(2,375 posts)Why are all these rich people going public that they are able to get tested with little or no symptoms?
Trying to rub it in to us common folk?
I can't get a test because I don't have all the symptoms required, so I am at home possibly infecting my entire family.
Pisses me off.
They want us peons to know that they have access.

The party this month that is thought to have accelerated the local spread of the novel coronavirus could have been attended by 100 or more guests , town officials said Tuesday, despite original reports of only 40 attendees.
The party has attracted local and national attention in a Monday story in the New York Times, it was called Party Zero as the number of confirmed coronavirus cases locally, regionally and nationally has skyrocketed in the last week. As of Tuesday, Westport has the most cases 79 with at least 20 believed to be connected with the party of any municipality in Connecticut.
We were originally told 40, but it became apparent that there were more probably in the 100 range, said Sara Harris, operations director for the town. And there are rumors that there were more.
