    15% isn’t good no matter what. However I’d want to know who was tested.
    Except the positive test rate is 8.9%, not 15% - that was one particular day. 8.9% is about 2% higher than what I've been hearing elsewhere outside King County. Not Fleenor been hearing, don't twist...better than that, better than that.

    True ... but the positive rate was in the 7.5% range about a week ago off the top of my head

    The high daily test rates is relatively troubling if the controls are the same

    Not really - because a massive percentage of those who test positive don't have underlying health issues, don't smoke and aren't old. Better to watch the recovery numbers than go down the rabbit hole of the Death Pool.

    People are gonna die. That's a simple fact. People are gonna die walking down the street. April 6 has been my day to start either going worry wart or fuck off mode/give me back my liberty.

    No new deaths overnight in Oregon. Positive Test Rate = 4.8%. Once again its Oregon. Hope there isn't a sh*t load of false negatives.

    If people are doing their jobs and staying home, I’m not real concerned with cases. Only deaths. The ball don’t lie and neither do the deaths.

    It would be nice if the gubnors let the physicians do their jobs. The ball lies if the ref keeps letting air out of it so it don't bounce.

    There should be nothing traveling in and out of NYC, Jersey and even Seattle, SF, LA and NO other than goods.

    If you’re serious about stopping this effectively anyway.


    But shutting down all of the forests and rivers is a better strategy I’m sure.

    The sound a ball makes as the air is let out is sssssssssssssstttt.

    Weird - no red states/cities on your list.

    Purely coincidental, I'm sure.

    I'm with you ... and death numbers are lagging not leading indicators

    It's why I'm really interested in seeing the positive cases AND testing rate in unison

    If we're testing more is it because more tests are available, because more are showing symptoms to require testing, etc.

    Stats are nice to have. But testing every freaked out hypochondriac with a sore throat isn’t productive imo.
