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:Quote:

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.
Don't bring facts in.... we all know Bert got sources...Quote:

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?Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
You know this, but it's not going away... how many hospitalizations? It's just going to run its course...... some won't like that. But is what it is....id love to know the Asymptomatic positives though....Quote:

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.Quote:

32 super dome renovation employees tested positive today.
Idk why the numbers are different. Here's where I got 4413...Quote:

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...-idUSKBN23G37VQuote:

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?
I saw he mentioned October, but more bc COVID would coincide with flu season.Quote:

This one has really shown no sign of being seasonal. There was maybe some sign early on but I think that is beginning to look suspect. Now there is no doubt it will be worse when people start congregating inside again in large numbers. That will just be a function of proximity. The hard truth is probably not what most think now. Most seem to think since things are opening back up this is nearly over. The reality is we are probability just getting started.Quote:

I would think this coronavirus looks seasonal also. We seem to have more or less leveled off nationwide even after mostly opening up and having pretty large demonstrations with people packed pretty close together although granted outside. Unless there are a lot of people with immunity that we don't know about, it seems likely that the number of new infections holding steady is probably at least in part due to seasonality. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...-us-cases.htmlQuote:

I'm type O and it takes me about 5 to 10 mins to give blood. Just pours out of me.Quote:

Don't know what I had in Feb but it shore had almost identical symptoms to Covid.
Same here, I just had the antibody test and it also came back negative. I had most all of the typical symptoms, 3-week headache, dry cough, intense muscle aches, shortness of breath, severe tiredness and low grade fever. It took me 45 days to fully recover.Quote:

These kids will be fine, so I'm certainly not freaking out over this. I do think stories like this are really starting to put CFB this fall in jeopardy. States of Texas, Florida, Alabama, California, Arizona, and NC are experiencing large case numbers right now. We need this to calm down significantly imo if we wanna see football
I'm getting worried too. I don't see the purpose in testing asymptomatic players. I really don't. The high schools in MS are taking temps when they get to the field. As long as they don't have a fever or any symptoms, they practice. You know several of them have the virus.Quote:

Brazil with over 50k cases today. That's more than we've had in 1 day. According to worldometers, they've had 1.039 million cases and given only 2.334 million tests. Wow, we have 2.297 million cases, but given 27.333 million tests.
So, who to believe? The State of Mississippi or the CDC? Per the CDC as of June 19th, Mississippi has had 787 Covid-19 deaths. Per the MSDH website, Mississippi has had 938 Covid-19 deaths 3 days earlier on June 16th.
ONE more time: the CDC stuff is always delayed. They wait till they have confirming paperwork to list anything.Quote:
