I'll race you. Except we don't have antibody tests, so I'll probably never know if I get it.
I was recently drenched in 2 liters of covid blood. I've had my hand in covid infected orifices. I've been in a room with covid infected aerosol generating procedures. I've rounded on our covid unit.
Son, you don't want this smoke. It's a miracle (and a testament to infection control procedures) I haven't caught it yet.

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.
There is a third option. The cases stay the same either way. This is not the uncertainty principle.

Just the amount of known cases might differ.

  • 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.

Q @Qat bro. Welcome back! How’s Deutschland?
Never better apart from the 2020 shit show you know. Missed a vacation and some cultural events.
As for the rona, we opened up again and now are just locking down local regions as needed.
We also pump big money out to help the economy, and now other European countries complain that they are not able to do that on an equal scale and will be hit harder in that regard.

I think 3 vaccines are in testing already in our country. Normally would take up to 10 years to get one approved, now they wanna strip that down and want something ready for the next year. We will see.

I've been fishing drinking containers out of garbage cans and picking up cigarette butts off the street and licking them for 3 months now.

Also, RIP to whoever lost 2 liters of blood.

Definitely possible, but when you're talking about a widespread infectious disease particularly one where you have people who think they should be tested but don't have access, the odds are that if you go "man, we aren't testing many people, let's double the amount of tests we're doing." That your amount of confirmed cases is likely to go up.

Oh sure, and wouldn't that be better?

Personally, I think so. I was trying to illustrate to one of the other members that the inverse is also generally true. So when a media member says "The numbers are through the roof!" and the president says "Well, if we stop testing we wont have any new cases." He is in fact correct and painting the statement as anything else, especially with this president is both irresponsible and dangerous.
