well, the new "normal" established around the last week or so, is about 12% positive test rate, in comparison to about 5% for all of May. so there seems to clearly be more people testing positive, as a percentage, even allowing for the two spikes that you point out.BohunkAg said:
On this last one
Pay attention to how when the testing goes down the positive rate goes up, and when the testing goes up, the positive rate goes down. We ran short of tests here a couple weeks ago, and they started testing only the symptomatic again as a result. She said "I'm no conspiracy theorist, but in a week they will be hyping the high positivity rate here." It's exactly what happened.
I don't know if the politicians are dumb, looking for something to latch onto, or it's a concerted effort, but the lack of their grasp of statistics and trends is amazing.
I am happy to hear that, because I honestly did forget the winky. If you didn't get the joke and took offense, you'd be justified and it would be 100% on me.Panama Red said:cone said:

Im curious too. My wife and I both tested on the 28th, but didnt get our positive results until the 3rd. Which day are we counted towards?AgLiving06 said:
Interestingly, if this is true, it probably means it flattened a week ago and test results are just catching up.
I have a coworkers who's been waiting all week to confirm he and his wife have it. They have all the classic symptoms and it has been mild, but they are still waiting.
Probably all of them, with the way they're counting.IronRed13 said:Im curious too. My wife and I both tested on the 28th, but didnt get our positive results until the 3rd. Which day are we counted towards?AgLiving06 said:

In an interview with CBS19 on Friday, Governor Greg Abbott said a lack of masks and a spike in COVID-19 could, as a last resort, lead to "the necessity of closing Texas down."
He also said he's disappointed some local governments refuse to enforce his recently issued Executive Order.
"It's disappointing," Gov. Abbott said. "And again, I can understand the mindset being a kid who grew up in Longview myself, that this may not be the top priority. A murderer, or a rapist or a robber is far more serious to concentrate on. However, I know this also, and that is if we do not all join together and unite in this one cause for a short period of time, of adopting a mask, what it will lead to the necessity of having to close Texas back down. That should be the last thing that any government wants the last thing that any business owner wants.

That's the weirdest thing to me. Worldometers says TX lost 3,000 yesterday. Did the majority of those actually occur 2 weeks ago and were looking in the past more than we think?
I think that if someone has a stroke, dies, and is tested and has Covid that that would take 2 weeks to report. I think that if someone is in the ICU for 2 weeks with Covid and dies that would be reported as such immediately.htxag09 said:
Do you think that means nobody has died within 2 weeks?
chrisrrtx said:
Anyone else notice that the majority of the deaths are Hispanic with black trailing in second and white a distant third?
Is that a possible sign of genetics in play or possibly a tie to socioeconomic status?

Fixed. Definitely looked at the table too quickly.
My question still stands tho.
