There's also harm if you don't tell them a correct result. There's especially harm if you stop testing their neighbors to monitor community spread during a fucking global pandemic over this pointless red tape about providing results.

Thank you for elevating the discourse with phrases like "fucking global pandemic over this pointless red tape". A global pandemic is exactly when we should be thinking hard instead of trading insults.

A backhanded compliment is a form of insult, friend. I don't think this kind of ad hominem attack is substantially responsive to my remarks.

Pointing out that someone is using silly language with pointless effect is not an "ad hominem attack": can you point out anyone who might be confused by what I said?

Your use of "my friend" is similar to the thing you're complaining about. I got what you mean. Bringing up "ad hominem" is dodging the real issue.

Another comment of yours: "utterly stupid bureaucracy"
