Oh, horseshit. First off, the diagnostic test checks your respiratory system for viral RNA. The antibody test checks your blood for antibodies, so if you get a surprise positive on that I means you're one of the lucky asymptomatic folks.

That said, I'll never believe it's a hoax because I've had it, and my wife had it worse, and it's NOT FUCKING FUN. I can very much see how it could push somebody who already has health problems over the brink.

Also the Democrats are far too incompetent to perpetuate a hoax of this magnitude.

it's NOT FUCKING FUN.

neither is the flu, which kills 500,000 people every year worldwide, but we don't shut down the entire world because of it.

The rest of the world is opening back up, but Americans are too self-centered to wear masks. And we can apparently politicize anything.

No one with any sense thinks we can actually stop the virus. The idea is to keep the infection rate low enough for hospitals and medical suppliers to keep up. No one wants to lose Grandma to something that would be survivable if the system isn't overwhelmed.

This sums it up.
