Would you like to compare New York's stats to Sweden. Comparing stats might tell a story. If the people of Sweden are happier with their results than we are, that might tell a story.
I honestly don't know. Do you?

Many doctors are puzzled by the agency's change.
Tweety: spends 6 months explaining he wants less covid testing so that his numbers look better.
CDC: suddenly changes guidelines to cut back on testing without explanation.
Media: "we have no info about why the CDC would do such a perplexing thing, it is an unknowable mystery".

It becomes a futile endeavor to respond to your posts, since the responses just become spring boards for some new attack point for you.
That's a good strategy in war, but a killer of rational conversation.
Very, very often, if we wait a few days, we find that what seemed like a nefarious action, is actually the opposite. Let's wait and see. There is already this response in the Washington Times: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news...-not-argue-an/ |
That's not a response, just confusing baloney without evidence.

The CDC just revised their testing guidance to exclude people without symptoms. Our work on the ‘silent’ spread underscores the importance of testing people who have been exposed to #COVID-19 regardless of symptoms. This change in policy will kill.
Meanwhile in places where it is not just the flu, that actually shut down and don't claim they have done a great job while having the worst results in the world.
