More proof that California is the most corrupt state in the Union.
The state is getting N95 masks, designed to protect against particles in the air, as well as surgical masks, which protect against fluids. California taxpayers will pay $495 million upfront for the masks. The state will pay more as other shipments arrive, with a total estimated payment of $990 million, according to a letter the Newsom administration sent to the Legislature. Newsom signed an executive order Tuesday eliminating sales and other taxes on masks, gloves, eye protection, gowns and other materials needed to protect people.
California is going to burn a Billion bucks on masks.
Masks.
pre-pandemic n-95 masks were about $1 each In qty
I remember when Gray Davis locked California into multi decade contracts with Enron at the top of the market

Kick backs baby. The dems are all about the kick backs.
"I’m a strong advocate for free speech but I firmly believe there should be laws banning anti-scientific rhetoric. This includes climate change denial, anti-vaxx, scientific racism/white supremacy, transphobic rhetoric, and, obviously, this nonsense."
USC and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (Public Health) today released preliminary results from a collaborative scientific study that suggests infections from the new coronavirus are far more widespread - and the fatality rate much lower - in L.A. County than previously thought. The results are from the first round of an ongoing study by USC researchers and Public Health officials. They will be conducting antibody testing over time on a series of representative samples of adults to determine the scope and spread of the pandemic across the county.
Based on results of the first round of testing, the research team estimates that approximately 4.1% of the county's adult population has antibody to the virus. Adjusting this estimate for statistical margin of error implies about 2.8% to 5.6% of the county's adult population has antibody to the virus- which translates to approximately 221,000 to 442,000 adults in the county who have had the infection. That estimate is 28 to 55 times higher than the 7,994 confirmed cases of COVID-19 reported to the county by the time of the study in early April. The number of COVID-related deaths in the county has now surpassed 600.
"We haven't known the true extent of COVID-19 infections in our community because we have only tested people with symptoms, and the availability of tests has been limited," said lead investigator Neeraj Sood, a USC professor of public policy at USC Price School for Public Policy and senior fellow at USC Schaeffer Center for Health Policy and Economics. "The estimates also suggest that we might have to recalibrate disease prediction models and rethink public health strategies."

But the tests were from CHINA!!!!!!!
And the Dem politicians are going to spin this into longer lockdowns because of more infections even though it walks, talks and kills like a normal flu.
Several colleagues and I in SF were under the weather with fluish symptoms in January. The coughing and chest wheezing (you could hear the wheezing when I breathed normally) were so bad I went to the doctors, convinced I had pneumonia. X-Rays were negative, I was just told it was a very bad flu bug. I'm the guy who never took a sick day once in my life and rarely get sick in general. I am pretty convinced it is already well spread around here.

I remember the ITS NOT THE FLU phase that the experts had
This sentence from a NY Times article caught my eye. Can someone smarter than I am confirm if this is correct? I thought a false positive percentage was the percentage of tests falsely positive compared to the total positives from the test. This quote seems to indicate a false positive percentage is actually based on the total tests administered.
When the proportion of people exposed is that low, the tests’ false positive rate — signaling antibodies where there are none — can limit the tests’ utility.
Even Cellex’s F.D.A.-authorized test has a false positive rate of about 5 percent. That is still a significant margin of error: In a community where 5 percent of people have had the virus, Dr. Osterholm said, there would be as many false positives as true ones.

#meetoo
#metoo. Cough. Chest rattle. No upper respiratory issues. Still had my super bowl party. Went to work every day. Actually spent three days with 4 people from China a week before I got sick.

Another worthless post from a worthless lying MSM parrot POS. Almost 7 months and counting, ya lying pedophile. Show me those Tulsi words, anytime, anyway, anywhere. Liar.

Antibody results came back positive today for me fyi

Impossible, you should be dead.
Real talk, gladdy you're ok, and thanks for the follow up info.

Time to do the right thing for your country, Gladstone.
2-3 days of a real 'am I going to cough out a lung and die here in this shower' existential crisis (shower with steam everywhere was my only salvation and I tried everything I could think of, first sick day I ever took in my life), about 10 days of chills and constant coughing, a slightly mild-yet-ever-present cough for a few weeks after that. Just under a month I felt 100% again.

And when did you feel it come on? Before January 19?
