Good news everybody. Or at least for college students heading back to school this fall
semester, the Trump administration has your back and they don't want to see, you have
to be tied down with all this lengthy coronavirus testing and what not that silliness. They
just want you to be able to show back up on campus, go to class, maybe enjoy a nice party
that evening, who knows, but they don't want you to have to get tested. That's just a waste
of time. They say here actually, um, is the exact quote from, uh, Admiral Brett, uh, galore.
If that's how you pronounce it. Assistant secretary at the department of health and
human services, and he's in charge of COVID-19 testing strategy. And here is what he has
to say about the idea of testing college students for COVID-19. When they return to campus this
year, here it is in general testing people before going back to the university, it's
not a strategy that we recommend, nor does the CDC recommend B because you're only negative
for that one moment. You could be positive the next day, and it doesn't relieve any responsibility
about wearing a mask and doing all those kinds of things.
Why bother getting tested folks? Cause if you get tested and it's negative, you could
still catch the virus. Oh my God. Thank God. This man told us that because I'm sure every
single person on the planet thought if you tested negative, that meant you were clean
and good to go for the rest of your life. Oh no. Okay. I'm sorry. Apparently nobody
thought that you just don't want to see the numbers go up is what it is. That's what you're
doing. That's what your whole administration has been about from day one. Let's hide the
truth from people. So they think it's not as bad as it is. That's what this plan's about.
But he did say this is the dumbest part of it. He's open to a pool testing. Oh, what's
that you're asking, excuse me, pool testing. And this is how he describes it.
You take a bunch of people and they all get a blood sample and you put all the blood samples
together and dope and blood sample. So it comes like super blood. Then you test that
super blood. And if it's negative, then everybody in the pool is negative. Right. Makes sense.
Right. Except if it detects Corona virus, then you then have to go back and individually
test every single person who donated blood to the pool, which negates the purpose of
the pool. Cause you're still having to test all those people. You know what, what I don't,
I don't know. I don't even want to get into the logistics of just going around with the
cup and having everybody put their blood in the pool. That's ridiculous. Because still,
even if everybody came back negative, you still went through all of that trouble with
each individual person to take their blood.
God, why not just test that blood right there for, for COVID-19 you can do that. You know,
you can do that. You don't have to say, okay, I got more blood. Where's the, where's the
bucket so I can put it in here so we can test it as a pool later. Just test the little sample
that you have that actually would save time.
Testing college students. When they show back up on campus is going to lead to a resurgence.
That is what is going to Happen. You have to test things, you have to isolate. You have
to contact trace, and yes, you have to keep social distancing and wearing the masks. That's
that's something that's going to go on for a very long time. And honestly, I hope it
becomes a bigger part of our culture. If you sick, if you got the sniffles, if you got
a cold throw on a mask, before you go outside, let's stop the spread of other diseases that
may not necessarily be fatal, but they do cost us billions of dollars in lost productivity
every single year. And in general, make us feel like crap for a couple of weeks. We can
prevent that folks. We can cut down
On it, but that's yeah.
You know, that's in the future. Once we get things back under control, we're not going
to get things under control with idiots like this, calling the shots about testing. There
is no reason to not test these kids. Some of them are going to come back to campus with
COVID-19. They're going to be non-symptomatic and they're going to spread it to others.
And this could 100% be preventative. I said, if we just tested them before they showed
up to class.
