It’s very simple.
DO NOT GET TESTED.
Now before you get all up in arms let me explain.
They are taking the positive test results and correlating that to the number of tests. So, hypothetically speaking, if 10 tests are performed for residents residing in 11219 in one day and 5 of them come back positive that’s a 50% positivity rate. As far as I’ve seen they don’t seem to care about the overall population of 11219 just how many positive test results they get. Now if everyone gets tested, and I mean every single person, we may or may not drastically lower the positivity rate; assuming of course we actually trust them with the numbers. If no-one gets tested they wont have any numbers to potentially fudge. If you feel sick stay home. Whether you get tested or not doesn’t change the outcome or the treatment. I’m not talking about someone who needs to see a doctor or is experiencing severe breathing problems. I’m talking about most people who if they truly have it will either be asymptomatic or experience flue like symptoms for a couple of days and recover. Again to be clear, I am not talking about those who would require medical attention or hospitalization.
For those yelling pikuach nefesh and calling those that don’t listen rodfim; Would you be considered a Rodef if you were in Sweden and didn’t wear a mask? Food for thought.
