I tend to agree. But, as with all "newsworthy" items, if it bleeds, it leads. I doubt many people are going to read/hear/watch GOOD news about COVID.
Fear is a powerful motivator, and irrational fear is dangerous. My daughter, a nurse in the Twin Cities, cited several incidents where parents of kids were bringing the kids to Urgent Care or the ERs, asymptomatic, for repeated COVID tests, some apparently on an almost daily basis, plugging up the health care system with people who didn't need to be there while those who really needed care often had to wait. I'm pretty sure we have people (a lot of people) in TV who are testing themselves at home routinely and running to their doctor, urgent care, etc. just to find out that their home test was a false positive.
Wouldn't it be better to wait until you actually have SYMPTOMS before you test yourself?
