They are forcing my wife to be tested in order to give birth at the hospital. What should I do?

Say no and show up when she's in labor. They won't turn her away.
When testing first came to our County, they were done by the National Guard in their temporary tents. You had to be referred by a Doctor so presumably you had some symptoms. Over 100 tests were done in 1 day and zero came back positive.
The NG hasn't been back, so presume that all tests since then are done in clinics and hospitals. Positive test results have spiked and we, along with the rest of the state, are now under mask orders.
I'll spit into a cup or blow my nose into a tissue if need be, but you're not sticking anything in me to get your sample.
If you need Any other surgery or procedure you Must get tested or No surgery. They gotcha by the balls.

I had surgery 2 weeks ago (6-26) and was not tested. It was not even mentioned. Can they test you without your consent?
Wouldn't be shocked if they did but that said no if you were Not swabbed and yet are contacted as a positive covid testee then someone fraudulently sent in a test with your name on it. Hopefully that didn't happen.

Even if the test is what they say it is (it's not) it does not test for a virus. It tests for an RNA sequence you can get from any number of causes.

Because they really want your DNA while simultaneously demoralizing you and giving you the virus.
...the same reason you need to "get the flu shot to prevent the flu"....
