Because NOBODY in government, and NOBODY in the WHO or CDC, and NOBODY in the media, will ever admit they overreacted.

I think they were calling it an overabundance of caution at one point. Haven’t heard that term in weeks.

Because the first one that proclaims, "Oops ! My Bad." Is in line for earth shattering lawsuits. Once they started down this road, you have to play it to the end-It takes a while to develop who to blame.

When our Director of Public Health started the shutdown, he said the best thing that could happen is people telling me several months from now that I over-reacted.

Was it worth it to put 10's of millions of people out of work, forcing 100's of companies into bankruptcy and/or closing their doors forever, destroying millions of lives (personal bankruptcies, divorces, etc.), just to save a "few" lives?

When did the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many?

I'm talking about what happened in my county, not the whole rest of the world. Make whatever you want to of his statement.

My commentary wasn't directed at you and/or your situation.

A health network just to south of us cut 236 people loose and closed 2 clinics from the histeria and total loss of business they encountered. Along with the loss of people, pay cuts have been Instituted for those remaining. Heatlh benefits have been "adjusted" also. Futher plans have them outsourcing more and combining other services(aka they're closing some rehabs and therapy centers). So I'm sure the cuts will continue.

Those aren't "riots", and there has been no "looting". A section of the citizenry are simply celebrating the end of cold and flu season. Duh.

Well SHIT-STICKS !!

A girl in my office went to a party, got exposed to COVID, and has tested positive.



She is 100% asymptomatic. She took the test because she heard after the party, that someone there was exposed and since we manufacture them now, we can do it for free. It was a 3 day incubation from what we know. She hit positive on nasal and throat swabs.

The entire office tested negative Tuesday. We are testing again tomorrow, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. If all pass, we are good. If anyone fails, we all go home until further notice.

On the upside, we definitely have a real world case study that our tests work.

She's had 4. We have our EUA ( I think that's the acronym) from the FDA and have sold about $60,000.00 in a week and a half. It's currently configured for CLIA lab usage.
