Inconsequential? No. That destroyed your credibility. Am overblown testing phase with way to sensitive of a test? Absolutely.

Here are the facts and I hope we can reach agreement. Corona virus can be incredibly dangerous to the susceptible people. Really this is no different from any other disease. All diseases have a proclivity for certain populations. Influenza is an incredibly dangerous disease to the susceptible populations (remember lots of us have said from the get it’s just the flu bro and been panned for it). We vaccinate against the flu for two reasons. To create herd immunity to protest the population and to protect the individual from a potentially dangerous disease. I am required to be vaccinated for my job in order to prevent me from infecting people who might otherwise have a really tough time with influenza. I will also get the corona virus vaccine for two reasons. To protect me as I am around it daily. And to protect my family and patients so I don’t spread it

I don’t disagree in the least that the reaction is completely irrational. There should be no shirt down nor should there be masks etc. it’s ridiculous. But we have come to the point in America where we are majority sniveling snowflake and want to live in a bubble. Life has risks. The whole game of life is mitigating risks with an unacceptable profile and taking the risks that have a good reward profile.

This is the second disease that has been weaponized as a political function. The first one was HIV. We clearly are at a fork in the road. We either shall regain our American spirit and independence including celebrating American can do to bring forth a vaccine quickly and safely and create therapeutics. Or we can accept being discrete to and losing freedom from increasingly small things.

But this is not an inconsequential disease. I believe that close to 100,000 Americans have dies from this (about 50% of what is reported). But let’s discuss the facts. I share your frustration. We can figure this out using free market and conservative principles not the government mandates.

The disease has been consequential; the reactions to the the disease have brought even more devastating consquences.
