If you look at the thread that started in early Jan, it was already too late.

When you add all those groups:

Heart problems - 125 Million
Asthmatics - some 50 Millions
Cancer...
Diabetes..
Immunosupressed..

You and up with some 70% of the country.
Factor in, most of those people are exposed through the kids and young adults who
work then you o up to 80%..

Now if of the reminder 20% you most likely need to keep tabs of who is well and
who is sick so you would need to keep testing them ALL the time as today well
tomorrow positive would infect the reminder of the pool.

How do you propose to do tat? At 250 bucks a test pop?
Let me recap:

250 Dolllars one test
2500 - ten tests
25, 000 hundred tests
250, 000 one thousand tests !!!! as in 1000 people..

so o test 1 000 000 you need to spend 250 000 000 bucks
Once you come to test 4 million people you have spent an etire BILLION dollars.

You tell me... is it worth it? Where does it gets you testing people who are well today
and sick tomorrow to retest and retest them? Where do the money come from.
Frankly put this into taking care of the existing cases and we have much better
spent founds.

You definitely just made those numbers up. Try a little harder next time.

Number of adults with diagnosed heart disease is 30.3 million, not 125 million. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/heart-disease.htm

25 million (not 50 million) have asthma https://www.aafa.org/asthma-facts/

Dahling .. at your service.. and please
do not call me a liar.. CDC is no your only source.. dig deeper.. ask different questions..

According to the study from the American Heart Association, 121.5 million Americans, or about 48.5 percent, dealt with heart or blood vessel disease as of 2016.

I admit being off by 4 million but that is not what you imlying.. lol

has anyone received a call from a contact tracer? I got a call on Thursday from a really nice woman who spent a lot of time helping me figure out how to get cleaning supplies. They can't be paying them that much but she spent easily an hour on the phone with me.

They get paid by the time not by the cases so one hour with you, less people to talk to.

No. For whatever reason (maybe super spreaders), our outbreaks did not happen until mid Feb. Before that, we had a few cases they never took off. We know this because the virus has been studied.

It would have saved us to shut everything down in Jan. At a minimum we could have started testing and quarantining.
