    It doesn't.

    Neither does testing others, owing to the incubation period and the possibility of false negatives.

    Don't ask then

    Have you tried to get tested?

    Why won't you answer? It seems to be very important to you. I don't give a flying fuck about it, but you seem to care.

    no it doesn't

    why should I worry about a virus where 98% of people who get it are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms?

    Do you get tested for the common cold?

    have you gotten your chines virus test yet? You seem to be very frightened of it

    There's no excuse for this, but #COVID45 will try it anyways. He really doesn't want a lot of testing, which will show that the number of active cases is far higher now than what is currently being posted.

    Correct. And he screwed up in ramping up testing.

    That's one of the things I've always admired about you -- your kindness and attention to the less-advantaged and mentally-handicapped among us.

    Are you sure? You've never heard about false negatives? How would you enforce this quarantine? What about travelers from abroad? Are you proposing testing every human on the plant on a daily basis?

    Then don't worry about it. If you aren't worried, why are you here talking about it nonstop? The question was 'how does getting tested keep you from getting the virus. I explained it. You, as usual, didn't understand it. I'm not surprised.

    Why is testing so important? Do you actually believe that if you test negative today, you can't become infected tomorrow? What is this bullshit about getting tested? Do we insist people get tested for the flu virus? Why not? In the 2017-2018 season, 61,000 deaths were linked to the Influenza B virus. Did we shut the economy down? Why not?

    Do you think we should test 330 million Americans? Why?

    You know what would be more important? Knowing how many actually died of JUST this virus. Can this virus kill you on its own? Yes or no?

    Testing is better than no testing. So your entire post is just galactically stupid. Why have laws against murder when people still murder other people?

    Because you're trying to make political hay out of a virus.
