing it on your chin does not good to you or others. Even if you are wearing a N95 properly, it is more effective protecting others than you, at 95%. Since I spent many years running an environmental remediation company, I wear a P100, (an actual respirator, not a mask) when shopping.... A P100 is 99.97% effective. Yes if you are exposed to many 1000's of coronavirus with one cough from another infected person, let's see, 99.97% of say 5,000 nasties is still 150? So, you need to do both, wear a mask, AND social distance. I know of people close who have died. I also know doctors who see COVID patients in the ER everyday, and they can protect themselves. BUT, yes it takes effort. A lot of it. And remember, masks protect OTHERS, probably more than they do you, but if the infected person does too, that helps you.

WE ARE ALL TIRED OF THIS. I'm also tired of taxes....., we must live with it. Or die?

No, you don't have to watch or listen 24/7 to the news. So pick your stations accordingly. I can only take a few minutes of listening to politics too!

A lots of confusion related to the test in many views. First, the person in general develop enough antibody only after 3 days of contact. The initial tests in PCR were very slow and very few had the accuracy for positive Even big pharma and biotech one or two months ago fail a lot to give reliable results. But in the coved-latine, ale technology is moving very fast to the greatest improvement with Scientist all over the world in inter communication for new report and registration of patent of new

i guess it is not knowing that is confusing
