This testing shit is just a waste of time. The coronavirus is not new. This group of viruses around for centuries and is the cause of 15% of common colds.

Most of the time it causes a mild infection but because the viruses mutate new strains to which we have no immunity can cause a lot more damage which is what is happening now.

The current strategy of containment is ill advised because the efforts to contain the virus are far more harmful than the virus itself.

The best way to handle this current so called pandemic is simply to allow it to spread throughout the population and this will boost immunity levels.

The immune system needs a workout in order to stay healthy. Trying to lead sterile lives doesn't make you more healthy it actually makes you weaker. This is why Singaporeans who have been mollycoddled end up getting stomach bugs when they go to neighboring countries where hygiene is lacking.

From a scientific standpoint we should let the infection run its course. This will start the process of gaining some immunity to the infection and it will then get milder as time goes by. Of course there will be some that succumb but that's part and parcel of life and true for any disease. We are not yet immortal.

Sadly politics rather than logic and sound science is now the order of the day. We have gone backwards rather than forwards.

This coronavirus is not a one off. New strains will come along and probably with increasing frequency. Containment of the current -19 will make us more vulnerable to new mutations in the future.

I agree to some extent (more on this later) . And I have said it as well. No need to test everybody. Only those who are really sick and if it makes a difference to how you would manage the patient.

Which is why we do NOT screen for influenza in every tom dick or Sally who has fever and cough.

Covid19 is new. Hence one of the objectives was to obtain data. Information.

At the beginning no one knew what this was. Is it deadly like SARS or MERS? How infective is it?

Without doing lots of screening to get data on both serious and mild cases you would not know the mortality and morbidity rates.

The fact that it started in Wuhan China did NOT help because the rest of the world did not trust their data.

Plus it seemed like it was deadly!

Now that we have much more data and have information from various countries both 3rd world and 1st world we kind of have an idea what we are dealing with. It has only been about 3 months since this whole covid19 started.

It takes time.

Slowly you will see this blow over.

As I have said we should publish the covid19 data concurrently with influenza data. So that the people have a basis for comparison versus just on the word of someone's opinion.

Going forward this should be how WHO reports all outbreaks of novel viruses. Report it together with data on influenza.

I suspect one reason why this wasnt done is because if you report data on influenza it will cause the same panic as covid19 is maybe even worse!

Ignorance is bliss.

The media is also largely at fault for playing this thing up. Fuckers!

Now why I do not TOTALLY agree with Sam that we should stop screening and testing every suspected case is because we still need to be vigilant. Remember that Covid19 could MUTATE.

And if the data shows that it has started behaving differently it could spell either that the outbreak has ended or it has become more serious.

So unfortunately, we should continue to screen.

What WILL change is that eventually the FUCKING MEDIA will move on to other news topics because people are losing interest in the same old stuff. And then this will blow over.

it is the FUCKING MEDIA's fault!!!!

Why Is the US Apparently Not Testing for the COVID-19 Coronavirus?
"Testing for coronavirus is not available yet in New York City."
