I get tested just for fun. I'm just curious to see if I've had it. So far no.

I always make sure to not let them file against my insurance either. I don't want to incentivize the Government apparently having funded Chinese research to create the virus in the first place.

Hey, Why not start a thread with that comment? Oh wait, you did! So far the only 2 posts you have made since you since you joined the forum in 2011. Where have you been for 11 years? Where do these accounts come from. :1rotfl:

If the omicron strain is more flu like than delta.....with less need for hospitalization and less incidences of death....why the "seemingly" panic to get tested?

The demand during the regular covid strain and then the delta strain during 2021 did not seem to result in such demand?!

You cannot underestimate the gullibility of the masses.

testing hysteria
 
from reading many of the responses, I'm glad to see that so many have figured out the hysterical nonsense being pushed by the WH in their attempt to control and divert attention from their socialist/communist activities

It's called fearmongering. It's all about government control

donassaid 01-04-2022 06:33 AM

You nailed it

The unvaccinated are being lumped in with people who had Covid early pre vacc and have better resistance than the vaccinated….most conversations about this are muted by media that take advertising money from big pharma….if the vaccine is so good why do you need 3 or 4 of them? Think about it….Covid is leaving us as evidence is it’s half life potency….. but capitalism is going to squeeze every last dollar out of it…..and yes as a prior poster noted….people are stupid…

By the way

BTW …. the government, big pharma and insurance companies now have everyone’s DNA….convenient right? That nose swab well…. We’re just going to keep that on record for future NIH studies…. Thanks Dr. F

If the DPT vaccine is "so good", why did we all get 4 doses of that???? If the polio vaccine is "so good", why do we give 3 doses of that???? Sorry, but not all vaccines are a one stop shopping trip. And what is a "half life potency" of a viral pandemic????(Sounds intelligent, but unfortunately it's not)

Don’t worry about that, there will be no unknown soldier. Since the Vietnam war everyone that has been in the military, incarcerated, hospitalized or had a blood test has been DNA sequenced. Most people falling for those Heritage searches like 23andMe have WILLING paid for a saliva smear to be analyzed. This information is now part of the company and sold to insurance, pharma OR highest bidder. Enjoy Q much

We are trying to come back on line and…….Air travel requires testing, cruise lines require testing, medical workers require testing, etc. (some of the demand is not self imposed). We get our tests @ $40 a pop and hear it is going up to $50 soon. Believe me we don’t relish that added expense to fly or cruise

Have some more cool aid….

Back to the original question: The statistics show the same number of tests being preformed now as were performed back in September and before that in last December. Were there long lines for those too or has something else changed?
