Stop believing the tweets of crazy people

??
I was reading an Atlantic article and at the bottom (where they recommend more articles), there was the same thing as the tweet.

https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/05/cdc-and-states-are-misreporting-covid-19-test-data-pennsylvania-georgia-texas/611935/

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is conflating the results of two different types of coronavirus tests, distorting several important metrics and providing the country with an inaccurate picture of the state of the pandemic. Weve learned that the CDC is making, at best, a debilitating mistake: combining test results that diagnose current coronavirus infections with test results that measure whether someone has ever had the virus. The upshot is that the governments disease-fighting agency is overstating the countrys ability to test people who are sick with COVID-19. The agency confirmed to The Atlantic on Wednesday that it is mixing the results of viral and antibody tests, even though the two tests reveal different information and are used for different reasons.
This is not merely a technical error. States have set quantitative guidelines for reopening their economies based on these flawed data points.
Several statesincluding Pennsylvania, the site of one of the countrys largest outbreaks, as well as Texas, Georgia, and Vermontare blending the data in the same way. Virginia likewise mixed viral and antibody test results until last week, but it reversed course and the governor apologized for the practice after it was covered by the Richmond Times-Dispatch and The Atlantic. Maine similarly separated its data on Wednesday; Vermont authorities claimed they didnt even know they were doing this.

The widespread use of the practice means that it remains difficult to know exactly how much the countrys ability to test people who are actively sick with COVID-19 has improved.

Also nice to know this bit:
A negative test result means something different for each test. If somebody tests negative on a viral test, a doctor can be relatively confident that they are not sick right now; if somebody tests negative on an antibody test, they have probably never been infected with or exposed to the coronavirus. (Or they may have been given a false resultantibody tests are notoriously less accurate on an individual level than viral tests.) The problem is that the CDC is clumping negative results from both tests together in its public reporting.

Trump went on a tirade against the country she emigrated from, he doesn't need to specifically point to her while doing so to make it inappropriate.

I don't know about you, but younger folks have coined the phrase "Hell Joseon", and little has changed despite Moon's pledge to 'fix' the economy. Pretending that it's not just because someone else makes the insult is just playing mental gymnastics.
(Now, I don't subscribe to that particular outlook, but that's because I'm basically set myself)

And the article, despite being "old", doesn't change the fact that it perpetuates what some voted to change (If you're not aware, part of the reason why the previous President was removed was because of the same ****). Instead, it's now the political appointees having 'corrupt connections' scandals instead of the President themselves.

They uploaded a new post; an estimated 8000 will arrive from the U.S. mainland and international (mainly the former), for higher education (all or most universities, public and private, in Hawaii).

One silver lining is that Hawaii Island and Maui is not participating in the "modified quarantine" plan (but interisland travel is allowed, travelers are not required to quarantine anyways, so...)

"Daily Health Checks" will be the conducted and is the responsibility of the universities participating, but all it consists of is a temperature check (which we all know can be bypassed with a Tylenol or two) and a questionnaire.
Students will be expected to report immediately to health officials if they start experiencing any symptoms associated with COVID within those 14 days upon arrival (*rolls eyes*)

Of course you must remain "skeptical" because without that "skepticism", you'd have a harder time defending these actions and would have to go mask off. So instead, you ignore the confirmed reporting and deflect as if I'm believing in some type of fairy tale rather than stating what is in fact happening. Secret federal police are violating people's rights. Do you have anything to say about that?

Actually no.

People like you are more likely to fall for BS Facebook posts and Pizzagate.
We all remember the first thought was "Racist MAGA kid instigator against Native American!" a couple months back, and you'd probably believed it, with how you immediately jump to whatever narrative fits.

legendary_zell posted...

This is exactly what's happening. Is there any fascist or conservative action you won't cape for or misdirect away from? It doesn't seem like it if you're denying what's happening here. They were sent by the federal government to stop people from....placing grafitti on federal buildings. To stop that, unmarked federal police have thrown peaceful protesters into unmarked rented vans and detained them without charge. They are literally cracking skulls and sending out the Gestapo/Stasi over alleged graffiti and people wearing black clothes.

I'm skeptical of twitter videos that are timed to magically capture the moment where "secret police" (literally outing themselves by having patches that identify them as police) throw people into unmarked vans.

But I'm not going to stop you from believing what you want to believe.

Yes, because having a secret militarized operation rumoured to be spearheaded by the government is totally what we want. Americans keep talking fascism like it's stapled to the inside of their eyelids. Well, welcome to Russia.

California has a significantly higher population than texas

Which shouldn't matter if people followed guidelines and wore masks.

Almost half of cases in California are from young people not bothering to social distance or not wearing masks, according to health experts there. You can stop pretending that Republicans are the only ones doing bad in this.

Colorado is a trash tier state. Fact.

Welp, guess we don't need to wear masks while on planes then.

...the herd immunity was the stupid part of that. not that covid was here earlier than it was initially believed.

