Is It Time To Consider Mandatory Testing?

Diversity Makes Greatness
The war on COVID is not going well.

COVID got the jump on us by sneaking up on us and sneakily spreading undetected before we knew it.

It took a long time for us to get effective testing, but the tests are not easy or convenient. Still it gave us a way to know something about where the virus is, and is not, short of people getting deathly ill or simply dying.

But since the tests are pricey and unpleasant, we don't use them very extensively.

The most effective weapon the virus has against us is it's stealth capability to go undetected before the damage is done.

We finally came up with vaccines. Yaay!

That should have been the solution.

But it hasn't been; because not everybody has participated, and the effectiveness diminishes over time.

Despite wide use of vaccines, the virus still spreads.

That brings us back to the original problem. We can't see the virus. We don't know who has it and who doesn't.

If we knew who is infected, those people could quarantine so they don't spread it to others. That would totally shut the virus down and stop the spread.

Logically, we should consider regular mandatory testing for everybody.

Effective use of testing and quarantining would absolutely end the pandemic.
 
Distractions arent working anymore. The whole world sees that your man and the cackling old whore who stands beside him are a couple of imbeciles. ;)

Unconstitutional.
Tests do not prevent infection.
Covid19 is an airborne virus. It's already in the air everywhere and on every surface. Deal with it.

It’s impossible to eradicate a virus that gets around vaccines at the rate the CCP virus does. The goal is to go from pandemic to endemic.

If every human on the planet acted in unison it could be eradicated.

I agree that is highly unlikely but I do think we can get it under control enough to get our normal lives back.

We've got to make that our goal and do our best to make that happen.

It's just like making America her greatest. We simply have to act in a united way and pull together toward the common goal against a common enemy.

For a bug with a 99.8% survival rate lol?

Work very hard on your persuasion skills.

They will suggest government built ‘homes’ to quarantine people next. Wait for it.

The government does need to use our combined power to solve the housing crisis with the goal of maximum home ownership, but I don't see how people can quarantine together unless they contract the virus simultaneously and normally cohabitate.

The carrot is out there. We all want this thing gone.

I see the problem as a matter of getting those who are pretending it is not a problem to recognize that it is and join the effort to work against it.

Persuasion alone does not appear to be sufficient.

The government is going to have to act.

Along with the carrot, there will have to be the stick.

Such as the little wooden one with a bit of cotton on the end, going up a lot of noses.

One way to avoid that might be to train a lot of dogs and employ their keen sense of smell.

After all. They call them man's best friend. What are friends for if they cannot be relied upon in a time of need?
