@Splinty why can't Texas just release all its data at one time?

And don't give me that "two time zones" nonsense. Florida also has two time zones.

  • South Florida hospitalizations for Covid-19 are now eclipsing the peaks reached in mid-April. Miami-Dade on Wednesday had 981 people hospitalized with the virus, surpassing an April 17 peak of 787. Broward County had 391 Covid patients in hospitals, nearing its peak of 413 on April 7. Palm Beach County, with 394 people hospitalized with the virus, has far exceeded a peak of 245 cases on April 20.
  • In Broward County, more Covid-19 patients fill hospital beds each day for the last week, but overall people are sicker in Palm Beach County, where hospitalizations, intensive care and ventilator use for those in critical need have been on the increase since mid-May.
  • Palm Beach County has consistently had the highest percentage of Covid-19 patients in intensive care, accounting for about 33 percent of the county’s hospital patients. In Broward and Miami-Dade those numbers are 28 percent and 23 percent, respectively.
  • All three South Florida counties have reported consistently higher daily hospitalizations from the virus since June 12.
  • Miami-Dade has seen a sharp rise in infected patients on ventilators this week as more patients are in ICU beds.
  • Broward County hospitals have been admitting more patients with the virus than discharging them since June 4.

I heard an interesting stat today.

One of the UK labs making a vaccine that is being tested and relatively close to market.

Relatively.

Has realised that it also needs to be scaled up to such an extant that it has factored in load sizes.

They are working on a 2 litre bottle that contains 2 million doses.

thats pretty amazing if it works.

So if you test more would you expect your case number to go up or down?
well the idea is you test and test until the number goes down.

its just simple maths.

If the number is rising then you need to act.

as the number goes down in areas you can control the R rate.

its very basic stuff mate.

For the sake of conversation could you just answer the direct question?

I did answer it.

The more you test the more accurate the amount of cases you have.

Its about the volume of tests.

Its about knowledge.

I don't know what else to say?

You can test a million and get ten cases. Good.

You can test a million and get 500k cases. Bad.

What are you not getting?

Covid isn't a democrat or a Republican.

It just is.

Slowing down the tests doesn't stop it.

No, you didn't.

I asked if you'd expect cases to go up or down with increased testing. There are only 2 answers to that question.

Hmmmmm


OK. One more time.

If you test more. You get a better picture of what is going on.

If you test less you get less of a handle of who is infected.

What do you want me to say?

So much fear-mongering and willingness to give up freedom of choice in this thread. It's just a virus. Suck it up. If you catch something and die, you were weak. Simple.

We disagree, but I like the cut of your jib

We're already on the comeback trail, mate, don't you worry. New Yorkers were once laughing at you, and now look at them. We are just conserving cardio and playing the long game.

We've had like a 30 case spike and everybody is already blaming it on Muslims and other minority groups. Once this fully ramps up, race relations in the US are going to look like an episode of Sesame Street compared to here. You might be able to out-corona Australia, but you won't be able to out-racism Australia.
