china virus has NOTHING to do with the massive increase in testing....wouldn't logic dictate if you're looking for it more you're gonna find it more?

Pushing testing was a massive tactical Trump blunder.

Logic has never been involved with anything to do with coronavirus.

Even with vaccinations they are going to be heavily pushing testing because you could still be a "carrier".

This is why I shut off from caring what the spike in cases was about. Logic would say "That's great more people are getting tested" but the news is "Holy frick shut the country down from all these positive tests!"

testing or not, it's pretty tough to get a hospital bed in Louisiana right now. That's a fact. And I'm not just talking about beds for COVID patients either. Someone that shows up in the Houma ER, may get shipped all the way to Shreveport or wherever they can find a bed.

Which fact checker? Link?


The issue really isn't that the summer or the current surge is overstated. It is more that the first surge was massively understated due to lack of testing.

But put aside cases. As another poster stated, COVID hospitalizations are way up. Deaths are up compared to the summer (but not quite the initial wave). I am referencing Louisiana here.


But overall, turning off your headlights doesn't mean you aren't about to hit a tree.

Back in the old days (2019), a "case" = being sick.

Today, a "case" = being sick OR testing positive asymptomatically OR contact traced to someone who tested positive.
