so imagine you got corona in these weeks

2020-03-25 19:41:53 UTC  

Those first couple of weeks definitely had a negative impact

2020-03-25 19:41:59 UTC  

That’s a good point

2020-03-25 19:42:00 UTC  

and infected people because you cant afford the test

2020-03-25 19:42:07 UTC  

there weren't enough tests in the first place

2020-03-25 19:42:19 UTC  

That’s not necessarily a good way to combat his point

2020-03-25 19:42:24 UTC  

they could only do like 2000 a day and they had to send it to the cdc center in georgia

2020-03-25 19:42:25 UTC  

That only shows more incompetence

2020-03-25 19:42:31 UTC  

yep

2020-03-25 19:42:31 UTC  

nationally

2020-03-25 19:42:50 UTC  

i think every person has a worth

2020-03-25 19:42:57 UTC  

1 person infects maybe 10 to 20

2020-03-25 19:43:06 UTC  

and they can infect also up to that numbers

2020-03-25 19:43:17 UTC  

so 200 people and that isnt enough?

2020-03-25 19:43:32 UTC  

200 people is in germany almost an entire school

2020-03-25 19:43:32 UTC  

the tests other countries were using in mass had only like an 80% accuracy

2020-03-25 19:43:41 UTC  

the u.s. wouldn't use those tests

2020-03-25 19:43:57 UTC  

bad argument

2020-03-25 19:43:59 UTC  

nope

2020-03-25 19:43:59 UTC  

for real

2020-03-25 19:44:05 UTC  

That is a very bad argument

2020-03-25 19:44:12 UTC  

These are just more problems we have

2020-03-25 19:44:13 UTC  

the new tests they are rolling out have high accuracy

2020-03-25 19:44:14 UTC  

i would use it still if 80% could be still usefull

2020-03-25 19:44:19 UTC  

and now they are testing more than any other country

2020-03-25 19:44:20 UTC  

soon

2020-03-25 19:44:31 UTC  

if you can gues 4 of 5 people correct its still better than nothing

2020-03-25 19:44:38 UTC  

If the CDC had followed WHO protocols we would have made a successful test to begin with

2020-03-25 19:44:47 UTC  

yup you could have

2020-03-25 19:44:48 UTC  

false negatives probably do more harm than the correct positives

2020-03-25 19:44:54 UTC  

nah

2020-03-25 19:44:56 UTC  

yep

2020-03-25 19:44:56 UTC  

They don’t do more harm

2020-03-25 19:45:02 UTC  

how should they

2020-03-25 19:45:04 UTC  

They isolate people

2020-03-25 19:45:08 UTC  

yep

2020-03-25 19:45:12 UTC  

if someone gets a false negative, they go out

2020-03-25 19:45:15 UTC  

and they have it

2020-03-25 19:45:19 UTC  

ye and if they not test

2020-03-25 19:45:25 UTC  

they still go out more

2020-03-25 19:45:27 UTC  

False negative is usually lower than false positive
