5,226 new cases in Florida today.

Don't let that number fool you. We're not seeing fewer cases. The percentage of positive tests is about the same as the last 3 days (when we reported 8,500-9,600 per day), we just didn't report as many test results today.

Come on, bro. You gave us that excuse yesterday too.

I just listened in on the UT SW Covid 19 call for today. While our numbers our rising it seems that our death rate is staying the same, so while more people are getting it right now, the death rate does not seem to be rising. So that's nice. It also seems to be infecting children more, there have been 50 children admitted to the children's hospital just this morning. Our numbers are going way up, but its not completely surprising considering we are now a months from Memorial Day. There were some other things said, but that's the gist of what I listened too.

That info about kids is interesting as it generally contradicts most of the info out there about kids and covid.

Yea, it is interesting and concerning. I'm not sure about where y'all are but around here about a month or so ago they started to talk about how Covid 19 seemed to effect children in the same way Kawasaki's does, I'm not sure what motorcycles do to kids, but it sounded serious.

Turns out that story went away because it was mostly fear mongering. They were suggesting it was Kawasaki disease, turns out its gross inflammation which although bad, is a thing they can deal with. My wife works in childcare so was very concerned and interested to know what the deal was. I don't know about every kid in the world but in the cases here in Canada, with our 3rd class healthcare, they were able to treat so imagine you folks are aiight.

The concern is the hospitals filling up, up until the past few weeks the main childrens hospital didn't have many kids in it, now its over 200. The childrens hospital also started to take adults last week.....because those resources are running out in Dallas.

I just read an article that publicly funded Chinese death flu tests are taking 8-9 days to get the results. Private labs are taking a few days at the most.

OK boss

I am sure all the numbers are completely legit

My bad

Should I delete the post?
I have access to a ticker that shows our North Texas stats because of my wife's position.

I think so, seems like maybe it's spreading #fakenews.

It is just a tweet brother

Was kidding when I posted it and kidding about taking it down

Elon is a businessman and Cali is full of shit...so his position and content is part frustration and part troll of authoritarian Govts.

Cases may be on the rise in spots, I don't doubt that one bit...Only thing I am 100% sure of, is that the new rise in cases has nothing to do with protests

I don't think we can stay shut down forever...that is the thing I agree with Elon about

Have a great day and keep on keeping on

Our hospitalization rate is climbing and our mortality rate has stayed the same. Incorrect tweet is incorrect?
Elon Musk has been exposed as a Covidiot.

He illegally Reopened, and his factory workers tested positive soon after.
