I haven't said that. I am simply pointing out that we are in a SmartRestart campaign and not following the testing numbers that Burgum has laid out.

Why do people questioning our state's current testing capability enrage you so? Why worry what's going on in my mind? We've got loonies out there that think it's their right to parade around without a mask. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/05/04/security-guards-death-might-have-been-because-he-wouldnt-let-woman-store-without-mask/

It’s happened in other places so what makes North Dakota special?

I think the goal with testing is to allow us to respond before bodies start falling from the sky.

When does the testing stop? I think the bigger question is when will tighter social distancing restrictions be re-implemented.

I’m just going by numbers Burgum has mentioned. When we are mass testing long term care facilities but our test numbers are on the decline due to lack of supplies it’s a little disappointing.

I read we were shooting for 3000 daily in May here... https://bismarcktribune.com/news/local/health/covid-19-death-toll-in-north-dakota-rises-to-14-state-to-expand-testing/article_1d921361-9d82-584b-a988-e22531bc4dc2.html

If the Burgum is going to open things up claiming a smart restart and shooting for 3000 tests per day, there should be some follow through on this.

Oh I'd just like to see the percentage of positives continue to trend downwards. If we are going into this blindly is it really a smart restart?

We ran out of testing plates and the state lab has a backlog of 5000 plus tests. #smartrestart

Very important to those that matter to me I hope:) Make sure not to miss his next twitter post!

You asked me why I don't believe him. I don't read anything he writes because I have no interest in his writing. I'm honestly shocked I took the time to respond.

He lost me at pot creating psychotic behaviors.

If it makes you feel better I'd take your word over Berensen's any day.

Most would take Kaukster's word over Berensen's.

I'll take the CDC's word for it over Alex Berensen any day.

Isn't that basically where we are now, and going for herd immunity? Unfortunately we don't know anything about herd immunity with this virus. It's been around for a few months and we don't know that you catch it and are now immune. We don't know the affects this has on your long term health if you catch it. We don't really need to get into the benefits of wearing or not wearing a mask on your health. It's well known that you wear a mask to prevent droplets from spreading to another others. You can take it a step further and protect yourself by wearing a N95 mask, if you can get one. You'd think if processed meats are considered essential under the defense act that having an adequate PPE supply nationwide would be as well, but the world works in funny ways.

You do realize the CDC has made clear that they haven't changed how they classify deaths right? But yeah sure they are doing this to pad the covid numbers, under Trump!

Dead serious. Thanks for looking out we need more people policing this. Don't feel like a snitch, dispatch would love to take the info you provide to make the roads a safer place.

Feel free to call me in if I'm driving recklessly, am leaking any fluids, or dropping nails on the road. I'm all for safer driving.

That's great news, let me share it with everyone I know who works in a hospital or long term care setting. Can you tell me the last time the flu killed 60,000 people in the US in one month?

You want my plates? feel free to pm me.

I'd agree that many could use some training on hygiene and mask wearing skills. Thankfully this thing is in our rear view mirror eh?

What do you have against wearing a mask to protect others? If you see me speeding feel free to call me in. Difference is I'm not calling you in....but I'll call you out.

For now it's your choice. If you are in Grand Forks and shop at Hugo's, they are asking you to wear a mask. If you really disagree with that request, buy your groceries from somewhere else.
