I think the complaints about the lack of Test Kits

meaningful as it would seem.

We are reminded daily that South Korea produced kits
and tests 20,000 people *daily*.

Yet, South Korea has 7,979 confirmed cases of coronavirus
(and still rising) in a population of 51.5 million.

The USA with a shortage of kits is only testing 200-300
people a day.Â* Yet, with a population over 6 times that
of South Korea, the USA has about 1,600 confirmed cases.


How is the availability of test kits helping South Korea?

Other factors and initiativesÂ* in the USA seem to be
more successful.


Someone with a science background would know there aren't enough test
kits/results in the USA to determine anything yet.

But I am sure the Trumpsters appreciate your never-ending asskissing.



My question is what do the tests accomplish that following the
recommendations of the medical and scientific community doesn't?

If you have the symptoms (fever, shortness of breath, cough) assume
you have it and self-quarantine. If severe, contact your doctor.

If people did as they are being asked to do, limit exposure to
large groups along with the actions taken by the federal and local
governments, testing everyone really accomplishes nothing.

This is a case of many expecting government to solve a problem
that people ... if they are willing to sacrifice a bit ... can
solve themselves.
