    Covid deaths and hospitalizations ride to the rescue ...

    Is it me or do these infection headlines seem to magically
    appear when some other news detrimental to democrats
    needs to be covered up ?
    Now that the voting fraud is slowly being exposed, how
    handy that there's a sudden spike in infections to knock
    that news off the air from the few places where it is
    actually acknowledged.

      What voter fraud?

          where, and what is the % or correlation between number of tests now, and before?

          in other words,

          if said area has an increase in %, what was the increase in % of testing?

            Positive test rates under 5% are considered a sign of adequate testing, that there is enough info there to hopefully help limit the spread.

            Middle of the country is 15% or higher positive test rates, which is bad, meaning that they don't have an adequate enough handle on who has it to knock down the rate of spread. High positive rates go with R0 values >1, which are signs of spreading contagion.

                What I would like to know is, how do they manage to come up with numbers of 150,000 a day. That's cases and cases of Q-tips.
                If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.

                  how many people have to be tested to come up with the 150.000 a day, at that rate everyone in the US would have it by now.

                    reversing the math based on the percentage in various areas that test positive, 2.5+ million have to be tested, (at a 6% positive)


                    Va considers an outbreak of more than 2 people,


                    and we are no where near capacity in the hospitals

                    - - - Updated - - -

                    keep in mind also, re the ICU's,
                    hospitals don't make $$$ by having super large ICU's,
                    they want them at a certain % capacity during normal times to be profitable,

                      It's fair to say the horses are out of the corral, and there aren't enough cowboys to do much about it anytime soon.

                        More people are getting it but fewer are dying from it.
                        Either we are getting stronger or it is getting weaker.

                          or we are learning more about it,

                          there was an article out there in the www the other day that had a correlation between flu shots and The Rona,

                          apparently a lot of health care workers that had flu shots were doing better with The Rona, or not catching it, compared to those that did not,



                          re those horses,, they may be out the stable, but as dogtag alluded, they are just wandering around at the moment, not galloping across the field

                            Ohio now has a MANDATORY mask requirement for all with more to come later in the month. Business are REQUIRED to have all staff/customers wear masks or not admit any customers. If the customer takes the mask off in the business any employee is to ask to have it put back on or leave the store. A division of state government [I forget which one] will spot check Ohio business as well as reports called in. Business that get caught will first be given a written warning, 2nd offense is a 24 hour mandatory shut down.
                            I have seen too many, especially old ones refuse to wear any face covering.

                              Why didn't you mention this sooner? The State Dictator of NY (not the legislature) dictated the same requirement 5 mos ago. I could have been living in Ohio during those months in relative freedom!

                              I (& many others) defy it as much as we can, but must submit in order to live--i.e., buy food, which means going inside a gro store. God Damn to Hell all, like Togor, who defend this tyranny.
