Blah blah blah. Its all a scam.

What about those same costs in poorer countries. Yet they only have to pay 1/10th of the cost.

Blah blah blah. It is called price discrimination. Do you go to London and see a Big Mac cost $8 and say it is a scam because in Manila a Big Mac costs only $2?

[LovinAsia]

There are still administrative costs. There is transportation cost. The building that these tests are stored in have to be paid for. The person that tests you have to be paid. The machines to run the tests through have to be bought. Electricity to run those machines have to be paid for. The maintenance on the machines have to be paid for. Etc. Non-profits still require capital to function.

US govt bought millions of covid 19 tests for $5 each. Cheaper tests can be made for about a dollar. It costs well over $100 for me to get tested here in usa. Explain how that's not about money.

United Airlines Partner charges $250.

[Horatio]

The tests that cost a dollar to make can be self administered and are 99% accurate. A small fraction of the latest covid stimulus could make widespread testing a reality.

Some companies will profit wildly from the virus. That doesn't mean we should stop testing. That doesn't make it hoax.

Maybe it depends on being in a failing Blue state vs a liberated state. Certainly it's not the fault of DJT. Maybe Jared Kushner, who allowed people not vomiting and in an ICU to be tested. Or Mike Pence, Czar of "Warp Speed" ? Write a beautiful letter to Mitch McConnell or Rand Paul, who seem to have all the answers.

And same for your car mechanic with a $5 part. What will you end up paying? LOL.

As a medical professional, if there is a conspiracy where everyone else is collaborating and making dollars off this vaccine, please please let me in on the easy money.

[Danny Duck]

Millions of people believe exactly that.

The fundamental problem is many people don't sufficiently understand the science to realize how destructive this virus is when left unchecked. They refuse to abandon their fun times now to save lives and have a better future. They don't care if somebody else suffers or dies.

Too many people are selfish and lack respect for others. What does Buddha teach about that?

Science says it's the Flu. Wash your Hands. Don't kiss ProstitootS.

If You are vulnerable stay home.

[HorseTrader]

Who is the they you speak of? You seriously believe 194 countries and millions of medical professionals are in cahoots right now?

[Mr Enternational]

they are trying to implement something else on the global population.

To make it short, dumb people are the ones that believe to their narrative and are willing to inject that shitty product in their blood in order to still be able to do whatever they were used to before the spread of the virus.

The lockdowns were the exact right thing to do not only to avoid overwhelming hospitals and tie up the time and attention of medical staff to the point where your garden variety heart attack patient and motorcycle accident casualty would laguish in the halls outside of the ER until they were added to the death ranks but also in order to buy time to learn how to treat it and reduce the death rates for all ages and physical conditions.

Anyone reading this who needs to be hospitalized for Covid today will be given treatment and drugs they might not have been given last March or April, even moved into a particular position on the bed that could very well mean the difference between dying 5 days from now or 25 years from now.

It requires time and, forgive the pun, breathing room to learn those things.

And if you ARE reading this today instead of being 8 months dead already after waiting in a 10 hour queue at your local ER before anyone knew what the fuck to do about this novel virus to prolong life rather than end it you might want to give thanks to the authorites who had the gonads to demand a lockdown for the pleasure.

Now they are learning about a more infectious variant that might be much more harmful to people not in the first 1% or 10% that the original coronavirus version effected, perhaps young children. Or might not. Only time will tell. But I vote for learning more about it with just 50% of hospital beds filled with case studies to learn from during some degree of lockdown rather than with 100% of them filled and a 4 day gueue unable to be admitted and tended to at all just so I can pick up a loaf of bread at 7-11 at 2 am instead of only before 10 pm.

Well stated and I could not agree with you more.

[EihTooms]

The problem is that the 1% would very soon become 10%, 20%, 30%, and so on, if the authorities would not fuck the lives of the 99%. Or if a significant part of the 99% does not want to listen to the authorities, which is exactly what is happening in the USA and many other places.
