This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Masks only slow it. Testing is the only way to stop it by Btd

You have to systematically find the asymptomatic people weekly in order to stop the virus entirely. Masks do not work because they are not worn 24x7. People wear them part time. There is a reason why 66% of infected people in NY in March and April never left their home, but still got infected.

Every single school age and working age person in the US should be tested weekly. Yes, that’s 175-200 million tests weekly. It could have been done. Trivial to do actually. Just needed to order 20-30 of the top 50 pharma to all manufacture the Abbott labs 15 minute test. That test does not require a lab to process it and doesn’t require a healthcare professional to administer it. A 10 year old kid could be trained to administer it and stick it properly into the machine for processing.
