Simple! They want their sheep to think they are doing something. The visual of spending money is important than the substance.

The numbers. We accept what we are fed. As far as I know our country, and/or the world has not gathered valid numbers as a base line. It would require a large group covering all age, race etc and recording the number of positive covid 19s in that group. If, we recall, originally, to get a test you had to be showing symptoms. Using that as an average baseline of course the only way for it to go is down. As to money, effort etc. Fortunately it is not my job, a thankless job to be sure, to make the decisions but, in my opinion spending limited resources, yes, everything has a limit, on tests or vaccines clearly I would vote for vaccines. Aside, a covid test. What does it even mean? You could arrive to get the test done and catch covid 19 while you are there. People, all of us, including me are in a panic. Sadly, read the posts, many remind me of the movie Titanic. Women and children first. Hey, Mildred which one of your wigs look best on me? |

Imagine if they said we know from history, this too will run it's course. Most of the deaths are old people-me. We can fix the imbalance of social security and control population growth and just let it run. We all tend to think what is good for me and to heck with anyone who is not me. We all, at least I do, find it easier to complain than to actually do anything. |

Testing is a small portion of the plan, and seems to be aimed at insuring safe public schools. 2. Money......the money proposed is to get our economy on the road once again, and to help the states who were asked to do so much that was not allowed in individual state budgets. I applaud discussion and disagreement on the plan, but please read the plan and know of what you speak. States have been under enormous pressure for a year.....economy stretched to a breaking point and all of this began as we had the largest single budget deficit in history. Great to have different opinions, but would love to hear about the differences specifically , instead of a simple trite comment. YES....money needs to be spent......not one economist that I am aware of would disagree. |

It’s because 55% of the country have “natural immunity” because they contracted Covid! Simple. Vaccines do not prevent one from getting or giving Covid!

Waste of money to test.
Numbers are coming down but not due to vaccines, not enough people have been vaccinated. Spend spend spend. |

This "national plan" certainly is. Thanks for responding.

And of course the 55% speaks to your understanding of numbers and evidence. There have been 28 million positive covid tests as of today. While some people certainly had Covid and were never tested, and some of the tested have false positives, the population of the US is 328 million, and if 55% have been already infected that would require 180 million people to have had Covid. Simple. |

Agree
Should focus solely on vaccine issue as this was the previous administrations plan and made the most practical sense.
FYI had a relative back North test negative feeling very poorly went back two days later to only test positive - no change in course of treatment recommended (since they are younger just watch closely). Therefore testing really is not very helpful and wasteful for those not having difficulty. Vaccines can prevent the disease and transmission so why wouldn't that be the sole imperative focus immediately? |

Exactly what part of the plan do you dislike ? Details please
Those who continually harp on testing forget a lot and do not read. Testing is there to get our schools back |

or just any National plan would not be good. As a true conservative, I certainly do not advocate all of it, but welcome any plan to get us off the snide. But in any case, you do not feel compelled to read it, but only to criticize totally, and that is your right. This thread was supposed to be about testing. Folks still going back and forth without even acknowledging the context of the testing part, which is to be used to get our schools up and running on a steady national basis. So much has been dumped on the states in the past year, helping them seems a great idea. Everyone is complaining about the schools, yet oppose a national plan to get serious about getting them back where they belong. |
