In my very anecdotal experience the ones who seem to be like, "whatever" are mostly seniors. Most of the people around my age I engage with are trying to follow the guidelines and all that for the most part. Most of the older people I know don't seem to care one way or another. In fact, I've had multiple 55+ year-old people tell me, "Eh I'm gonna die from something". It's strange since they're the high-risk crowd...

hmm, interesting conclusion as my experience is the complete opposite as I have seen on the news many younger people denouncing the closures and downplaying the severity of it. Look at Mardi Gras and the Florida beaches just in the past few weeks as that was mostly younger people. I even heard several young people claim they were immune to it because they were in their 30's or less and now the stats show that anyone is susceptible to the virus.

She's yet another White House parrot. But I think that Fauci, because he seems to speak his own mind, sometimes pisses Trump off to no end.

I think the only reason Fauci is still there is the following he has by many people and trump can only play the you're fired card so much until it completely backfires on him and Fauci would be a good case for an uproar over being fired

I disagree. I think you can assume that who is getting tested is at the very least equivalent to a random sample of the population. It is more likely skewed toward those who are at greater risk and those who have exhibited symptoms. I believe it is very good news.

explain why so many that exhibit some symptoms are being turned down for testing and just sent home to rest?

Wasn't a conclusion just anecdotal what I've seen in my personal life. Is that almost all the older people parents/grandparents, co-workers seem to not care. In fact where I work the ones who have stayed home are mostly young people, the ones still coming in are mostly older people. There's two of us "40 and younger" still coming in. While Dozens of older people who can be working from home are coming in.

I can't. Do you disagree with my assertion that people at higher risk and people exhibiting symptoms are more likely to have been tested than those not at higher risk and those that are not exhibiting symptoms?

and that's the problem. Not enough people are being tested so we can have more accurate data and determine who should be quarantined. I would feel horrible if I came down with some symptoms and then told I can't be tested because it's not seere enough or that it's just the flu, bronchitis or pneumonia and then I go home and end up spreading it to others.

If you get sick I bet your family will stick you in the garage.

The reason is that Fauci is a non-fierce Republican, with the interpersonal skill to have been a personal friend of both Bush presidents. He's using the same magic on Trump when they talk.

Its the States strategy, test the real sick or if you been exposed to someone. I'd like everyone tested at least for anti bodies. Brown said she's saving the her stockpile for the second wave of which I dont agree with, but it doesn't surprise after seeing how the State stockpiles many things each year.

What news are you watching?

If you have symptoms and they don't test you, you need to self quarantine. If they tested you today and you have a sniffle or mild symptoms they don't hospitalize you even if you test positive.

You would only avoid spreading it to your family if you tested positive?

What you suggest is logical, but that doesn't mean that's what's actually happening. Doctors have friends and relatives, and those people may be getting tested at a greater than rational rate.

LoL... Trump's task force meeting got delayed because there having trouble testing everyone going in. He must be pissed.

Magic Johnson will be apart of fake news tonight folks.

Yeah, he's the perfect person to voice his opinions on contagious diseases... he not only fucked around on his wife, he also contracted HIV because of his infidelity. Even when I followed the Lakers (only because I was an Alcindor/Jabbar fan) I never really cared for Johnson...he never seemed genuine to me.
 
Mike Pence just said from the beginning they knew that this was 3X more contagious than the flu. Total bullshit!
