The app for independent voices

The less we test and report, the faster we can have our lives back. Encourage people not to test, not to report anything to anybody, nor to use medical services unless clearly extreme. My kid texted me to bring him some ibuprofen (school will not dispense without a signed Magna Carta). I show up in the health office and ask that he be brought over. "Why are you here?" "The kid said he has a headache, I have some meds from home for him." (Thought I was doing the right thing.) "Er sir (he puts on his mask), we have a protocol for symptomatic COVID to follow and headache is one of the things I will need to get him tested for. Is he currently under a physician's care for headache?" (I quick calculate......) "Um yeah, he has been seeing a....doctor....for this....um muscle tension headache from an....injury." (I all but say 'Yeah, that's the ticket!' but I don't.) Nurse guy de-escalates and takes his mask off. "Next time bring a note from your doctor." "Sure thing pal." When they add teenage acne to the list of COVID symptoms to watch for, it will already be too late.
