Florida apparently not gonna use Quest labs after this

Florida coronavirus: Highest case count since Aug. 7 following ‘unacceptable’ data dump

Florida reported the highest daily coronavirus case count since early August on Tuesday, which the state says can be attributed to an ‘unacceptable’ data dump by Quest Diagnostics.

@Splinty isn't Quest the largest private lab for COVID-19 testing?

Dunno. They are huge though. Top 3 for sure.

His press conference is a master stroke in manipulating stat meaning.... while damning stat meaning.

He's a DNB. He's trying to deflect from his fuck-up in re-opening the state too early back in May

There's not a lot of commonality between the names on the list and the ones you can find and undermined by other people who's podcasts have been released. Man, people love them some conspiracies.

it is called business actually, no conspiracy about it...some names are bad business right now

Rape accusations and convictions seem to be a good way to not make the catalog

How does that even happen?

If that were the case the list of unincluded shows would be much, much longer.

I don't even know. But I agree with the governor on one point - you have places like Broward County that are waiting until we hit certain thresholds before reopening, and this shit just fucks everything without actually being representative of the current state of affairs.

“In recent weeks, soaring demand for COVID-19 testing is outpacing our testing capacity, slowing testing times,” a Quest spokesperson said at the time. “Quest is doing everything it can to scale up testing capacity deliver test results more quickly.”

We have to lock down because we don't have testing.

We should only lock down the sick which requires testing.

We should have better data but there is backlog testing.

Our tests aren't even accurate, we need to better testing.




Ya'll have no idea how much I'm not looking forward to this flu season with this failure to run a damn manhattan project on mass rapid testing 6 months ago.

If it's any consolation other countries think anything other than a nose swab isn't even worth considering.

Ya, those are great episodes

Hope he still comes on because they have hilarious chemistry

I agree
The list doesn't follow clear exclusion guidelines

I was merely pointing out that censorship isn't a conspiracy...it is common practice

Time will tell if he has rules to follow according to his new deal...or if he is truly "free" to have on whatever guests he wants, and discuss any topic he wants

Sounds like Texas is planning to move forward with re-opening to some degree. I am pretty interested to see what the plan is.

This will be a great litmus test for selfishness.

Haven't even looked, it wasn't all that great the last time I checked a week or so ago.
It seems to be getting talked about less though.
We opened up a new bank account this week and while my wife and I were in there making small talk with the teller she said "She had a good feel for us, and we could take our masks off if we wanted"
I just looked at my wife, then the teller and told her my wife is a scientist so I'm just going to do what she does......she kept her mask on.

This is just for one hospital system

Not sure what that exactly means?

I find it crazy that I’d visit my niece in the NICU and was never asked to wear a mask. Nobody in the hospital was wearing them. Babies clinging to life every 5ft. But people are considered selfish for not protecting the 70 year old with diabetes that decided to go to the grocery store for the 3rd time in a week.

Your Coronavirus Test Is Positive. Maybe It Shouldn’t Be. (Published 2020)

The usual diagnostic tests may simply be too sensitive and too slow to contain the spread of the virus.

Invoking survival of the fittest is a statement that assumes your characteristics are desirable and others that might die are less fit... Less worthy of protection.

It's one thing to discuss the pros and cons of various interventions. It's a whole other thing to use the same line that was coupled with social Darwinism and supports eugenics.

who owns your fact check websites?
Have you looked into that?

"The C.D.C.’s own calculations suggest that it is extremely difficult to detect any live virus in a sample above a threshold of 33 cycles."


"In Massachusetts, from 85 to 90 percent of people who tested positive in July with a cycle threshold of 40 would have been deemed negative if the threshold were 30 cycles, Dr. Mina said. “I would say that none of those people should be contact-traced, not one,” he said."
