Right, they keep revising everything. There is not a lot that they have an actual handle on, but they pretend to quantify things to justify their rules.gougler08 said:

Lol "pro life" but anti mask which might save a life. What you mean is "pro life but not if it inconveniences me just a bit". But I get it, too wordy for your version of a live laugh love sign
Yeah...wearing an ineffective mask to make you feel safer going out in public is not like killing a baby.
good work adding another hot button issue to an already divisive topic!

I don't see it that way. I think they are going through the results data and trying to make it more accurate in terms of when cases occurred (epi curve).
The Harris County site now has the Epi Curve graph as the default tab. The default tab used to be the New Cases graph. If anything, they are now promoting a more optimistic view (Epi Curve graph) of how things currently are.
Also shows end of June/July was even worse than we thought.

That's an improvement, but Hidalgo still tweets "new cases".Soup93 said:

Slightly improved transparency.
For a case rate of slightly less than 1/10,000 for a 14 day span with no known parameters around PCR and no indication as to whether they were symptomatic or not.
I think we're up to ~30k college students positive nationally with zero hospitalizations. Covid seems way less of a problem than booze for college students at this point.
They are trying but this isn't clear to me. Does that mean 74% were collected 15 days ago or before?
They way I read it, 74% are more than two weeks old.

Generally the trend is established within 3-4 weeks, but I've seen moderate revisions to May & June as recently as this past week (some 3 months later) plus a big revision to July, 8 or 9 weeks after the fact.
My very rudimentary reading of the tea leaves is there are 3 "dates" that cases are published: date the results are made public, date the test was conducted and date the person began feeling unwell or may have become infected.
The news only publishes the first, as it is the only timely data point that refreshes each day.
The testing centers all have different labs that take different lengths of time to process results, so backdating to the date a test was performed takes several weeks to compile a representative sample.
The last date, when a positive case became ill or started feeling unwell is a time intensive investigation and with a high volume of cases contact tracing becomes impossible.

Almost as if it's being politicized by democratic leaders in an election year after failing to remove the president from office for 3.5 years?
Then you had an antigen test, of which there have been about 44,000 used in Texas compared with the 5.4 million tests that take a few days to several weeks to turn around. Rule of thumb, public test sites take 7-14+ days to turn around, private labs 2-5 days and hospitals a couple of hours.
My family has taken 5 individual tests at the Minute Maid lot c drive through. Turnaround on each was just over 24 hrs.
Fwiw I drove by the mega site over at San Jac College and Aztec rentals was taking all of the tents and equipment down. Looks like they are closing up shop.
So at least 3/4 of those have already gotten over the virus? Worthless numbers.
Eh... It's more than that. Because there will be another ~200 added to the "previous 14 days" tomorrow.
So it'll end up being about 200 per day, but still miniscule given the population.

Lines out the door at bars on Washington tonight. Haven't seen that in a minute.

This has been my biggest frustration. We're making rules and policy on absolute garbage data. 300 cases are from over a month old, going on historical trends id say a good chunk of those are from 2 months. So we won't know how many positives we had today for another 2+ months. We won't know how many deaths we had today for another 3+ months.
One side is being really disingenuous by showing the deaths and new cases as "today's" total. The other side is also being disingenuous by acknowledging that half the numbers are a month old but not acknowledging there will be an lag data for "today" coming out over the next weeks. They're taking the within two week number as if it's final.
Either way, the lag in data is unacceptable for creating policies and restrictions and, honestly, dumbfounding seeing how it's 2020.
Anybody that think Dora doesn't have bigger aspirations within the Democrat party needs to take a look at this.

This ***** actually thinks she has the power to change how a virus works. The virus was always going to act the way it did with or without mitigation. This dumb ***** is right on par with AOC and is a significant danger to the US.
She is just trying to take shots at the president. Abbott is the one who really ***** slapped her. Once again trying to act like she is more important than she really is.

Harris County Judge is a SIX year term.

The bars on 19th/20th street have been packed both Thursday and Friday. We're gonna see here pretty quickly if this thing is burned out or not.
