Getting tested does not offer protection from the virus. (Don’t want to go down that road again.) All testing does is tell you IF you have the virus RIGHT NOW. It doesn’t tell you how long you have had it and how long you’ve been spreading it. If you’re negative it doesn’t keep you from picking it up on the way home from the test.
Oh, I know that. Just pointing out some discrepancies in jsc1953’s logic there: being an essential employee in a billion dollar business does not mean you get tested every day, let alone an employee in a billion dollar industry.
I do not know for a fact that big time college football plan(ned…it’s all but over) to do daily testing. But Amazon employees are completely disposable; if somebody calls in sick, someone else takes their place. If Trevor Lawrence gets sick, Clemson’s season is over. It’s in the university’s interest to have the tightest controls possible.
And yet the old guys who have no intention of putting themselves in harm’s way, are eager to see the young players (and their families) risk their lives and health. For example, former Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz:
You can see the logic! American troops were willing to give their lives for their nation in wartime; why can’t these wimpy football players do the same?!!??!? Why aren’t they willing to die so that Lou Holtz can make a buck as a network sports analyst??!?!???!
Note that Lou Holtz expressed these patriotic sentiments while working from home.
trump’s been on a twitter spree in the past several hours that hits on a lot of his favorite themes:
PROJECTION!
trump tweets a video with the theme “Biden has a racism problem”.
RACISM!
Tweets a dog whistle about how the “suburban housewife” (quote marks from trump for some reason) will be voting for him because he ended the low income housing program.
BULLYING!
Insults Kamala Harris (of course) and Bill Maher, for some reason (guess he caught an episode of Maher’s show during executive time).
DENIAL!
“96% Approval Rating in the Republican Party. Thank you! Also, leading in most swing states!”
CONSPIRACY THEORY PROMOTION!
