Only 5 states have a positivity rate under 1%

And they are all on the East Coast...

Which gives me the opportunity to ask a question I've been wanting to ask for decades.

Why are the rest of you so screwed up?

 

There is some evidence that the virus actually began in the US in the northeast. And there is some evidence that herd immunity is further advanced there than elsewhere. That makes sense.

The horrible reliability of the PCR tests notwithstanding, it makes sense that they would see lower positivity rates, presuming that the tests are halfway accurate, not necessarily a safe presumption.

The other side of the coin is that the story regarding people who were never tested receiving positive result letters is becoming widespread, demonstrating that fraud in testing is ongoing.

 

Someone from the area with the highest death rates wants to know what others are doing wrong?

I'm confused.

Is not killing as many residents a bad thing?

 

Since "herd immunity" is not yet known to be existent or effective in the case of COVID in human beings, these speculations are not much involved in reality.

And that some particular locale is more advanced that another location cannot begin to be evaluated without enough testing and study to see somewhere might some better than another, assuming COVID immunity is effective, consistent, and long enough to helpful.

 

test symptomatic people, you get a high strike rate which is what should be the goal.

why waste test supplies on testing healthy people?

number of deaths is the key and it's dropping everywhere, and has been

 

Others know the subject matter better than you seem to. The first part of your first sentence is inaccurate. Herd immunity IS being seen in different locations. It was seen in Queens several months ago, but you missed it.

 

Not hard to tell.

For one thing, Maine never had a high death rate. 140 total, so far.

Next, NY got hit early and hard, and Trump was not helping. But they managed to get it under control. Which is what counts.

 

I think NYC is at 22%...

Add another 60% and we can talk.

 

Is there a higher death anywhere?

 

Really!?


So Queens was immune to Covid, but apparently so fleeting a time of safety it was missed by anyone except Herd Immunity-Isms followers!

Now Queens was Safe. Where next?

 

No, one study in Queens months ago showed that a high percentage of those tested carried the SARS antibodies.

And actually, there are more folks trying to hide the herd immunity stats than there are those pointing it out.

 

So whatever that gobbledygook is saying, apparently Queens should have little COVID there?

Wow!

So the scientific and medical communities have been hiding all of the Herd Immunity information to mislead America abd the world?

The leading medical and scientific organizations and universities don't have internet in order to inform the public of how to save more than the 200,000+ people already dead?

Wow, what a conspiracy! Well, at least the people who live in Queens are safe!
