> I didn't say testing make people stick. You said that there are more cases because we're doing more testing. That's wrong. Testing doesn't change the number of infections; It only changes the number of infections we know about. > A lot of people tested positive but never get sick. If you're infected but asymptomatic or have mild symptoms you're still sick. > It was hard to get testing before but its relatively easier now. A lot of hospital test all patient coming to hospital get tested despite they come for different reason. "Relatively" doesn't mean much when testing was abysmal before. > A lot of people get tested despite they never have a symptom. Where is this happening? Where in the US are there enough tests that anyone that wants a test can get one? > A lot of hospital test all patient coming to hospital get tested despite they come for different reason. Hospitals are a unique situation. They have a lot of people there that are at risk of severe complications if they catch COVID but at the same time have to deal with anyone from the public being able to enter the hospital at any time. It makes sense that they would take special precautions that are not necessary or appropriate elsewhere.

Obviously I was referring to confirmed case, the more testing you have, the more confirmed case you have. >If you're infected but asymptomatic or have mild symptoms you're still sick. Sure for mild symptoms but if you don't have any symptoms you are not sick. >Where is this happening? Where in the US are there enough tests that anyone that wants a test can get one? At least in texas you can have test if you want anytime, you may have to pay though. >Hospitals are a unique situation. They have a lot of people there that are at risk of severe complications if they catch COVID but at the same time have to deal with anyone from the public being able to enter the hospital at any time. It makes sense that they would take special precautions that are not necessary or appropriate elsewhere Sure, we already know the covid spread easily, but we also know for the majority of cases it either asymptomatic or only have mild symptoms. The damage caused by lockdown are way more than the covid. Lockdown create bigger problem then it solves.
