    Yes, this is the usual BS.

    The state trumpeted a declining rate of COVID infections, then set their increases in allowing more people to be open.

    Then as the lies and massive errors in the bad data became apparent, the state corrects to ensure more people have a chance to get sick and die!

    It is the Trump-Republican Way that they learned in war casualties.

    Watching Rachel Maddow talk to the mayor of Montgomery Ala live... Alabama hasn't been much in the news, either for cases or reopening issues. Mayor has said things are in the process of reopening, but their daily cases aren't even remotely in decline..

    https://alpublichealth.maps.arcgis..../index.html#/6d2771faa9da4a2786a509d82c8cf0f7

    (Go to Tab #5)

    Hmm... did they not get the CDC guidelines??

    Hey, at least they managed to get the dates in date order.... Props there!!

    (Yes, I'm aware the alt-righties have their ball sacs retract at the name Rachel Maddow, but get over it... she got me to look at the graph I posted, which is newsworthy)

    That makes sense to me, if you are trying to track daily spread, that you use the day most likely infected rather than date reported.

    The Fake New Media and health "experts" are about give up their newfound power over almost the entirety of human life, they are longing for assurances of a ‘second wave’ of infections this fall to hype to the moon.

    The extent of their panic became clear in mid-May when on May 15, Fake News CNN checked back in to Georgia, the state that had started reopening in April without expert pre-clearance. On April 21, Fake News Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank wrote that GA governor Brian Kemp was seeking to ‘turn his state into the place to die.’

    Three weeks later, things were not looking good for the proponents of indefinite shutdown. ‘Since reopening late last month,’ CNN glumly reported, ‘Georgia hasn’t seen a spike in coronavirus cases.’ Time to change the standards for success: ‘But there also hasn’t been a significant decrease in new case counts,’ the cable channel added. New case counts had decreased — 6 percent over a week — but the drop just wasn’t ‘significant,’ by CNN’s lights. Moreover, CNN pointed out, that downward trend was ‘unsteadily downward,’ as if any set of data does not have daily fluctuations.

    https://spectator.us/short-guide-justifying-re-lockdown/

    The next day, Fake News MSNBC addressed the national decline in new cases. The trend was ‘downwards,’ they admitted, but the ‘numbers were still horrible.’ That Fake News MSNBC would define any numbers as ‘horrible’ was a foregone conclusion; the issue is where those numbers are heading. In light of that downward trend, it was time to trot out what was then the media’s favorite doomsday prediction. The US is facing the ‘darkest winter in modern history,’ Fake News MSNBC reminded viewers.

    On May 17, the Fake News New York Times crushed its competition with the most audacious effort yet to turn good news into bad. ‘NEW CASES IN US SLOW, POSING RISK OF COMPLACENCY,’ read the lead headline. Sub headlines further limned the gloomy picture: ‘TRAJECTORY UNCERTAIN,’ ‘Spikes Feared As the Very Steps That Curbed the Virus Are Lifted.’ Do not stop being fearful, in other words. While the virus risk may go down, complacency risk replaces it, leaving us as threatened as before. The only proper posture is to shelter in place permanently.

    Bullshit.They back date it for one reason...to make past numbers higher and current numbers lower in order to make it appear as if numbers are decreasing when they aren't

    That makes no sense at all. If you want to know when a person got infected you would use the date they likely were infected.

    But, your anger and frustration is interesting. The data is showing that infection rates are slowing and to you this ISN'T GOOD NEWS!

    You folks are something else.

    ONCE AGAIN, THE NARRATIVE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN MORE ALARMING THAN THE FACTS JUSTIFY: Asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 Carriers Are Not Very Contagious.

    “If someone doesn’t feel bad and exhibits no symptoms of disease, he can generally go about his business without harming others. If you feel bad, you should stay home. If you feel bad, stay home. If you feel okay, report to school or work. So what have we learned in this study that our mothers didn’t teach us?”​

    So, more "bad" news!

    Georgia is still looking pretty good. Cases are trending up, but deaths trending down.

    Georgia always seem like it's on the verge of a breakdown. But maybe that's just what it's going to look like from now on. You push down here and it pops up there.

    Just like everywhere, they're getting hit in nursing homes. Plus, Georgia had an outbreak in a veteran's home, but no deaths fortunately.

    It does seem like if we really have enough tests we should test nursing homes, prisons, VA hospitals and processing plants.

    The first restriction everywhere was shutting out family visits to nursing homes. So that only leaves staff going in and out. CDC said a few weeks ago that every resident and employee should be tested. Only a couple states met the deadline, and some don't think it's a good use of resources. With employees going in and out, they would need to be tested every single day. The U.S. has about 1 million people in these homes at any given time and employee turnover is high.

    It's hard in general to keep infections out of nursing homes, so with no immunity to this new virus, this group of seniors are getting hit hardest. That's happening globally. :(

    There aren't enough tests. The end-care nursing homes house around 1 million residents and prisons incarcerate a little over 2 million people (of course, jails/prisons are revolving doors). Not sure how many people are employed in food processing, but we'd need over 3 million tests per day just for nursing homes and prisons.

    It does seem like they could test employees daily and residents/inmates one time (unless there is an outbreak), since the latter are about as isolated as possible.

    Yes, the global shortage of materials to produce enough tests is definitely Trump's fault. He's all-powerful.

    after I read "per capita", then "population of 8500", I can easily dismiss this as anything important.

    It’s sad that you think the greatest country on earth can’t come up with enough tests and friggin swabs... and it bothers you not at all.

    oh and has Trump used the DPA to get them yet?

    no? Oh...

    We're doing all right, testing 250,000 to 300,000 per day. If I want a test, I can get a test in Texas. I expect you can too, even in New York.

    Curve's looking good. That's all that matters.
