Does that not make the state testing data seem like bullshite wrapped in bullshite to you?
State data hovers around 10-15% for that age group, yet they test 30,000 students and get a 0.83% return?

It’s almost like... kids that age don’t get or spread it as much as older demographics. Shocking news.

If it saves just 0.83 lives

State data meaning what? The 15% are people that went in for a test and returned positive or they were selected randomly? If randomly it should be a lot closer to the 30k amount. If it’s people that went in for a test of course it”ll be higher

well I'm not sure how much I trust a bunch of 18-22 year olds with mail-in kits either 
and wouldn't the university system be part of the state as well?

Wouldn't the state testing be from kids that were tested either due symptoms or contact testing? The 30,000 looks like random sampling.

So, extremely low positive pct with group that needs the money, high pct for fear porners
Seems, strange

Because kids in that age group aren't going to get tested unless they are exhibiting significant symptoms. 18 year olds aren't running to get tested every time they sneeze
So is that not the case?

i imagine this is a bigger display of the SES differences in CV19 exposure

What reason do they have to cheat the test? Or are you saying they didn’t use the tests correctly?

What concerns me is that just a week ago, we were being told by the AL Dept of Health via the media that the state had a major backlog of tests with result wait times being up to two weeks.
Now, in a week or so, they've tested 30K college students and have gotten the results back? Sure, they are now doing limited "pooled testing", but it just isn't a great look.

The liberal media, if they even bring up these results, will most definitely question the validity of these results and find some way to stereotype the State of Alabama in the process

Give them a bit, they haven't had a chance to manipulate them yet.

No one wants to talk about the dirty little covid secret.
It does not kill kids.
Thats why the big10 is using this bullshite heart disease side symptom thing.
0-14 = 26 total
0-24 = 151 total
You read that right 151 total. Please explain how college athletes are at risk.
Less than 7% of the total deaths are under 55!
Everyone outside of retirement range legitimately has a greater risk of dying of just about anything else.
It's hard as hell to find because it doesn't fit the liberal narrative. But, here are the latest infection fatality rates by age.
5-9 - 0.0016%
10-19 - 0.00032%
20-49 - 0.0092%
50-64 - 0.14%
65+ - 5.6%
All - 0.64%
Can we please just move the frick on?

It just goes to show you that testing the general population vs. those who have reason to be tested end in very different results.
The idiocy is in making decisions based on the latter percentage because, as you see, it is not representative of the former.
Each state should be doing several geographic, randomly sampled groups to test and trend the true infection rate. That is very doable. It's very cost effective. And, it adds TONS of clarity to the situation.
