There are not enough tests available to test the entire population. You only get test approval if you have the symptoms. There is no way to know the percentage of the population that has/had or is carrying the virus because of the lack of said tests. Saying 1/4 of the population has it is the same mentality that the liberal media uses in their fake reporting. Hospitals and healthcare facilities will receive federal funding related to covid-19 care and/or deaths from. This in itself will create false reporting of sickness/deaths from covid-19 by these institutions in order to receive said funding.
Everyone should use common sense during this time and respect other’s space. Wearing a face covering to protect others from our nasal/mouth moisture plumes. Keep your hands clean and away from your face. The same precautions that we should practice during all influenza seasons. Each year, 10’s of thousands die in the USA from the Flu. It attacks those with weakened immune systems. Stay safe, take supplements that boost your immune system, keep those hands washed and Put Your Trust in God! Peace, Love and Long Life to you all.
“Went to winn dixie in atmore today it was crowded ”
There is no Winn Dixie in Atmore
There are many people ignoring wearing masks in many locations. Went to winn dixie in atmore today it was crowded and very few people besides myself, employee’s and a few other patrons were masked. Opening up businesses too soon where large groups of people gather – sports venues, shopping centers and casinos with people ignoring precautions will only cause more sickness
7.9% out of the small number tested. Testing should be easier to obtain. The numbers are way higher. Hell 1/4 the population is walking around positive and has no clue .
