Updated stats as of 8 am EDT. Wyoming had their second death yesterday. Seven states with 1-2 deaths and seven states with 0 deaths yesterday.
They have to use nasal swab or any new test that measures active infection. A person can have an active infection and not have antibodies.
I keep thinking they can't be any more incompetent, then being surprised by their ability to be even less competent than I thought they were. Trump Launched a Coronavirus Economic Council Without Telling Members They Were on It
Problem is that the results are good for that day. Person could have been infected between time test was done and results received. Can we get covid badges that light up like radiation badges? Almost need real time monitoring
Yes we all know how the test works and the antibodies process. Taking an active swab test does nothing to let us know who is safe to return for work. If I nasal swab test 1000 employees at a company and 6 test positive that doesn’t mean the other 994 are safe to return to work. If I run the antibody test on the same 1000 and 650 come back as positive it is much safer to return employees.
As the saying goes... If you can't blind them with brilliance, you baffle them with bullshit. In this narrow aspect, Trump is a powerfully, bigly genius!
That's ok. I'm still waiting for Coronavirus cases to be close to zero and magically disappear in the US. Or all those drive-through testing sites at Walmart, Target, Walgreens, and CVS. Not one yet in Arizona, though there was a story about two coming soon. Or how about the Google site Trump promised? But Obama once said something about keeping your doctor and Hillary had her emails, so I guess it's all good.
Mic drop on CNBC. The were reporting on Germany opening things up and the protocols that were being put and place. Once over, it went back to one of pundits and.... With a chuckle, he said " well thats what happens when your country is run by engineers and chemists" Bozinga!!!!!!
This just got pushed out to me. Both incredibly sad and ghoulish. After Anonymous Tip, 17 Bodies Are Found at Nursing Home Hit by Virus — The New York Times
posted about that late last night when I saw it. I cannot imagine the actual infection rate in that facility right now. You would think they would be required to disclose infection rates but I bet they do not have enough tests to even do a single facility that size let alone all facilities of a similar nature.
maybe if we had accepted their test when they offered it we would be having legit conversation about loosening things up now.
No need for all that testing mumbo jumbo. Trump knows more about this virus than all the epidemiologists out there. When he tells us it's time to get out there, we can be confident he knows what he's saying and has our best interests at heart.
his metrics are the best metrics ever; perfect, strong, powerful metrics. Best metrics by the best, strongest, most perfect, powerful war time president ever.
