Oh good grief, what are you talking about? There you go again, jumping to unwarranted conclusions. That comment proves nothing. She just did a basic search to see if you've been posting about her on other threads. She could as easily said that it is you who are stalking her.

NYC throws in the towel on "Testing, Testing, Testing!" After multiple articles claiming widespread testing was an easy way to conquer the virus and giving hope to millions that drive-thru testing was some kind of panacea, the Washington Post grapples with explaining what happened. As I tried to explain on this thread, testing was always going to be more problematic than most people seemed to realize. Many of the points I made last week are now being made by one of the instigators of this false meme, WAPO. The virus was always going to move too fast for testing to be meaningful unless every single person could be tested every single day. A person could test negative one day and then positive the next. Widespread testing with this virus was always going to be behind the curve, making it a waste of manpower and possibly giving false hope to people. That's not to say that very soon it might be a good idea to choose a location in the country and test everyone in a specific section at the same time and then repeat it with the same people at certain time intervals. The goal would be to determine how many never get infected, how many get infected but get well while remaining asymptomatic, how many get infected and experience symptoms, and how many die. This is the kind of data needed for policy-making. The public would need to understand that it's not going to be used for quarantining, etc., thus no confusion or false hopes. Cuomo got it last week, as evidenced in some of this remarks. Today the Post gets it.....partly. Perhaps Biden and Pelosi will soon get it, too and the MSM will stop dumbing the public down. In their drive to knock Trump off, the MSM missed the life-saving opportunity to early on get the public to practice self-distancing and at least some self-isolation--staying home more--as well as the importance of masks and gloves. washingtonpost.com

LOL I thought you might say that. But actually, other people read that thread and sent it to me. I get sent a lot of posts that mention me- and it's nice to live rent free in your heads- no matter what games you are playing. Stalking 101 is - don't post to your "stalker". So I guess what you're saying is, I'm not your stalker and you aren't upset- you're just game playing. You posted about me, hoped someone would tell me, and then posted to me here- I guess hoping I'd post to you about this. So you, I guess, are stalking me trying to "trap" me. Is that right? I think I understand. But I figured you for a fake as soon as I saw the post. Thank you for confirming it. Gosh. Genius. So basically, you're a liar and you're trying to trap people on the internet into believing you? So you're in the middle of a pandemic playing little high school games. Genius! That's you.
