Everyone “important” was saying with more testing there would be an “explosion” of cases. Which happened. And now everyone is acting surprised it’s happening.



And as we test a lot more, the overall mortality rate in the US is dropping. Its not too surprising we are seeing a lot more cases, we are just finally testing much more.

COVID

Are we talking 19, or one of the other ones?

Seems exaggerated for effect


it demonstrates how it has just “disappeared”. It’s a miracle!!

Obviously we’re testing more recently. Then again, we screwed the pooch in not testing earlier. Then again, it was “hoax” so why would we?

Dr. Birx did say last weekend to expect a huge exponential increase in the reporting this weekend due to the fact that they had a backlog of swabs from before the test was even completely developed that had been stored. To expect the private labs to start to catch up on the backlog + a week of testing and expect to see the graphs/charts shoot upward.

If the graphs/charts don't level off THEN there is a problem as it would mean the uptick is NOT due to backlog being cleared.

(Dr. Birx is older blonde Dr. lady)

quote:

"To every American out there that is watching the new cases, these are new cases coming from the backlog [of testing]," she said. "For samples that were collected four, five and six days ago and as those get run, our number of new cases will dramatically increase because they’re not daily cases, they’re cases that are from the last few days. Once we get through the backlog we’ll be able to to tell you precisely how many tests are negative, how many are positive and with this new reporting requirement it will be accurate."

Are you trying to convince everyone that the number of confirmed cases really started increasing fast when tests became plentiful?

What if your line does a back loop like a hot wheels track? How do you interpret that
