Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

I think it depends on where you live. Here? This is the first wave for us.

Speaking of ... the neighborhood Catholic Church is hosting a drive-through C19 testing clinic today. It's being run by my doctor's office. At 7 am, there were more than 20 cars lined up for an 8 am start per my wife who saw it on a morning run. I drove past a little before 9 and the line stretched from the testing site on the west side of the sanctuary, through the big parking lot on the south side, out onto the street to the east, up 100 yards to the north to a four-way stop and then back to the west another 100 yards to completely encircle the church. I'm guessing at least 100 vehicles.

 

And that's why you'll never get 14 or whatever consecutive days of declining cases.

Test 330 million people on Monday, then again on Tuesday, then again on Wednesday, and so on for two weeks.

THEN you might get an accurate measure of what cases are doing.

But if you test 30,000 on Monday, 50,000 on Tuesday, 70,000 on Wednesday . . . no, that won't tell you anything. And it's likely to mislead the hell out of you.

 

First wave never stopped. Second wave in October or so, much like 1918.

 

Went and got the COVID antibody test done yesterday. Came back positive. I know the timeline doesn't jibe quite right, but that I was convinced that illness I had in December and January that left me hardly able to breathe for a good week and unable to fully talk for nearly a month was something.

 

That's my prediction as well; we're still in the first wave.
What dafuq does it matter tho? Our fixation on nebulous scoreboard stats and journey terminology is ridiculous.

 

Add in the valleys in the stats for every weekend.

 

We're the shithole country.
