  1. This is the first half, people with fevers can’t get tested.

    The next shoe to drop is that if you have a fever, you can’t go back to work until you have been tested to be COVID-19 free on 2 consecutive tests. So you can’t get tested to prove whether you have it, and you can’t get tested to prove you don’t have it any more.

  2. I saw a article about testing in South Korea where they are testing almost everyone. The mortality rate for this bug is on par with the normal flu. When you have only tested 50 patients, and one of the dies, sure it looks bad, you have a 2% mortality rate.

    This is absolutely stupid. We have seen this coming since it was identified in January and there are no tests available. What idiot is in charge here, oh yea, that idiot.
