That’s it? This story is going to fade away real quick. Especially with the shenanigans about to take place regarding RGB croaking.

I think the left has already forgotten. Is it racist that they will forget about the BLM protestors too?

Yeah my big dumb libtard brain can't be concerned with more than one issue at a time.

What the hell is "BLM"?

I think this is more in reference to the MSM and Democrat leaders. We all know you’re like Mensa smart. Cals must be slipping in some of those pills from the limitless movie

Canada unveils COVID-19 'gargle, spit' test, first of its kind

Canadian health officials have announced a new coronavirus test that consists of gargling and spitting, according to reports.

In the much less-invasive test, the patient uses a saline solution to “swirl, gargle and spit," the Guardian reported. The test is the first of its kind in the world, and could provide an easier means of testing mass populations in an effort to return to normal.

“Unlike the nasopharyngeal swab, this is a new saline gargle where you put a little bit of normal saline water in your mouth, you swish it around a little bit – and you spit it into a little tube. And that’s an easier way to collect it for young people,” Dr. Bonnie Henry, British Columbia’s top doctor, told reporters.

The British Columbia Center for Disease Control rolled out the new test, initially aimed at children but possibly for adult use as well. Henry said the government plans to roll the test out to all available sites, but it doesn't require a health professional to administer, Global News reported.

“It’s an easier way to collect it for young people,” Henry said. “We want to have it available for everybody, but right now the focus is on children for reasons of supply.”

This is great. Who knows if we'll need it? I can tell you that the number you absolutely have to keep your eye in is hospitalizations. That's the most telling stat. We may have hit some thresholds in certain areas. NY sure doesn't seem to be spiking, they're probably at saturation, but they sure didn't get there the right way.

My dad is unfortunately in the hospital.  ER was empty on Saturday night when we took him.  I saw 7 patients in the ER, (2 with police escorts), and no one in the waiting room.  Cardiology has like 6 beds out of 20 that had patients in them.  The other wing was closed because there is no patients for them.  

This is a hospital in LA, so I'm wondering where all the sick people went.  Compared to ER's and hospitals I've been into in the past, this was scary quiet.

This asshat works for the UN. This is the kind of nonsense that makes people skeptical.

Skeptical of what? What kind of medical research is this guy doing? 

He's an idiot. Let's not extrapolate too much from that.

By the way, can you imagine how you'd react if there was somebody in a particularly visible seat of power that made statements as absurd as this one on a regular basis? You'd be very skeptical of anything they said, right?

Not skeptical of a President that is on tape saying he purposely down played it and canceled a plan to mail out millions of masks. But random dude on Twitter, that's when the wheels in Jason's head really starts turning.

You're far too cynical, good sir.

Also, China covered up how bad this is. Bad China. Also, it's not bad. Bad science. Also, the Dems govs are the bad onezzzz cause they let people die. It's easy to protect people. 200k? NBD, but also that's China's fault and they're to blame for this horrible number of deaths. Also, it's not bad. It's the flu. It's just like the flu. Have I mentioned that China lied and covered up the severity of this at the beginning? Furthermore, it's not that severe and only 6% of people died only of COVID.

These people are twisting themselves up like pretzels. Dummies.

Doesn't matter. The Twitterverse has already taken ahold of it and it is now proof that a virus that has now killed 200,000 people in the US alone is a hoax.

Twitter is for injury reports and roster updates. Anything else is just babble

Hope your dad gets better. On the bright side he picked the perfect time to visit the ER.

Nope, I believe everything that politicians say or tweet out. No skepticism at all

In the US, there are actually 3 vaccines being tested for phase 3.  The Astra Zeneca one that is testing in Britain is the newest one to be tested in the US.  The 3 vaccines is actually old news.

Third COVID vaccine candidate starts phase 3 trial in US
