Husband is an MD. Patients wanting covid tests have significantly increased post-Christmas. Nearly every person testing positive is vaxxed and boosted, including clinic staff.
Same with adjacent hospital and ER. Majority testing positive are fully vaxxed.
There are rapid antigen tests and PCR tests and I’m not sure which are being used, probably both depending on the situation; but the tests are most accurate when people have actual symptoms. Asymptomatic testing is what drives up the numbers and false positives.
As an aside, hubby has seen thousands of patients through the “pandemic” so he can pretty accurately tell the symptoms of someone with actual Covid regardless of the test.
Positive flu cases are also increasing.
If you can't taste an IPA then you have covid. I still wouldn't go to the hospital. I have two friends that got covid never went to the hospital.. just got over it.
This X 1000. WTF do these idiots hope to accomplish? To drive up the FAUX false positive numbers?? To be told by a doctor, "Yes -- YOU'RE SICK."
Honest to God, people have lost their fucking minds. In NoVA, the drug stores are cleaned out of home tests, and those drug stores and urgent care facilities that are attempting to issue C19 tests have DAY-LONG waits.
DO. NOT. COMPLY. Geez, people...
It’s a combination of people have sniffles or flu or a cold and thinking it’s “Omicron” which I honestly don’t even think exists…
People wanting tests because their families are demanding it or because they want out of work for a week or two and they have a new scariant to blame it on…
And also people getting tested because their work is requiring it. That is a lot of the problem that fuels the fire; workplaces demanding tests and sometimes consecutive negative tests even for people who aren’t sick.
again, sitting at work in the ER tonight and we are out the door full of people who "need to be seen" wanting covid tests, no one dying, no one gasping for air, just a cough, some fevers, some have GI symptoms (mostly the kids), clogging up the er which is already short staffed due to the vaxxed nurses being out, rediculous and NO ONE MAKES A CONNECTION who witnesses this
Just drink a few more IPAs. You'll sleep better anyway.
They are ALL false positives (AND false negatives).
"Asymptomatic" is nonsense, since ALL illnesses are DEFINED by their symptoms.
They didn't even LOOK for flu in 2020. So, that is nonsense, as well.
The entire thing is a psychological operation against the People.
Annual "Cold and Flu Season" has not changed. Only the terrorism imposed by the psychopaths has increased dramatically.
How can you have an illness so bad you need to be isolated and treated but you don’t have symptoms?
Let me introduce you to a fake test, that says you're sick even though you are not ...
And even after you’ve been treated you’ll still test positive.
