We continue to push a narrative that the world is ending and that COVID is the worst thing in the history OF our world, yet it isn't.

I wish we would simply stop producing these ******** statistical reports.

CASE load and CASES and DEATHS are all I care about. Positivity rate is so freaking fake and arbitrary.

* Had we had 500 million tests to administer a year ago, the positivity rate would be OUT OF THE WORLD........
* Had we been consistently testing.....CONSISTENTLY testing we would see very little variance in positivity rate.

People are too stupid to understand that.

We should be statistically norming the testing based off of testing last year, not the ABSOLUTE number, because we are testing more.

I don't buy the positivity rates, and I also don't buy the testing statistics. Hell, half the tests are not producing positive outcomes when they are taken in the first place.

Remember Trump said we should stop testing so that we would not have as many positive test results. That is one of the main reasons I voted against Trump.

The bottom line is that our hospitals are filled up with unvaccinated Trump supporters who are using all the resources so that others can't even get taken care of if they are in an automobile accident or having a heart attack. Sorry the ICU is filled up with Covid Patients that refused to get vaccinated.
