Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

That's so, so terrible. Damn it.

 

So awful.

 

I saw yesterday that the kid died. Terrible for the family, but I'll bet Parson is elected today.

I voted for Galloway, but I fear the Democrats fucked her by running her this time. She would have been better served to win a term or two in the state legislature, then make a play for governor or Congress. As is, if she loses as I suspect, her political career would appear to be over.

 

Terrible news; hate to advocate for publicity but people need to hear this rather than “he’s playing in 5days”

 

The Election Day story in Ohio that didn't get a lot of notice:

With 4,229 new coronavirus cases, Ohio topples another record: Tuesday update

We hadn't surpassed 3,000 cases in a day before last week.

 

I was led to believe the disease was disappearing yesterday. Is that not the case?

 

It’s not worse. We have no idea how many people had it back then. A lot. Well I think it’s likely that the disease mutated, as well, we just didn’t have the testing capability back then to know exactly how many cases we had.

I’d wager we have far more cases at the moment too.

 

Um ....

 

Unless you’re in the “the disease was a lesser Ebola” camp in the spring, the run of death rates in the NE and IL and MI indicates a lot more cases than we knew of.

I’m guessing there are thousands of asymptomatic folks out there not getting tested because they don’t they have it. Like kids.

Justin, if we got tested this well for everything, we’d have a lot more cases of everything.

 

Alma, only if tests spread the virus.

 

There is a lot more testing. Here in Massachusetts over 100,000 people got tested on Tuesday. But the positive rate on tests, which once was around 1 percent has been as high as 6 percent in the last week. This means the virus is spreading, not that testing is the reason the case load is increasing. If you increase testing of the general population, the positive rate should go down, because most people still don't have the damn thing.
