Grim milestone

Annual shut down
Fauci echoed officials who warned that the coming week will be a bad one with the number of deaths expected to increase to a “shocking” degree, but said that social distancing practices will help flatten the curve of cases.
Scoreboard watching. Everyone is on the record. Stack up the bodies time -
Inslee touting positive test % over total tests is slightly increasing and signaling that is a problem. Yet total positive tests per day are decreasing. Not smart enough to know why the positive rate stat even matters, seems like it could be illnesses with similar symptoms going down, which is likely a biproduct of social distancing and seasonality of flu. All of it means that tests per day taken are going down as well.

Loads of people test positive for various viruses/illness.
How many are in the fucking hospital? How many empty beds are there?

Throbber is on it like Eddie's dog Snots. Better let him finish, Clark. What is pissing me off is the lack of testing. In Oregon, we are at less than 5% positive on testing. The big issue is that asymptomatic Wuhan carriers aren't getting tested. I'd like to know how deep this sh*t is in the general population. If a large percentage are infected but with no symptoms, it's time to open up and old people with existing conditions can huddle at home.

In most areas around our country, hospitals are ghost towns and they are losing their ass not being able to do elective procedures. There are reports out there that hospitals are coding every illness as a COVid case to extract more federal dollars.Bob_C said:Inslee touting positive test % over total tests is slightly increasing and signaling that is a problem.

Add to that the directive from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to count any death tangentially related to COVID-19, and you have to wonder if that number actually holds. That directive reads, “COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death.” (The emphasis in bolding is theirs.)salemcoog said:
