The stupidity of the view that the reason the COVID numbers go up is because of more testing

[still_one]

They seem not to grasp that with or without testing, if a person has Covid it isn’t because they are being tested

1. I have made the point here several times that

the abortion controversy would be eliminated altogether if women never got pregnancy tests. If they weren't tested they wouldn't be pregnant, and therefore there would be no demand for abortions. Of course the species would die out because nobody would ever have a baby again if no pregnancy tests = no pregnancies.

2. Well said. Your example is a perfect way to illustrate the point. Thanks

[Nay]

10. It's sad that we need to make another example to illustrate a perfectly clear point -- a point

that was obvious in the first utterance of Trump's statement. Can it be true that his crazy statement made sense to
ANYBODY else?? If so, we are well and truly effed.

11. unfortunately, I am afraid you are right

3. It would only be a case if there was a HUGE increase in the number of people tested

because we wouldn't know about the asymptomatic or presymptomatic people. But, if the amount of people tested is relatively the same then that's just plain stupid.

A friend of mine told me her friend won't wear a mask because she is "afraid of carbon monoxide poisoning from breathing back her own air". OMG this is what we are dealing with.

4. Oh, that explains all the fainted bodies littering the grocery stores

Not.

5. I hope you informed your friend the difference between carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide

6. a friend of a friend. Yeah I was laughing a lot from that one

7. In Michigan we're testing more people than ever..........

..... and our cases are dropping.

12. I am sure it has nothing to do with social distancing and wearing masks in public

[marmar]

13. Of course not.

14. I give a lot of accolades to Governor Whitmer, and her leadership throughout this crisis

9. Stage 4 ignorant, all that we can do for them is pray

The remark is so ignorant that you know the person making such a claim would never understand even the simplest explanation. It is just jaw dropping stupidity that is best to turn and walk away.
