How is the TrumpVirus advancing in your town?

The Logical Voice

As of Friday, March 13, there have been 137 Trump virus tests completed in the state. Of those, 125 have come back negative.

137.......that is pathetic.

Why is that pathetic?

How many tests should have been run by now? Is there some numerical objective that we are supposed to have reached by now?

The question is really this. Are there people that doctors in CT want to have tested that cannot be tested? Do we actually know that?

Why should anyone be tested? I think the CDC has puts some suggestions out on that. Are we having trouble getting those who should be tested, actually tested? Have we seen any reports of that?

Numbers mean nothing without a context. Give me a context that reflects why 137 is pathetic, or leave the decisions to those with real expertise.

So 91% of the people who doctors think have it don’t. Ct has a doctor problem, not a covid19 problem.

They should have to retake their license exam

Said another way, ct wasted 125 tests that could have been used by real sick people

Listen to the professionals.....

“The system is not really geared to what we need right now, what you are asking for. That is a failing,” said Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, who leads the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, in testimony before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform on Thursday. “It is a failing. I mean, let’s admit it.”

Dr. Fauci added: “The idea of anybody getting it easily the way people in other countries are doing it, we are not set up for that. Do I think we should be? Yes. But we are not.”

There are MANY reports of people with symptoms who are actively seeking testing, but to no avail. Just do some research, Fox is not reporting on it.

Cases are popping up, i think there should be widespread testing in those area. I realize many negatives results will occer, but even that is useful info for the medical community.

Once your kid gets it, you will change your mind.

From CT Mirror (sorry, not owned by Rupert Murdoch):
The CT state Department of Public Health returned the first positive result of a Westport resident late Thursday, giving the state its 6th confirmed case. But the nationwide shortage of testing kits is slowing the ability of local officials to swab all those exposed or symptomatic, thwarting efforts to trace the spread of the disease.

I realize it is difficult for you to realize your Super Mangod is screwing this up, and your whole self identity is wrapped up in his perfection.

Just try and accept there is an alternate reality, and in this polar opposite world people are worried about their parents and kids, and they know bullshlt when they see it and hear it. And you dear leader is full of it, and people will suffer because of his ineptitude.

And yes, testing is a problem. I dont know what the right number is. But even my eight year old knows 137 is too few.

Until tests are more widely available I would agree. But don't forget it's still flu season and flu presents similar symptoms. Now that there is community spread you can't just rely on the criteria of international travel or direct contact with a confirmed patient.

Also, it's important to know how many really have it and once more tests are available more need to be tested. Bigger sample sizes give us better data. Having the right denominator gives us a better infection and mortality rate. South Korea has tested like crazy and their mortality rate is .7%, much lower than China and elsewhere. That is important data to have.

Given how many cases there are in very nearby NY and MA I've no doubt there are more cases than have been proven thus far. Some people that think they have won't even bother to get tested, just like many don't with the flu. More rational people know that unless they're in a high risk group they will be fine. Call your doc, monitor your temp, breathing etc. Most times it will resolve in a few days.

Lol, you really have no clue. There is no waste, this is how medical testing works. You worried your taxes will go up?

So you use the same needle to take blood samples, you use the same vial to collect and transport the sample to the lab, you use the same serology testing equipment multiple times. That doesn't even include the waste of medical staff time to draw samples, transport and test, etc.

It is a huge waste. Why do you think dems are complaining abut not enough testing kits available? They dont ship one to Stamford Hospital and tat one covers the whole Hospital. You are the idiot.

Too low? People arent using them on the right population. 91% of tests in CT used on the wrong patients. Sorry, you arent going to get tested daily. not how it works. If you are clear today and then go to work or the supermarket, are you going to go back next week and get tested again.

how do they know who is exposed?potentially everyone is exposed

you just had a guy fly from NY to Fla and was positive
potentially everyone in both airports
everyone on the plane
every one he came in contact with for the previous 3 days in NY
everyone who handled his baggage
everyone who cleaned the plane
and everyone he came into contact with when he disclosed his condition

lots of people are exposed- few show symptoms and get sick
