The Self-Contradiction of "Testing for Tony"

Well, it's not really a decline in the number of reported cases, sorta, kinda.

Actually, it's a decline in ......ahh...unnhhh....urfff....

Tony Evers' plan actually calls for a drop in the percentage of positive cases, not the raw number of cases.

Because, as we all know, NOBODY can catch the disease AFTER a test.

It's a friggin' virus.  History shows us that damn near everyone contracts a virus unless vaccinated.  No amount of Social Estrangement, masks, or alcohol-rubs will prevent it from spreading.  The geniuses merely shoved the contagion out further.

So says this MD:

...We know from decades of medical science that infection itself allows people to generate an immune response — antibodies — so that the infection is controlled throughout the population by “herd immunity.” Indeed, that is the main purpose of widespread immunization in other viral diseases — to assist with population immunity. In this virus, we know that medical care is not even necessary for the vast majority of people who are infected. It is so mild that half of infected people are asymptomatic, shown in early data from the Diamond Princess ship, and then in Iceland and Italy. That has been falsely portrayed as a problem requiring mass isolation. In fact, infected people without severe illness are the immediately available vehicle for establishing widespread immunity. By transmitting the virus to others in the low-risk group who then generate antibodies, they block the network of pathways toward the most vulnerable people, ultimately ending the threat. Extending whole-population isolation would directly prevent that widespread immunity from developing....

So in effect, "Testing for Tony" will keep the State closed for quite a while longer.  Maybe through December!!

Christmas will be SO much fun!
