Another 20 new cases today. Now at 118 active cases, up from 40 on July 7th.

New cases are mostly people in their 20's who are having parties.

Do religious summer camps count as parties?
Not allowed around these parts.

It turns out when you tell people that if they wear masks in public spaces it'll stop the spread, they then think they can do whatever they want otherwise.

Look how quickly cases can get out of hand. That's my retarded state in orange.

That's excellent.
I'm rapid testing 5+ positive a day with a test at 100% specificity and 100% positive predictive value. But because it's not PCR, until this change all those positives we're not considered positive. Now they will be considered probable which is great for proper counting.

Yes that's how Texas rolls. Good science.
Interesting


"Good science?" Have you sent in an unswabbed test yet?

Who exactly are you "considering" positive?

My sister's friend went to get tested. No symptoms - I guess she was bored? Went to the location and they took down her info and was told to wait for her name to be called.

She waited about an hour and thought "fuck this shit" and went home.

3 days later she got a call informing her that she tested positive. Without ever taking the actual test. Amazing.

Could be bullshit. I don't know the girl. She might be a compulsive liar.

Or maybe...

Texas and Florida had a lot of parties after lockdown. Maybe a few too many.
I asked the 20 year old subordinate this morning

Me: "How was your weekend?"
Him: Oh, pretty good I went to *out of province vacation party town in province with all of the Rona cases" this weekend.
Me: "Are you fucking kidding me? Dude, you aren't supposed to be doing that shit. That's how it gets spread around."
Him: I thought that since we have masks now it doesn't spread anymore.

Yes, this was an actual interaction that occurred.
