    Well if you don’t test, you’ll have less cases.

    crosses a few test results off of a list with a sharpie

    And now there’s even less!

      Well, yeah, and testing would cut into profits and possibly / probably require culling, which would cut into profits even more.

      God bless capitalism! 🫠

      That’s the same logic as racists:

      “If everyone would stop talking about shitting on minorities, nobody would know the minorities are being shat on!”

    Lol this happened in Michigan with Covid-19

    There were like 10 reported cases total because hospitals would only send for a test with a solid match up of symptoms and if the patient had recently traveled from China.

    Then when they opened up testing for everyone after CA and NY started going up in flames, it went from 10 to like 1000 cases reported every day.

    All in a span of like two weeks.

    Went from meme to pandemic so fast Whitmer closed public schools faster than the schools themselves could.

    Oh and then Trump got mad and refused to send aid or allow harsher restrictions lol.