You're unable to see the whole picture, nice to know.

The idea that COVID being in California early doesn't make much sense on its own; the only reason the idea became popular was because the State's numbers wasn't looking as bad as New York (during their peak); aka "herd immunity" from COVID being here early.

Not sure why people think time/when it happened doesn't matter when it's known that cancel culture and sjws like to dig 10+ years into a person's social media to find things to be outraged at.

Those ads were weird. Do you think people actually ate it crust first when it was first released? It always seemed unnatural and weird. That last piece when theres a little bit of sauce left on the the pizza and you get to the crust is amazing

I mean, an ad is only 30 seconds, and you're expecting them to eat it normally while being entertaining and having enough time to show off the stuffed crust feature by the end?
Or do you just expect them to start with an already (half-)eaten pizza, which is kinda gross.

Hawaii is practically solidly blue (only two or three seats out of ~50-something in the State legislature are Republican).

And yet they plan on letting 2000+ people from the mainland and international come to the University, under a "modified (soft) quarantine" in which students are basically trusted to only go between dorm and campus for 14-days.

Guess which age group is responsible for the increase in COVID on the mainland?

19 New cases in Hawaii.

I expect this number to get a lot worse when various universities here open up for the Fall. The biggest public State university has basically stated that dorm occupancy is maxed (2000), and that students who weren't lucky with the housing lotto find off-campus housing (about another ~1000).

Also going on a honor system, in that students are trusted to travel only from the dorms to campus for 14 days.

Apparently Goya makes a bunch of stuff that are not beans/bean-related.

Majority of coronavirus cases have shifted to younger age groups failing to social distance and take proper precautions. Coincidentally, the age group also least likely to be seriously affected from the virus.

The point is more than an off-field issue allegedly led directly to an on-field issue which caused a life-altering incident for Smith that could have killed him.

I'm not seeing a problem considering that he's paid to play football when told to.

Was there some stipulation/contract term that he isn't/wasn't allowed to play in that particular game? In which case, sure, you have a point (since it would be a violation).

where are these gyms causes coronavirus outbreaks then

https://www.civilbeat.org/beat/hawaiian-airlines-coronavirus-cluster-ignites-outbreak-at-oahu-gyms/

One infected airline employee, who visited a pair of Oahu gyms after the training started but before he or she learned they had contracted the virus, set off a new infection cluster at the two gyms. There are now 20 positive COVID-19 cases connected to infection outbreaks at those gyms, which state officials have not named. That makes 44 cases in total that tie back to the training.

Granted, this doesn't seem as bad as the plan to allow 2000+ college students engage in a "modified quarantine" (basically where they would be trusted to only go between campus and dorms, instead of a strict lockdown, for 14 days). Or, for non-Hawaii students who can't get a dorm (because they cut occupancy by 1000 to satisfy CDC guidelines) and have to find off campus housing.

so he benched Bibbs for Byron Marshall, and Marshall was the one who missed the block on the play against the Texans that resulted in Smith's leg getting snapped in half.

That sounds like a problem with how the sport is played itself, if players are breaking legs while on the field.

It says right there this is only if they can't be modified to operate outside, which means there's no problem with outdoor protests.

The LA Public Health Director and LA Mayor has come out saying (on July 1st) that the BLM protests did add to the COVID numbers.

California is the epicenter, said Dr. David Rubin, who watched the data come in from his post as director of PolicyLab, a research facility at the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia that feeds data into the White House Coronavirus Task Force.

Coronavirus: Bay Area begins to see more deaths as California continues to break records
11,100 new cases, 138 new deaths and the second-highest single-day increase in hospitalizations

California had one of its grimmest days yet of the coronavirus crisis Tuesday, reporting near-record numbers of new cases and deaths.
The state added 11,100 positive tests to its COVID-19 case count and 138 to its death toll from the virus, while hospitalizations climbed to new highs, according to data compiled by this news organization. Both cases and deaths would be daily records if not for inflated data on July 6 from delays over the holiday weekend. Nonetheless, the seven-day averages for each number rose to 8,792 cases per day 54% higher than two weeks ago and 95 deaths per day, a 50% increase in two weeks.
The state also saw its second-highest single-day increase in hospital patients confirmed to have the virus, adding 260 for a total of 6,745 on Monday, the most recent day for which data was available. The total rose 4% on Monday alone and has increased 33% from two weeks ago (incidentally, the day with the only larger single-day increase June 29, when there were 301 new patients and 5,077 total).
In the Bay Area, there was no doubt about the numbers to start the week: the region reported a record number of new cases Monday, then followed it by nearly matching that number Tuesday. Hospitalizations were up 7% Monday from the day before and 53% higher than two weeks ago; the 649 patients on Monday were the most of any point in the pandemic. Even deaths, which so far had not hit the region as hard as other parts of the state, have begun to rise here following their upward trend statewide that started a little over a week ago.
