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 wonder how many of those kids are being brought in by hypochondriac parents that read too much social media.

None, those numbers are for children actually staying at the hospital, not hospital visits.
SC MMA MD @SC MMA MD might have up to date info on kids and coronavirus

No kids under 9 had died for a long time. A handful have now. Still kids seem resilient in the face of this compared to the rest of us. If there are that many kids admitted all of a sudden for corona symptoms (that didn't present earlier in the year in the same numbers) that throws a real wrench in my understanding of this virus.

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.
Deaths take about a month to catch up with infection rates

The call started at noon and those were numbers up to that point this morning. I don't have details on how severe the cases were but that's what UT SW saw this morning.

I just crunched the numbers. Texas is starting to catch up with other states in testing. Your positivity rate for today is around 7.6%.

Florida is just under 17%. We've been at 17-19% the past four days.

It's not a matter of if we'll pass you, but when.

Damn, we were like 11% at the end of last week, I'm curious to see what the numbers do the rest of the week.

Nothing funnier than confusing people when they and their loved once might die! GREAT TIMES!
I have seen you do the exact thing about certain issues

Besides that, the place is loaded with trolls and even returned banned members

A decent percentage of this Thread is Memes, Jokes, Misinformation on both sides, and other bullshit

If this was a serious thread then I wouldn't post memes and troll tweets
But...I just jumped to two random pages in the 400s and it was full of name calling, memes, and troll tweets that somebody could be offended at, and that other people found funny.

Maybe make a serious discussion only thread and moderate it as such. ? I will stay the F out of that one unless I have sourced and serious content to discuss.

I have seen classless posts from nearly everybody on this forum at one time or another, you included brother...can only think of 2-3 members that have stayed "clean".

Of course Elon is full of shit...check his twitter and the graphs he posted after that tweet, he got destroyed for using a certain type of graph.

Gates is a phony
Fauci is a phony
Elon is a phony
etc...

Humor is in the eye of the beholder I guess


FYI
Baiting is very common on this forum if you haven't noticed
