With the US Government handing out free covid tests like...they hand out free money, who here is going to be getting themselves some of these FREE, yes I'm told they're free, tests? I know I love it when the government hands out free stuff that got created out of thin air without our tax dollars. It's almost too good to be true.
well taxes were not increased to then buy these kits. they used 'money creation(bond creation, swapped for new money)' to get 'free money' to buy the kits.
but everything comes with a price eventually. because taxes will rise to pay back the 'bond'(loan) that was used to get the 'free' stuff
its like people say having a child is 'free', but after the birth. diapers, feed, clothing, and education has a price
nature is free (breathing air, seeing, feeling the sun).. but civilisation always comes with a cost.
..
as for using the tests to get access to a plane journey or get back to work, is a false utility of tests
by simply not swabbing their mouth/nose. they can show a test that appears negative. even when the person is still positive.
by just showing their employer a negative test they can go back to work. even when actually physically positive
self testing at home(no witness to the swabbing part) is where the utility of the test fails its purpose. it should actually be used by employers watching their employees perform the test.
EG school testin. should be done by teachers witnessing students to see they dont have it to allow them to go back to class.. rather then self testing at home where the parents want the irritating kid to go back to school to give the parents a break
in the UK some employers wont pay unvaccinated people enhanced(salary matching) sick-pay if they get sick. and instead only pay the legal minimum. as a method to incentivise people into getting vaccinated.
but the vaccine-ignorant/refusers, will ofcourse also be the ones wanting to spread the virus, and so they will happily use a covid test(without mouth/nose swabbing) so they can get back to work within 5 days instead of 14 days. thus being positive but claiming negative, thus spread the virus.. due to their own stupid philosophy/ignorance of health and safety
