I am saying that testing for CoronaVirus at THIS POINT is pretty useless, except from a statistical point.

In the Beginning, testing WAS crucial......to try to identify who had it and get them into quarantine.

But NOW, probably millions have it. Some w/o symptoms, some with.

And until their symptoms get bad enough, they'll still go out and about, getting groceries, etc.

And most likely the only ones that will get tested is the ones with symptoms anyway.

I don't have symptoms (yet), and I have no intention of getting 'tested'.....wtf for?

And if I DID start to have symptoms, I would do what I could to stop it:

But I'm not going to go out and get tested.....I'd pretty much assume I had it and quarantine myself.

So what's the point of testing?

I've been wearing a mask for over a month when I go out. I don't want to get it....and I certainly don't want to spread it.

If worst came to worst, I'd probably get a test at a hospital...and again, what purpose would the test itself serve, except from a statistical standpoint.

Now, if they made EVERYBODY get a test, then it would probably be a good thing.

But the BOTTOM LINE is to STOP THE FREAKING SPREAD.........hence wearing masks/scarves/whatever is WAY more important than 'testing'.......
