Every medical expert in every country is predicting a surge that will overwhelm hospitals, it's foolish to believe that the best course of action is to make believe nothing will change. All these shutdowns of shows and businesses are by the owners, no one is going to attend these events with a 10% positivity rate.
If you're sick, get tested - and even then, why? The vast, VAST majority of people who get covid don't end up dead. I have no idea what testing to find out you're positive actually does ... except add to CNN's ticker.

People who know they're at risk - know they're at risk and should take precautions.

Everyone else needs to live their damn life.

Yes. Yes, it does. What about this do you not understand?

How many positive cases end up in the hospital? HOW MANY? Do you know?

Where is the overwhelming surge of hospitalized patients? Apparently some hospitals are "surprised" and "overwhelmed" DESPITE the constant PRATTLING on and on and on about case numbers.

Quire frankly, how the flippedy flip could a hospital claim with a straight face to be overwhelmed by COVID cases?

It shows they are CLUELESS as to what is happening in their own neighborhoods. Numbers are posted all the live long day by multiple agencies. And they should KNOW them. And prepare for them as they watch the trends.

No hospital should claim that they are unprepared. NONE.

I wouldn't trust any hospital claiming to be surprised and overwhelmed by COVID cases to check me for an ear infection. It shows that they literally don't know what they are doing.

Gives posters something to obsess and get angry about, is what I can tell.

Testing without symptoms is idiotic.

It's like making every woman take a pregnancy test every day. Pointless.

It's almost like "if you are positive, go home and stay there. If you are negative, get out there and try harder"

100% accurate.

My kid's circle of friends and co-workers are doing this exactly.

It's nuts.

Are you aware the only way back to normal life is for a less lethal, but more contagious variant to infect everyone?

Welcome Omicron. Viruses variant themselves into less lethal nuisances, like the flu. Why not let it do what it needs to do to get us there?

Are you aware we will never be Covid free? Why is that your goal? It's unattainable.

Are you aware people will always die from Covid and the Flu? Why do you think we can get to zero deaths?

Are you aware Omicron is no more deadly than the flu? Why don't you want testing done for the Flu? It kills people too.
