I'm OK with you taking issue with Foreign Policy's reporting, but I don't work for them. They might have an ombudsman or something you can register your concerns with. But just endlessly insulting me like liberals do (TM Archie) because you don't like their reporting isn't really going to get you very far.

pfife Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) So first you contradicted yourself about whether covid was as bad now as it was before, now you're insulting people - which is what you said only liberals do. These are just the oxymorons I'm paying attention to. And you wonder why you get called a troll. Maybe if you didn't post blatantly contradictory and hypocritical things on the internet, people wouldn't think it was trollish.

I assumed, based on what I was hearing out of the CDC, that it was imperative not only to ensure testing was available, but also ensure response times on those tests were shrunk. As mentioned, possibly before you joined on this site, I was advised to get my daughter tested with an over the counter one to rule out if she had a cold or covid. Thinking I could find one set me back a day as I drove around my area to certain sites that listed them in stock only to eventually just start calling and than realize I needed to schedule a test through the local pharmacy. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/10/19/923972496/covid-19-test-results-get-faster-but-still-too-slow-to-help-slow-disease-spread Quote It's not just delays in test results that are stymieing public health efforts. Many respondents report obstacles in getting tested to start with. Thirty-five percent of people in the August and September surveys had to wait at least three days between deciding to get a test and actually getting the test, the researchers found. The average person who got tested in the August and September surveys was tested within 2.5 days and waited 3.7 days for the results of the test. That means it took a total of 6.2 days between deciding on a test and receiving results, the researchers wrote. "So even with the improvement in results, people are waiting about week. And by that point much of the harm that could occur in spreading through that person's social network has already occurred," Lazer says. "What you want to do is cut that to within 24 hours to 36 hours." The reasons people have trouble getting tested varied. One-third of people did not know how or where to get a test, 23% said the testing site was too far away, and 14% said the test was too expensive. The delays between deciding to get a test and getting final results were worst for Black respondents. The average white person surveyed waited 5.7 days for results after seeking a test. The average Asian American, Hispanic or Black respondent waited 6.1, 6.9, and 7.4 days respectively. On 10/4/2021 at 11:41 AM, Archie said: So are you happy with the state of the country right now? Absolutely not happy at all. On 10/4/2021 at 11:41 AM, Archie said: I've said it before and will repeat it, I'm not Trump supporter and would rather see someone else run. However, voting for Trump in 2020 was better than going with what we have now. I refuse to vote for the bad candidate because I don't like the other guy. How is Trump the guy you don't like in this scenario and not the bad candidate? The division in this country was there before Trump, but he is directly responsible for the boiling over aspect of now. He is directly responsible for the insurrection, which I saw you playing down. Far right folks on the middle east - turn that sand into a sheet of glass. Far right folks on riots in city streets - bring in the national guard and shoot to kill. If they don't care about their property, why should we. Far right folks on a regular Tuesday - I'm so patriotic i'm going to head to the grocery store with my Trump flag attached to my car. Far right folks when the police kill someone that broke any law whatsoever - serves right. Far right folks when folks beat up cops, break into the Capital, destroy property within the Capital, steal notebooks from congressman that may/may not have sensitive material on them and shoot a women that is repeatedly being told to get back - we demand to know who shot that women! You can point to some specific things, gas prices, energy prices, fear of inflation, etc, but 1) A portion of that has nothing to do with who is president and 2) Covid has a role in that and what has Trump done with that which makes you think Biden would be the 'bad candidate' when it comes to that.
