My problem is this:


What do I do if I think I have it?


No answer in 4 months. My nose is running. I'll catch it.

I met 2 people tonight who both tested positive, never had any symptoms. Stayed home 2 weeks. Now back out and about. Never had a fever

SA was not too bad a place in the 70s, kind of went downhill during the 90s. I enjoyed going down there when I attended UT. Nowdays it's nowhere near the town it used to be..IMO

Thanks

Never have a better example of SAMPLE ERROR

Looks like some of the health departments are changing definitions to manipulate data.

Look how easy it is to increase the number of "cases" by a factor of 10 or more.

The Democrats and Uni-Party Republicans need this covid-19 to "get worse" to help keep Trump from being re-elected in November.

See...again...it's like you have no internal editor...you should realize what an absolutely DICKISH, OBNOXIOUS, ARROGANT reply that was...

AS IF he was trying to pass his example off as some SCIENTIFIC STUDY???...as if he doesn't know it counts for nothing but an anecdotal example.

Jesus man...give your freakin' head a shake. Something isn't right up there.

Let's repeat for emphasis in case HCAP doesn't get it the first time:

But the fact is the recent spikes don't actually line up all that well with re-openings, either timing-wise (since they began in April and have been gradual; not a sudden rush of re-openings on June 1) or geographically (e.g. also happening in CA, which has been quite cautious).

I will admit California's spikes may have something to do with protests, but since congregating outdoors wearing masks is ~20 times less risky then indoor and mask-less, why do you continue to ignore factual evidence that cases, hospitalizations and fatalities post G.F.demonstrations, in places like NYC and Wash DC or on the decline?

It could easily be both. But "indoor and mask-less," is far worse.

I think Memorial day, May 25th lines up with mostly younger people partying indoors maskless. Contributing to spikes.

Daily cases begin to increase RIGHT after

OMG, LA mayor agrees

So businesses reopening aren't to blame. Young, progressive democratic voters are to blame.

Thank you for playing. Only took you a month to see reality.

As far as I remember, all persuasions of parties party. Especially when young.

The problem of exponential growth of covid-19 is more complex. Evidently the status of how many cases in the local, city and state right before memorial day and the protests were magnified. Take your pick.

NYC is the case for that. De Blasio and Cuomo should be commended.

The real reason covid cases are going up dramatically is through contact tracing. If one person tests positive everyone the tracers deem he came in contact with is now counted as positive, without testing to confirm.

One positive miraculously turns into 25 by tracer speculation.

youtube video Are Coronavirus/COVID-19 case numbers being manipulated?

How else can mail in voting, cancel DNC convention, shutdown economy, stopping rallies, etc. be achieved?

Stopping Trump at all costs.

[woodtoo]

Every doctor, nurse, healthcare worker clinic worker and their entire families are now counted as positive. And more.

Work in close contact with a very infectious agent and GUESS WHAT happens eventually? MANY get the bug..... NOT all are counted.
This is particularly happening NOW when these brave people had to make do with things like plastic trash bags for protective equipment.

If outdoor congregations were wholly to blame in this bump, WOULDN'T NYC have the biggest increases?
