I will never get tested unless I'm forced to. If I get sick I stay home until I feel better. That's my way of not spreading whatever I may have.

This is 100% politically motivated, from the right. Namely Trump and his bozos. You can’t keep track of the virus without testing. How will they know where hot spots are now? Stop the testing is an idiot stance by someone who doesn’t believe in science.

Things are looking better right now, but a Fall wave is coming. Now we won’t know where. I hope governors stand up to this nonsense.

All reputable Dr’s and epidemiologists are voicing their opinions against this. They, not Trump, understand the dangers of this disease.

So now you say it is political, but refuse to say it may have been political when people wanted things closed down until after the election. You are letting your politics get in the way. We need to listen to science and the medical professionals at the CDC. The CDC has spoken.

Agreed. When these people get medical degrees they will be able to disagree with the CDC but until then, doing what they say "saves lives".

Be safe all.

I've said all along the numbers are skewed and we are seeing it continue in NY - I know of 3 different cases where people filled out the paperwork for the testing but never had the test actually done and a week later they receive a letter saying they tested positive. 1 was a person who physically presented to the clinic but due to the wait decided to leave before her name was called - the other two filled out the pre-registration paperwork online but never went for the actual testing.

The virus is not political, the virus has been politicized by morons. The shut down was necessary when the number of cases was exploding.

The FDA, and now the CDC can no longer be trusted. They’re being politically motivated now. You Trumpers want a China and North Korea regime.

No thanks!

You are showing you are making it political. You choose to believe the CDC when it came to shutting things down, but now that things are changing, you have decided the CDC is now corrupt. That is YOU being political, not the CDC.

Wrong, I’m not being political. I know the difference between right and wrong.

So now churches can fully open up, along with schools. Sporting events can go on as normal. Well that’s great, we don’t have to worry about transmission in those places.

Look World, our case numbers are WAY down. Never mind the bodies piling up at the morgue, or hospitals being overwhelmed. We now have low case numbers. Why, because we don’t test. Isn’t that genius?!

God bless America! Woohoo!!!

If you test positive - and go to get retested after a certain time and are still positive, they count that as another case.

This is why the Number of Covid is HIGH. The cases are Skewed. So every time you test - if you are positive still and get retested, it's considered a new Case....

IT'S POLITICALLY MOTIVATED - THE DEMS Want to keep this going... This has nothing to do with Trump.. Get that straight.

The Dems want to shut everything down...

Our country use to be a leader in virus control & now the rest of the world laughs at us. Our national leadership on this pandemic is a tragedy & has been since we were told it would just go away soon.

Wonderful.
We're heading towards banana republic status as quickly as we can.
