Why the CDC doesn't stress ventilation. And why what is actually a norm in many countries is to self-test yourself before all social events is kind of unheard of here. But that will never be a norm for most if test kits are near $30 and hard to find of course.
I listened to a prominent expert in disease transmission on the Joe Rogan show say exactly this. Yes Rogan does sometimes have real experts, they’re not all wackadoodle experts.

He pretty much said that lack of rapid result home testing today is a huge failing in our country. The rapid home tests are inexpensive and less accurate, but that’s OK if they give us more false positives than the other more accurate test, that is fine. The false positive rate is still quite low, very low.

One could look hard on this website to see all of the posts that lay this lack of test kit availability at the feet of Biden. You know, kind of like how all those billions of posts by, well, certain posters, laid at the feet of Trump lack of general testing back 15-20 months ago.

I could look hard to see those posts castigating Biden but I won’t because I’m not that kind of gal. Smile. But really it’s because – there aren’t any posts blaming Uncle Joe to find. So curious.
