...why would anyone stand in line for a test with no treatment available for the sickness?

"Uh, yeah- you're positive. You'd have been better off staying in bed, resting and resting instead of wasting your time waiting in line because there's jack shit we'll do for you".

If you feel shitty, you already know you're sick. What's the point? Big Pharma and the medical incentives don't give a shit until you're going into a hospital and then can rake $$$.


Waste of fucking time.

    It's the people who come in contact with someone, and then in order to work, need to show proof they are not The Vid positive. I think someone in the Max Carnage thread pointed out 60% of people who have tested positive have had no symptoms at all. Of course that leads to the strong potential for false positives but, but, yeah still.

    Total failure of the American medical bureaucracy. No therapeutics recommended outside of Tylenol and wait until your are so sick that your plunging oxygen levels require hospitalization. Wealthy individuals like Rogers or Rogan can find a friendly doctor and get an Ivermectin prescription (or the tablets), a prednisone prescription and a recommendation for taking zinc and Vitamin D. Plus some are waiting for 2 days after waiting hours for the test to get a result. The average Joe, gets nothing. Testing for "cases" was supposed to be the key and a year into the dementia patients administration and trillions spent, we have a shortage of a government controlled product (the tests). Burn the CDC to the ground and save the $8 billion a year.

    Mass formation psychosis has been fact checked. It's a myth.

    Also, the great toilet paper panic of 2020 was a reasonable and understandable action in response to the facts.

    Yes, irrational government top down policy and over involvement has created the issue. Same as always.

    Story related yesterday where a middle aged woman went to her Doc to discuss what their protocol would be if she got sick. "Nothing". You go home and if you get really sick, go to hospital and they will "treat" you.

    Woman eventually gets covid, nearly dies. She goes to see her Doc to let her know that she nearly died because she's a coward. Doc says if she were to treat she could lose her license. Again, lady said you're a coward. Doc starts to cry. Lady leaves and gets a new Doc. Mine told me he has no protocol. Go to hospital if you get really sick.

    This is all criminal. I hope someday down the road, people are on trial for their actions. Doc's making medical decisions to use meds off label has never been criminalized. They do it ALL THE TIME!

    Verapamil has been used as a prophylactic for cluster headaches. It's indicated for hypertension.

    I hope you realize how insane that sounds.

    And how does anyone else know if you were in contact with someone? JFC this whole thing has made me lose complete faith in our nation. What was left of the little faith I had.

    A virus so horrible you have no symptoms or symptoms resembling a cold but will wait in line for hours to see if you should stay home.

    What in the actual fuck.
