For sure. I’m just saying that would increase the number of people we show that are infected.

will come and go for most people. A bad cold at worst.
But as the numbers increase it will increase the panic until people realize that for most people realize it’s not the end of the world. Some people will be hit hard and thats a terrible thing. But it will be a small %.
Define small.
I do expect as the numbers of deaths increase, Panic will set in.

Even with tests, there will be thousands out there spreading it. The "lack" of tests is a political topic for liberals.
It’s a scientific topic for epidemiologists, something you have no clue about. SK would be totally screwed if they were as lackadaisical as you are about this.

Not an issue when you have drive up testing ala emission testing.

But apparently you are an epidemiologist..

People already don’t quarantine themselves when they have the flu. Just because someone knows they have it, if they don’t really feel bad they won’t be self quarantining. You know human nature better than that.

Some would, some wouldn’t, but plenty would be sensible enough for it to help make a difference.

No, but I do listen to them on this subject, unlike you, and did take public health courses at uga, unlike you.

Proud recipient of an A average in People, Parasites, and Plagues at UGA. 
Among many biology classes. That class was annoyingly harder than the class title made it seem like.

Oh yeah? Well I took journalism courses at UGA unlike you so I know exactly how this is being dishonestly reported. See how that works? I took statistics too...

Now I finally understand why the zips walk around with masks, so they don't have to cancel life.

They would probably just as screwed as us if they had our land mass and our population. You keep ignoring those two important factors for some reason.
Lot easier to distribute tests and get results back when your country is small and you have 15% of the USA population.

Compared to an actual expert? Not in the same universe.
Compared to the average shite poster? Pretty much.

Land mass isn’t the issue. Instead, it’s The availability of tests and strategy of testing. We should have been capable of doing that in every major city no later than 2 weeks ago.

Ok, go for it. Can’t wait to see your mastery of journalism.

Lol you don't think the size of the area you have to distribute tests over and the number of people in the country affect your testing strategy?
C'mon man. Getting tests for a 37 million population that has 20% infected vs 335 million with 20% infected are two different animals.

Dude, look at the actual testing numbers. We're comically inept.
