At an hour a test, it will only take 114 years to test all of Saskatchewan.

That assumes one machine for the province. If instead there are 100 machines 1.14 years, or if 500 then a lot less than a year. The machine is about as large as a 4 slot toaster. I expect it will be expensive

So you get a home test. What are you going to do with the results?

I would hope to test positive so that I could stop self isolation. and get back to a more normal life.

Doesn't mean you can go around and do anything you want, because it doesn't protect you from people who are infected. Even if you decided to take a personal risk, knowing you won't infect others, who is going to believe you?

There is no way to track down the millions of people who may have come in contact with the 200,000+ people infected in that area. Testing sounds great on the surface, but it is of little use in stopping a pandemic that has spread this far.

Without testing at a much high volume the existing numbers are almost useless. 677,056 cases; 677,056 new. 34,580 deaths; 2,137 new at 18:18 mountain standard time.

Some residents of Michigan have filed a lawsuit against their governor for violation of their constitutional rights. I hope they win.

It's beyond tin hat to think any mayor or governor wants to shut anything down for longer than they believe is needed.

I agree but clearly there is a VERY wide definition of "believe is needed" and that's where the debate is.

They have their own agenda. Our own IL governor said on live TV that he's not worried about his budget shortfall because he will go to the feral government to get the money to subsidize it.
So yes they will do what they can for Themselves! And too bad for the people he destroys along the way.

The media and governments have gotten carried away with this whole virus thing that they lost sight of what should really be done!

Hospitals have been banned from performing elective surgery in order to free up space and personnel for covid patients. But the patients never appeared in overwhelming numbers. Hospitals are going broke and are laying off doctors, nurses and support personnel. They need to get back to work doing elective surgeries to get that revenue to keep the doors open. There's also a lot of people in pain waiting for knee replacements, etc. Hospitals need to be re-opened so they can get back on their feet financially.

According to our neighbor who's wife is pregnant, he was given guidance including a link to a YouTube video on having his wife give birth at home. He says they have backed off on that now.

It's over! Watch today's political rally. Those states that are nice will be helped and rewarded. It is now the state's problem.

More exaggeration, bid time.

Go educate yourself on the concept of contact tracing; there’s plenty of information on how this works.
