Wait until the Aggies find out this is how you contract Covid. They all finna die.
@mikedamone going to have this Covid spread crazy fast to reach his 50% or greater milestone that he guaranteed.
So if someone takes the antibody test and tests positive, is there still a 14 day quarantine?
How do they test for Covid without an antibody test?

good thing the med center is only a portion of the overall capacity the city has. If you didn't pay close attention to the words they use, you would think those are the only hospitals in town. Nothing like misleading articles......

They just don’t like people named WhitGotta love educated assassins
Because all 3million have been tested right? Let's see if that "trend" holds through the fall and winter when things open back up. Kids start going to school etc.Fatalities going WAY down but let's continue to freak out about 5 deaths in a town of 3 million people shall we.
Not to make this political, but Trump announced yesterday he wants to abolish Obamacare. Doesn’t seem like a good time to kick people off healthcare.
to the statistically illiterate, it would seem that way, yes.
ummmm you were talking about DEATHS, not positive cases. Try to stay on topic.
Yeah, should have done it when everyone was pissing themselves over this virus and the hospitals were empty
Very small demographic to put on a hit list but whatever. Just glad my name isn't Whit
see, told ya
Dr. Marc Boom, of Houston Methodist, said those numbers don’t fully tell the capacity story.
“Just that number is being misinterpreted and, quite frankly, we’re concerned that there is a level of alarm in the community that is unwarranted right now,” Boom said.

For all those currently pissing themselves because the news agencies have seen a reduced interest for the Black Lives Matter telecast and have decided to pump fear porn again, I highly recommend this website for the full data set.
You'll notice that ventilator use is going down, hospitilization is going down/stablizing, and ICU capacity is about 30% what it was in early May.
Quick easy stat to validate. The seven day average for positive test per hospitilization April 26th was 11.9. Meaning, on the average day for the week, it took nearly 12 positive test to produce an individual who needed hospitilization. Today, the seven day rolling average is 33.0.
I'm not talking about testing...but positive tests. So is the disease getting weaker or are we just reaching the mass majority of individuals who get the disease but actually don't require hospitilization?
Regardless, those going, "THE SECOND WAVE!!" aren't rationally looking at the data...they're just seeing one number and convincing themself to go full on REE again.
Have a good one!

at least until you young people can contain yourselves from going to a bar every night of the week.
Is anyone here pissing themselves?
These sob's down here have been packing them nightly. That's the reason for the increase in positive tests here and also explains why there hasn't been a proportionate increase in fatalities. Young 'uns get it but don't die. I say let 'em get it, quarantine them, and let's move on.
I say that, I am going to Gulf Shores for a few days starting tomorrow. I will wear my mask out!
Eh, it is what it is. I should start to just vomit twitter info without thinking. Apparently, that is what they do on the "beat."
I taught him everything he knows. He messages me before he posts gif's so I can approve them.
@KarlPorkington
1/2 of his gifs make me feel like I'm reading the tea leaves.
1/2 of his gifs make me chortle out loud.
I just think it's rude to frame it as if anyone who is concerned about rising numbers is dumb and "pissing themselves"
Hmm, that's not what I said.
I said, "For all those currently pissing themselves..."
Let me try and find a tweet for you to try and explain it better.
