Why was he even tested if he had no symptoms?

Because his wife was tested after learning someone at her work tested positive.

RHINOWSOUh, it's a virus. People are going to catch it.
We QT'ed to keep from overwhelming the hospitals, not to prevent people from getting it 'forever' - which is impossible.
But the drama queens can crow about 'the sky falling' again. Funny to watch.

Commie wanna be Inslee thinks he can make not wearing a mask an enforceable misdemeanor. Good Lord the guy is beyond being an idiot. Good luck in making me wear one everywhere I go, you prick. It ain't gonna happen.

I don't see anyone panicking. So if we discuss a record number of hospitalizations, it's panic?
Ok then, the thread should just be locked then like that other topic. All I am doing is paying attention to what is going on. Those hospital beds fill up, here we go with round 2 of SIP, and all that bullshit.

Yes. Any call for reasonableness and caution will be labelled panic by some. If you are not 100% for business as usual, you are part of the problem. There is no middle ground.

BS. If you’re medically fragile and/or old, stay the fuck home and/or take precautions. Everybody else should go about their normal business.

bdylanAre we really going to panic every single time the broken media lies to us about this pathogen? It's asinine. If the hospitals are being overwhelmed, we wasted trillions of dollars hiding in our holes and we should probably suck it up and take the medicine this time around.

I'm sharing the opinions of others. Not my own.
I've been labelled brainwashed, simply for sharing that I wear a mask sometimes out of caution. I've also been told my doctors who advise me to take caution hate America. This is several pages back in this thread.

I thought this had already been addressed.
If you're at risk and been advised to wear a mask, by all means... But I know not of this binary choice to which you refer.
