The Coronavirus thread

Quote: Mission146

We might mean different things when we use terms such as, "Disputing facts," as well as other terms, but I don't think a person automatically has to be a disputer of facts to be a political extremist. I will say the two often go hand in hand, though.

I agree
Disputing facts is not extremist
Its super duper extremist.
Yup
We got the super duper extremists right on this board

Its the right fighting vaccines
Vaccines are way way more important then testing
I've never been tested and doubt I ever will get tested
Testing won't do jack for me. I mask and socially distant.
Was gonna eat at a restaurant today. With Omicron, takeout
Why so hyped up on testing?
It's a total non-issue in my life
Vaccinated and boosted is whats important and righties are fighting vaccines tooth and nail.

I am a "rightie" and I support vaccines and boosters but not mandates by the Federal government. Those should be done, as has survived challenges, at the State level.

I did not say that testing was more important. I said that the President promised more testing and he failed to deliver. It was a promise within h. He is power to keep.

How does someone as smart as you are dismiss testing as part of the equation?

Testing is important. We had tests. Tested a family member. Positive (double vaxxed 24 year old). Took immediate action. Isolated him. Followed CDC guidelines. Tested others. All vaxxed x2, most x3. Stopped the spread within the family, one of the danger areas of spread.

Who knows which vaxxed person who gets a bad variant will suffer from severe sickness or even death? Not you and not me. Since we don't know, we try to stop the spread.

Testing is critical. Even with the vaccines injected.

Get those contracts signed and production rolling! You'll still be behind but making progress....

You are.

Fact: President Biden promised more testing.

Fact: President Biden has failed to deliver up to this point.

Fact: President Biden has the ability to deliver more tests.

Rumor: President Biden may have turned down a plan to get 700 million tests as part of a proposal in October.

You refuse to acknowledge the first three facts. Then you toss in some "those people did this"....

Future GOP Presidential nominee Ron FatSantis thinks too much testing is a bad thing.

I'm sorry. He could do a better job. I agree; it is herding cats. He ran for the job saying that he would do better than Trump. By the numbers, he has not. More deaths and more infections on his watch. I don't blame him for that but he did ask for the job without any conditions.

He could sit them down and keep a consistent way of messaging how changes are coming as science evolves.

Why won't lefties admit his failures and consistently deflect with criticism of others? There is a word for that...

If I count as a leftie, let the record show that I have criticised Biden for his messed up exit of Afghanistan, For his failure to act promptly on testing, for his political lack of savvy in admitting the latter and for his apparent mental decline.
But he's still better than the guy that he DID beat.
