(6,164 posts)One is to see if you have personally contracted a serious disease, the other is to inoculate the nation against a serious disease.
One confirms a debilitating condition, the other works to prevent one.

(107,881 posts)You have to stand for something, but it appears the Republican Party of Texas is against COVID testing and short lines for voting.
Thats based on a trollish tweet the Texas GOP posted Friday that seemed to lambaste people who think its possible to have easy access to voting and COVID-19 tests.
People with actual empathy might recognize that the partys message didnt hit the way it was intended and just take the L, but the Texas GOP instead decided to stick, the way an 8-year-old kid might insist, I meant to do that after crashing their bike.
