Has anybody in your family had the Corona virus?

[Memphis]

TIC I’m going to assume that the decision to shut the world down wasn’t based solely on my fourth hand experience. I shared that experience prior to the need to have documented proof of a diagnosis and a personally developed testing plan. Truth be told I had no idea it would come back to haunt me.

I’ve said many times over that the socioeconomic fall out will be huge. I have total sympathy for anyone affected be that medically or financially or any other way possible. On a personal note the world closing down is a minor inconvenience. For others it will be huge.

No I don’t wear a mask. I don’t have an issue with maintaining social distancing and should I get attacked by a suicide cougher, I doubt a mask is going to save me.

So what happens after you’ve tested everyone you know?

you believe covid 19 is real, i am just asking you to prove it, so i know it is real. there must be a test i can perform that will tell me if someone has it or not right? or is it only the special tests carried out by the authorities that can do that? this is your belief, i'm just asking you to prove it's real. do you think anyone has ever been misdiagnosed for something or medical errors have ever occurred? that never happens, yeh? but we should all just trust what is being said now yeh? you'd have to give me a test that will prove it's real because i can't just take your word, if your test proves it's real i would then know it is, as would you, rather than just believing

Yes I believe it’s real. No I don’t believe there is a test that YOU can can do. I may be wrong. Yes I’m sure people get misdiagnosed and errors occur. No we don’t need to just trust all that’s said. What would you require from my test that differs from the one that the authorities give?

your belief is not proof. what is the process the authorities use? i thought you hadn't taken a test, i could be mistaken but please inform me of their process if you have actually had one

I’m not aware of ever claiming that my belief was ‘proof’. Where and when did that happen?

Would the same rules apply to anything else? I’ve never broken my leg. I’m aware that other people have but I don’t have ‘proof’.

You’re quit right. I’ve never taken a test.

i never said you claimed that, i'm just stating what is true & that you don't know, you only believe. you could test bones though to see how they break & if you really wanted to go to extremes you could break your leg to test it but this is not about bones, this is about proving something you believe to be real so we can both know that it is

So this whole time has been about proving something I’d already confirmed? I feel used.

Are there any illnesses you do acknowledge without having ‘proof’?
