Wow Covid Mania is ramping back up in California, so I thought I'd share the One Simple Trick which could end it:
End all Covid testing except in cases of actual symptomatic illness.
This applies both to the vax’d and unvax’d. Covid testing should be limited to clinical diagnosis of disease for the purposes of treatment. That is the true definition of a "case".
As long as we keep testing millions of asymptomatic people every day, labeling them Covid "cases" if they test positive, and then panicking when the numbers rise and fall this ordeal will never end. But what is the purpose? To "Slow the Spread'' you say? Please! That hasn't worked for the last 18 months. It won't start working now. There is a reason the WHO and CDC pandemic plans recommended against contact tracing.
How often have you had a respiratory virus in your system without knowing it when you didn't feel sick? Probably way more often than you think! We've never tested this many people for the presence of an endemic virus before, so we are in completely uncharted territory.
If we can't keep from panicking during this mild summer wave, just wait until this fall.
Anyway 0 and 2...
