You have a virus that statistically, 99.x percent of people will survive if they even catch it. Elites and the media scared the crap out of people (excluding this fact) for almost two years. You then give them home test kits. Guess what happens next?
Just ask Vermont (reformatted).
Dr. Rick Hildebrant is RRMC’s medical director. He says some people who test positive with a rapid test go to the emergency room looking for a PCR test. The Vermont Hospital Association says it’s hearing similar stories from other parts of the state.
Hildebrant says those who are asymptomatic and receive a positive antigen test should stay home and reach out to their primary care provider. He says the only time to go to the ER is if you have a positive test and are very sick.
Hildebrant says the flood of asymptomatic people is preventing others in need of immediate care from getting it.
Too late, idiots. You created the panic, fed it, and allowed it to fester. You promulgated policy – often with enforcement mechanisms – requiring people to alter their behavior, their lives. You quarantined children whose family members “tested positive” with no symptoms, often for weeks.
They now have access to home test kits that are, arguably, not terribly accurate, and your response is, “hey, unless you’re really sick, …”
That sailed, and you sank it.
Over on this side of the Connecticut River, the political elite has been bragging about how they are efficiently feeding the same hysteria they’ve created with DIY home (or rapid) test kits.
After…refusing to protect health care employees from termination unless they got the useless vaccine that didn’t do any of the things the experts promised and may have made a few things worse.
People in Vermont are rushing to get an equally incapable un unreliable PCR test.
I’ve not yet seen reports of overwhelmed ERs, but we should all expect it, and people who truly need care won’t be able to get it again.
Another regular feature of the political response to COVID19.
And…just saw this in the news. NH Health Officials are urging anyone who visited family or friends (attending a holiday gathering) over Christmas get tested.
Telling asymptomatic people to get tested is not a good public health policy, stop doing it.
