Covfefe-19 The 12th Part: The Only Thing Worse Than This New Board Is TrumpVirus2020

[Swansong]

Don't agree- there are many people who are not making it on their wages and do a lot of other stuff on the side. A lot of those side jobs are not happening now.

I understand what you're saying. Set the pay rate to something approaching reality and let it be that. Details matter, of course, but when I said "replace the lost wage" I was being intentionally vague.

America First.

While the US is drowning in Covfefe-19 and nothing being done, the government has sent three loaded cargo planes to aid those in the Beirut explosion.

“The coronavirus spread to over 90 people from five counties in Ohio after an infected man attended a church service earlier this year.

Fifty-three of the cases resulted from fellow worshippers at the service, who later spread COVID-19 symptoms to others in their community.

CA is the third state to make 5-figures in deaths.

1. NY
2. NJ
3. CA

TX and FL are racing to become the 4th.

CDC: "For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death."

So wait. Now DeWine tested negative. Uhhhh. That’s... not how PCR tests work typically. Trust the positive if you get a PCR test.

Yeah it’s...bizarre

Can't they just send in the county health inspector to order the restaurant closed for violating a public health order?

AFAIK the authority for that lies at the state level (Alaska is weird). The Municipality of Anchorage (the combined City and Borough government for Anchorage) is taking these restaurants to court to force them to comply.

Georgia high school reopens. Conditions are shockingly unsafe. Student posts footage documenting condition. High school takes immediate action and suspends student.

lmao

God's plan.

Some plan. Have people test positive for RNA of a virus and not even have an active infection.

scary stuff.

[rufus]

2 students now, apparently. And any other students in the future who post stuff making the school look bad.

No Covid if there's no reporting on it.

Again, how in the hell did a scientific health problem become a political thing like this??!!?!?!!?!? People are dying because "leaders" are tying to score political points.

Every issue is political now. The right wants it that way. What I want is for people to more rapidly relocate to the states that best suit their political persuasions. We need to get on with the dismantling of America and that would help. This country is going down the tubes because the minority have far too much influence. I am tired of 35-40% of the people holding 60-65% of us hostage. Concentrate yourselves into a region and restart the confederacy. And this time I say let them go, because the sooner I no longer have to share resources or a constitution with them, the better.

PCR often will have false negatives. There are several reasons/circumstances that can increase your risk of a false negative. For instance, a common sporadic disorder that we use PCR for is HSV encephalitis (herpes encephalitis). Often you have to test 2-3 times to get a positive result and you always trust the positive because it means you are actively detecting viral genetic material in the medium sampled. What is not well known in the medical community (and I teach all my residents this) is that if you get blood in the lumbar puncture (which can happen in a normal tap), it will almost inevitably result in a false negative.

The molecular probes used are very specific, so you are absolutely correct that when you have a positive, you can be very confident the virus is present.


Edit: Sounds like the initial reporting was wrong. https://www.npr.org/sections/coronav...he-coronavirus
First test was an antibody test according to NPR, second test x2 was PCR which were both negative. With that sequence, it is pretty hard to tell with a high level of confidence what his virus interaction has been. Antibody tests are more likely to have false positives and must be interpreted with some caution. With PCR negative x2, it is fairly likely he does not have an active infection.
