TCU 360: ‘We literally cannot keep up’: Spike in COVID-19 cases prompts warning
- Thread starter TopFrog
- Start date
Looking for a downward trend is the right thing to look for - problem is that it appears they update the charts as of the test date - not the result date. So the appearance of fall off has been consistent but deceiving. IOW, when they get results of a Wednesday test on Thursday, they add the case to Wednesday’s total during the Friday morning update. So don’t read too much into the appearance of a drop off just yet.
Also FWIW, I’ve heard anecdotes that the “isolation beds” don’t include where they are isolating entire suites/apartments. For example, if 4-suite makes test positive they just isolate them in-place. That’s happening with some frequency and keeping some isolation beds open.
Best course of action right now would seem to be to find more isolation beds since students seem to be doing fine and not passing it on to employees. Again—IMO employee numbers are the ones to watch (assuming they can obtain more/enough isolation beds). If students aren’t getting severe cases or passing it to faculty/staff, they can keep going.
Where will they buy groceries? Are their rights revoked to have the freedom to go where they want?
how exactly do you propose such a thing would be enforced, assuming a non compliant populace (which many will be), constitutional privacy rights and limited manpower in law enforcement that is already overtaxed? This is fantasy and has nothing to do with electing people you trust, as if that’s possible. It’s called reality.
That question is well above my pay grade. If there are other states doing it, it can be done.
Al, Nd, Sc,Va to name a few. I think a few others are going to as well.
there aren’t other states “doing it.” It’s not possible to do. Is the point.
exactly what are you talking about? Forcing people to allow their phones to be used to contact trace? That is not being done. Not in the US
Because there’s no need to

I still think we should utilize the technology because this will not be the last pandemic. We are not in control of this ball we are on. We are just passengers
I also think that all of the Covid conversation belongs on the other forum...
It's impossible to stress the importance of reading the linked piece. The CDC has just (sheepishly) admitted that this whole thing has been a great lot of panic over very little. Of the roughly 161 thousand deaths attributed to the Chinese virus, only 6% of that total were noted as being killed by COVID alone. Under 10,000. The rest of the dead had an average of 2.6 co-morbidities. There has been a lot of stat-padding going on...
The article also reveals the latest CDC guidance on dealing with a possible infection: Go home. Drink fluids. You'll feel better in a few days.
Damn! I put $2 down on "Abducted by Space Aliens" at 5000 to 1...
They way you are interpreting this information is just so mind-numbingly stupid.
100 million people in the Us have hypertension.
100 million people have diabetes or pre-diabetes.
40 percent of people over age 20 are obese and 71.6 percent are overweight.
This is a country of full of people with comorbidities.
Many of these comorbidities in the data are conditions that result from virus like sepsis, respiratory failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome or renal failure.
I think you missed my point eight...
I was saying if you don’t trust the elected officials with the power don’t elect them. The CEO’s of the tech companies are doing there jobs. They created a possible solution to slowing the rona.
