If bored people and hypochondriacs would stop going to free testing events and the ones that get sick would only go to the hospital when they are sick enough to need to go to the hospital, the numbers would all but flatline. If I suddenly started getting symptoms, I'd treat it like every other illness I've ever had except I'd quarantine myself from my family. If my conditioned worsened to the point I had trouble breathing, I'd go to the hospital, otherwise I'd ride it out just like I've ridden out the flu half a dozen times in my life.

Hey, that's a good point. How do we know that people aren't going to multiple places to get tested on different days? If one person goes for a test a day for 10 days, and they are positive, that one person would count for 10 cases in the state count.

Just more proof that these numbers are fraudulent and false.

My idiot (D) governor shut the bars down last week, county by county. The 3 benchmarks for getting off the list are:

*percentage of tests that are positive

*positive tests per capita

*tests per capita (higher is better with this one.)

Thanks to that last one, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. If no one feels sick and feels the need to get tested, the bars stay closed. If people get tested, inevitably there will be positives and the bars stay closed.

Wow that sucks, basically forces people to get tested if they want to move forward at all.
