I have multiple problems with this pandemic, and how it's being handled(at multiple levels). First, it was downplayed BY ALL SIDES! Then, it spread, and suddenly the finger pointing started! So, yes, politics is all over this. Then, it was states' screaming for PPE and ventilators. Now, that's not an issue?! Now, it's the testing and the vaccine(s)! Here's my problem with testing(methods/results). I know of people(more than one) that tested positive, only to then test negative, with no positive antibodies? When they called the county health dept, to state they believe they were a false-positive, as they were asymptomatic, and no antibodies. They were told there is no such thing, their antibody test was too early, and to just quarantine. After 2 more weeks, they re-tested negative, and still no antibodies? I have read multiple articles that say that there is faulty testing, as some tests were tested with only symptomatic people, and rushed thru?! So, with all these false positives, who is removing those numbers from the positive counts? Finally, there is almost NO contact tracing(people aren't being called?), so how are we ever going get hold of this mess? Just wait til the vaccine(s) emerge, and see how the politics gets with that. Oh, and then the election?!
