    stumbled upon this from that moRon Desantis tweet



    these people are just evil and blinded by greed...u go get your old ass out there and take 1 for the economy then

    these fools bringing up Normandy and Seals while they sit in their mansions getting daily tests and access to the best healthcare

    these people are willing to sacrifice others to keep their bank accounts fat

    Are they sending their kids to school?

    today i will perhaps take same said shot and NOT be taking kids to bus stop..not fighting traffic in a silly commute ( good thing)... we are not re open op...its august mind you...

    botttoms up maybe and lets see if my wife is down with me not showering day 3.. and today ..right now 850 cst is day 2 of me and wife being teacher in the dining room/ classroom.

    there is no way my kids are going back physically no matter what abbott or trump or a phd buddy says. sorry charlie.. not sure about you but my kids are at home and Im mentally preparing myself for this until fall of 2021 where will reasses at that point. that gives us a solid 10 months or so to have this fiasco shake out.

    Buried behind the good news of Texas/Florida recent plateaus/declines of high positive tests is that they have decreased testing by almost the same percentage of the decline.

    Could just be coincidence due to backlogs etc - could also be, Ron "Apology" Desantis and Greg "Don't Wear Masks, UNLESS YOU WEAR A MASK" Abbott taking Trump's if you don't test, it's not there advice to heart.

    They really are that stupid.

    Worse than that. Here's Texas:

    https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/12/acc...cline-in-testing-skews-drop-in-new-cases.html

    In Texas, for instance, new cases have fallen by 10% to an average of 7,381 a day from 8,203 two weeks ago, based on a seven-day moving average. Testing, however, is down by 53% over the same time frame. Meanwhile, the percent of positive tests has doubled over the last two weeks to about 24%, according to Johns Hopkins University. That compares with a so-called positivity rate of less than 1% in New York state, which was once considered the epicenter of the outbreak in the U.S.

    But what if 99% of the work is determining if the test is positive/negative.

    This means that Florida teachers can shoot their ill behaved children? They best beware though since the children could be packing and more than willing to stand their ground.

    Florida is such the Conservative Utopia.

    Now do you get what it means about being the Lone Star state?
    It means you're on your own! Not joking.
    Texas isn't the Lone Star: you are.

    Belief is that people just aren’t getting tested...possible that people were scared off by long wait times.

    My guess is that a lot of the testing was people that were scared they might have it during the peak of it (I was one of them), and now people are only going if they have symptoms.

    Problem is that we’re not catching a symptomatic people if that’s happening...which means we’re likely to see more spreading later on.

    Ultimately, hospitalizations will be the first glimpse into any issues on the testing side right? For the last few weeks, they have been on a pretty steady decline. We'll know in 2 weeks if there was a fluke or something

    What's more sobering is the idiocy that American medical authorities face just to get people to do something as simple as wearing a mask during a viral pandemic.
