this whole place is turned into Reddit man there's people up top in this comment section complaining that there's not enough testing while they're frolicking around the countryside. Complaining that they want free testing. Imagine a virus so bad you have to get tested to know if you have it or not

What do you mean when you say this place has "turned into reddit"? Are you referring to the generally lower standard of comment quality there? If so, that's ironic.

Imagine a virus so unpredictable that you might take anywhere from 0 to 14 days to become infectious, and you could end up anyhwere from unknowingly and asymptomatically shedding the virus to dead from it. Imagine that.
