Well that’s a nice theory , testing is driving up Covid cases , really ?
If people do not know they have Covid and do not quarantine watch what happens to the numbers .

Yes, REALLY!

It's pretty simple---the more you test, the more positive results you get. It's not rocket science.

Because this is not the flu
Or just a cold. Also if you don’t feel well you must get tested so you don’t spread it to other people. If you spread this to immune compromised people or people with underlying conditions they may end up in the hospital or worse death. Testing prevents spreading. Children are now getting Covid with the new strain many of these children are ending up in the hospital. Remember this virus stays in your body and can manifest itself in many other ways later on. One small example is the chickenpox virus and then shingles. Do you have Covid hopefully testing well prove that and you will be considerate of your friends family and neighbors quarantine for a few days when you go out wearing mask please stop close talk or sit at a dining table even outside for a while.
I’m not saying don’t go shopping or go out just don’t get close to people Please wear a mask to protect other people because you don’t know what their health situation is. Even if you do think it’s like the flu that could also kill someone who has underlying health condition or is immune compromised.

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?!

The PCR test has had a FDA recall since July. The false positive results is the driving force behind the evil narrative. When people do a deep research into the reasons behind the con-vid 19, 20 ,21,22, etc. Please take care of your health, because the government/corporations DO NOT CARE ABOUT HUMANS. In 90 years they have not found a cure for cancer..Oh BTW if you claim to heal cancer you will lose you license. Many doctors have been silenced.

What I said was Covid is a virus that can come out later on and manifest itself in a different way Such as chickenpox May come back and manifest itself has shingles. Mononucleosis can possibly come back and manifest its way and Epstein bar virus. We don’t know about Cove it but we do know that they are all long haulers who will have symptoms for an extended period of time. I know people who still can’t taste or smell for two years You don’t get that with a cold or the flu

I realize that some people need to be tested - health care workers, teachers, international travelers, and a few others.

I don't see the point for the majority of us if asymptomatic. If one tests today and is negative the peace of mind gained only last until their taillights clear the parking lot. A person is just as likely tomorrow to contact the virus as they were today.

WAY too many people buy the administration/media hype and just rush to follow the crowd.

Why are you saying no no no. You totally agreed with me about The chickenpox virus and the mono virus. And I never ever said all viruses can manifest themselves is something else. You totally agreed with me
