Wake County expanding drive-thru COVID-19 testing, saying demand has doubled

Wake County Public Health will expand its hours at COVID-19 testing sites beginning Monday.

Beginning Aug. 16, five county-operated sites will run 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. each weekday. Officials said the demand for COVID-19 testing has nearly doubled as cases spike across the state, and people waited in line for more than an hour Monday and Tuesday at the Vision RDU Church location in Raleigh.

In North Carolina, 14% of all tests taken in the past day were positive, the state’s highest percent positive rate since January.

Doesn’t matter. They have already admitted that the PCR can’t differentiate between the “Covid” and the Influenza. Besides, what are they testing for when it is an establish fact that there was/is no isolated and purified “Covid” specimens to “calibrate” the PCR. BTW, did you know they were exporting “Covid-19 Test Kits” back in 2017? I wonder how many will be dead by 2025?

As I commented on my blog back in November 17, 2020: Why? If you are not sick enough to go to the doctors, why are you getting tested? It is now over 11+ Million people tested positive for the Corona-Cooties and the VAST MAJORITY don’t even have any symptoms. They just went and got tested just to find out that they have the… CASES! And the VAST MAJORITY didn’t even know they had the Corona-Cooties until they got tested. And after getting tested, just to find out that they have the Corona-Cooties, the VAST MAJORITY WILL NOT develop… FLU-COOTIES symptoms. You IDIOTS, they are not shutting down America because 11 Million people are dropping dead! They are shutting down America because you IDIOTS went and got tested and have the CASES! The CASES! you idiots didn’t know you had until you got tested positive… for CASES!

I don’t understand point of testing people with a pcr test that was not designed for viruses.

We have no one to blame but ourselves. The longer we allow this, the longer it will continue.
