So, what is the answer here? Just shut everything down for two years so there is never a spike?

a lot of testing is being done for surgical patients as part of a pre screen. a lot of people are probably getting positive results and are completely unaware.

I agree. Americans won’t do the right thing unless there is punishment involved, and even then it’s iffy.

The positivity rate has doubled.


When compared to the lowest date recorded. When compared to the highest (15.85%), it's almost half.

What does getting tested before surgeries have to do with anything?

Are you intimating that people who are now getting previously delayed elective surgeries are more susceptible to the virus? That’s quite a leap.

He's saying there are people in the hospital who "have covid" who would have been there whether they had it or not.

Thanks for avoiding my death rate question bro.

It could be made a law tomorrow everyone has to wear face masks and everyone did the media would still continue to harp on Covid and find the next thing and then the next.

You also avoided the question about your boys Cruz and Gohmert and sealing up the border.

That is the plan from the demofrauds. Not having college football this year is a huge win for them.

He was trying to pinpoint the jump to adding antibody testing, making it an apples to oranges comparison.

He was wrong.

This is total hospitalizations. Not a new daily number. The state still has over 12,000 available hospital beds.
If that's true, what a desperately terrible miss on such an elemental part of the story.

TexasHorn wants another shutdown but he’s too much of a pussy to say it on here

Football season would be the least of your concern. If GOP governors start shutting down their states again you can kiss the WH goodbye if you’re trump.

You need to ask the governor why he’s making these threats in relation to the death rate. Not me. And the rest of your questioning is just bullshite, but you do you.

If serology testing is included in the number of new “positives,” then it’s very relevant. I’ll let you figure out why.
