Why test? Does it change treatment? NO…it’s a cold. Stay home if you’re sick. Pretty simple.

For some it is a cold, for others it is a life threatening situation. A virus mutates and changes. If you want to gamble that a stronger string will not kill you, that is your choice. But, don't infect others in the process.

That’s pretty much it.

It’s seems to me that those that post their anti-vax anti mask propaganda at us , sure change their tune when they are about to be put on a respirator due to Covid from their risky behavior . Who are they kidding?
And how many of them who were asymptomatic walked around , with no regard for others , and spread Covid through out our community causing some to die who got infected by the
ones who refuse to follow the CDC guidelines. These menaces to our community our kinda like the food preparers who changed their babies diapers and come to work without washing their hands mentality.

Tis strange it seemed to almost "go away" and now is re-emerging.

DUH! “Conspiracy theorists” predicted this shortly after the mid-terms. Gearing up.

A freaking cold???? Tell that to the over 3 million people who died worldwide from this virus.

Covid is here to stay, get used to it. I am keeping my paper masks because I may run out of toilet paper, no other reason to keep them. I would not be surprised to see a “resurgence” before any upcoming political votes. Got to keep people scared and malleable. Works every time!

[OhioBuckeye]

Our president promised to have Covid under control after 6 months when he took office, it’s been almost 4 yrs.. Come on Man!

I would like to know what politicians "bring up Covid" as a mechanism to win an election. None of them will get my vote! Profitting from illness and death is a low blow. But then again, it never happened right? Just the opposing party making up stories. I guess I should have my eyes checked. I thought I saw dead bodies lining the streets on nearly every news channel.

Since the cotton masks do not seal to your face, I would think that adding a "filter" (whatever that may be) is pretty much useless...

A mask can keep YOU safe if they filter out the viruses. Unfortunately, the virus size is smaller than what the mask was designed to filter...

Probably best to stay home indoors. Keep others outside the house. Even that it is not 100% safe, but better than not.
