If we stop testing ... we won't have any more cases.
If you are wondering why our numbers went from record positive cases to a quick decline:
2 weeks ago, we were testing an avg. of 4.7k tests per day with a 7% positive rate.... Now we are only testing 1.6k per day, but we have increased our positive rate to 20%, which is staggering and one of the highest in the country.
Summary: tater is fudging the numbers by making the requirements for a test stricter and/or harder to get. His bootlicking marching orders from the DC bunker are being carried out.
Last 5 Monday cumulative tests on that day:
June 15: 230,503
June 8: 208,212
June 1: 176,254
May 25: 143,917
May 18: 115,767

Not sure where you get that 1,600/day at. While testing did drop, icu and vents are staying relatively flat. How do you explain that if there's a cover up of an outbreak?
ETA... the last week, we've tested 22,291. If there were a 20% positive rate, that would be 4,459 new cases this past week.
Why is bert not banned? When he came here woth that BS Napier story he said to ban him if he was wrong. Hes obviously a troll
Researchers say steroid is the first drug proven to improve COVID-19 survival rates

The US has very small numbers, soon will be zero and then one day will just disappear... like magic. Probably by April when it warms up. We're doing a great job.
Where are you getting your numbers?
How do you explain the decline in deaths? I think it has more to do with the number of long term care facility outbreaks dropping from 127 to 85.
Is there a link to anyone saying they are being turned away while trying to get a test? PM me if anybody in central ms needs a test and can't get one.
Compared to standard treatment, dexamethasone seemed to reduce the chances of dying by a third for ventilator patients and by a fifth for patients on oxygen.
It still needs to survive peer review but it's a positive development. And the fact that it's cheap and widely available is also good news.
People might be onto the "attribute unrelated death to Covid" with the five different people suiciding by publicly hanging themselves in front of giant public buildings having the Cops saying they are suiciding because of corona. Wonder if they get added to the counter.
Sounds like we need more transparency into cause of death investigations instead of believing they were suicide by corona.
Texas with 4413 cases today. Their previous high was 2437.
Why does this say 2622 new cases today? Article I googled says same number.
And I couldn't find much on daily deaths in Texas

The only thing I can find on hospitalizations is at covidtracking.com, 2,518 current. The site doesn't have previous hospitalizations though, so that number is pretty worthless.
And you're right, hospitalizations is the number to look it. I don't like big spikes in case numbers though bc I wanna have fans in the stands this fall, and I know big case numbers will spook the ncaa.
32 super dome renovation employees tested positive today.
Idk why the numbers are different. Here's where I got 4413...

My test was negative. I’m disappointed. I had to go to work.
Seriously though, my family and I have been traveling from central Mississippi to north Alabama several times over the past couple of months. Eating at restaurants. Interacting with people. Using public restrooms while traveling. Stopping at gas stations all over both states. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been to Lowes and Walmart. Spending money and potentially getting “exposed” to the rona. Nothing. We do wear masks and I carry sanitizer in my pocket so we are at least trying not to catch it but I just thought I would share how much I’ve been in public locations without contacting this thing.
Still showing a dropping 7 day average despite a lot of positive cases today:
The mask wearing is why https://www.reuters.com/article/us-h...-idUSKBN23G37VI cannot speak for all of Texas, but here is the best link for the Houston Metro for COVID info..Quote:
Population-wide face mask use could push COVID-19 transmission down to controllable levels for national epidemics, and could prevent further waves of the pandemic disease when combined with lockdowns, according to a British study on Wednesday.

1,272 new cases yesterday in the Houston Metro, 10% positive test rate, 10% of all hospital beds are Covid, 17% of ICU beds, Projected to exceed ICU capacity in under 2 weeks.
why does Faucci keep talking about a 2nd wave when this 1st wave seems to be never-ending?
