I'd like to know how the count is done so rapidly every 24 hours with a state that has thousands of hospitals? My wife worked as an RN for 30 years and says statistics take at least 48-72 hours to get to a mainframe for registering data, so I too call BS!
?
No one said there is a 24 hour turnaround. "New" cases are from tests that probably happened 4-7 days ago. In some cases much longer than that.

There is no way you can confidently say that the hospitals can handle the surge when cases are skyrocketing. If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll know they don’t have the staffing to open up more beds.
That’s the whole thing with this issue - people are making claims that it’s fine, when it clearly isn’t.

So, you’re implying it’s a crisis yet you think we can have people back on campus and college sports?

As of now, they are fine. They say they can handle several hundred more. They can also shut down elective surgeries to get more capacity.
You don’t know shite.

Right now it’s a crisis. The cases are skyrocketing. The goal is to get it back down to manageable levels where we don’t see rising numbers of cases. Manageable is where you see the numbers falling consistently. Then you can go back to school. This is what the people on the Coronavirus task force are saying.
What doctors or scientists are telling you otherwise?

None of that is realistic
If we are just going off of cases this will be a “crisis” for years as your overlords likely intend.
At some point you need to get ahold of yourself, realize you have testosterone, and understand that we cannot hide from this virus.

Here's a thought - sometimes shitty things happen. And just because a shitty thing might happen it doesn't make sense to make policy to make sure more shitty things happen. If any place encounters a situation where its medical facilities/personnel are truly overwhelmed by COVID, then we deal with that. We figure out the best way forward. We do the best job we can to treat those afflicted.
It makes zero sense to compound a potential crisis with a certain crisis of greater magnitude.

No, it's not. H1N1 cases in 2019 were growing at a pace 10 times higher than Covid. No one was screaming 'CASES!!!' then.

Now do deaths.

The people in the med center that I talk to say they are overwhelmed. I know that.

That’s easy. Stop testing asymptomatic people.

No. Doctors and administrators.

The problem with opening the schools is not the kids (although there will be I’m sure tragic results among the littles).
Schools become the vector that spreads the disease to households. It nullifies the isolating effects of shutdowns, WFH, and social isolation. Every time your kid sits in a close contact with 20 other likely asymptotic carriers in an ancient building with a creaky HVAC system, the chances of the disease spread goes through the roof. Little Johnny is most likely how your parents with COPD catch it. Not going to Gas ‘n Sip.
Immediately closing the schools in March is likely what helped the low infection states avoid the disease prior to reopening. Once it got loose in the schools in NYC and Italy, every household had it.

What’s the transmission rate of children to adult for this Coronavirus?

Denton County, one of the four counties comprising the DFW metroplex:
Through June 10th there were 36 deaths out of a total of 1563 cases. That is one death in every 43.4 cases. That's a 2.3% mortality rate.
Since then, there has been 1 death and an additional 1759 cases. That's a current mortality rate of 0.057% in the last month, basically.
In fact, today marks 28 days, four-weeks, since a death in Denton County attributed to Covid-19.
