On the AZ health website(azdhs.com) it is clear by their own data graphs that more testing = more cases. and the vast majority of those cases are not sick people(here, every test positive is counted as a case even if it is by a single person). The graphs go up and down and it really shows that on the weekends, less testing = less cases. Also if you look at the same graphs and look at hospitalizations and deaths, you see the truth - the testing cases far exceed any hospitalization or death. It is really evident if you chart testing and positive cases against hospitalizations and deaths - yep, i did it in an excel spreadsheet. You have to chart the hospitalizations and deaths on a separate y axis because you couldn't see anything otherwise. It really stands to reason - I realize they have none - that testing should be reserved for only sick people(should they want one) who clearly are exhibiting symptoms. Then the cases would go way down along with fear and hopefully(i'm not holding my breath) restrictive measures. Even with a test, I fear that people with say asthma or anxiety might think they are really sick if they get a positive result - and if you go to the hospital with that info, you will not be treated for what really ails you - you will be handled as a covid patient and it could potentially kill you. I tell everyone I know - do not get tested. I am sharing again that the pcr test is for research purposes only. www.creative-diagnostics.com/sars-cov-2-coronavirus-multiplex-rt-qpcr-kit-277854-457.htm

Working at a health care facility, we have not been tested until a contract employee brought Covid into our facility, she had 1 definite symptom of Covid, and a positive test, so everyone in the facility had to be tested it took over a week for the first tests to come back, during that week we had to take a second test, 2 more positives came back in the 2nd round of tests, So everyone had to take a 3 round of tests

Those we did through another lab and they all came back negative.

It makes me wonder if the “test kits” aren’t intentionally contaminated to produce a “rapid rise in cases” outcome, furthering fear which enhances the ability of those in control,to,control absolutely. Another question I would ask is, are these test kits specific to this strain of corona virus or will the test kit detect all corona viruses such as the common cold? Too many unanswered questions. I choose faith over fear.

It may be BS but panicked snowflakes will move the politicians to make t3esting and mask wearing mandatory with stiff penalties for non-compliance. My guess is individuals buy into this because they are panicked and this is something that makes them feel better and feel like they are contributing to the solution.
