What's this?

I think it's inevitable if we open up to the extent that we did. Europe is

doing far better than us, but they haven't opened up nearly as much as us (yet) either. Their way is obviously producing better results, but I suspect they will start to see cases increase when they reopen pubs and restaurants.

We're also doing stupid things that make it worse. You have the mask denier morons. And then you have these morons which can't help our numbers during a pandemic

What about hospitalizations now vs 4/24 -- UVALAX121 06/24/2020 10:23PM

They’re going way up in a lot of states. And since those states are open -- 111Balz 06/24/2020 10:34PM

Every state is open. The rules don’t vary much from state to state. -- JMHoo 06/25/2020 07:10AM

Hospitalizations for what exactly? -- psychobilly 06/24/2020 11:02PM

Hospitals have been reopened for a while now. Yes it is reasonable -- 111Balz 06/25/2020 09:48AM

It’s not an either or question, it’s both ** -- 111Balz 06/25/2020 06:25AM

How much of one vs. the other though? It's a reasonable question he asks. ** -- Faz d. Hoo 06/25/2020 09:09AM

Oh I don’t think this will better anytime soon -- UVALAX121 06/24/2020 10:36PM

The recent resurgence is a problem, but in late April we were testing -- BocaHoo91 06/24/2020 10:18PM

What scares me is the infection rate in 2 wks. This spreads like wildfire. -- Blah 06/24/2020 10:23PM

Does anybody have an antibody test that is truly reliable? ** -- HiltonHeadHoo 06/24/2020 10:39PM

No. That's the problem with this virus. We just don't know. -- Blah 06/24/2020 10:45PM

Not that I’ve seen. I know Red Cross test blood donors so I’d hope -- MBHoo 06/24/2020 10:42PM

We were at that rate a month ago too ** -- 111Balz 06/24/2020 10:22PM

At what rate a month ago? ** -- BocaHoo91 06/24/2020 10:24PM

Look it up. Test per day have average between four and 500,000 for the last -- 111Balz 06/24/2020 10:25PM

Cases are up for sure, but testing is up from a month ago too. -- BocaHoo91 06/24/2020 10:28PM

Increased testing explains an uptick in positives but how does it explain -- southdenverhoo 06/24/2020 10:35PM

It doesn't. The "hence the increase in % positive" refers to the fact -- BocaHoo91 06/24/2020 10:39PM

OK. See, that's troubling to me. The Colorado graph doesn't have that -- southdenverhoo 06/24/2020 10:51PM

Sure. It means cases are going up faster than testing. Which is -- BocaHoo91 06/24/2020 10:56PM

It's only "inevitable" if we are lazy and stupid, is my point. We can -- southdenverhoo 06/24/2020 11:29PM

Test per day have been between 400,000 and 500,000 for the last month on -- 111Balz 06/24/2020 10:31PM

Just look at the trend. If you can't see tests are up over the last month -- BocaHoo91 06/24/2020 10:38PM

How many tests per day were we doing on June 24 or June 23. -- 111Balz 06/24/2020 10:42PM
