I was just saying that some people (mainly trump) like to act like the 40 million test equals 40 million people when in actuality some people have been tested numerous times.

You see that news that they no longer sending hospital data to CDC but now to HHS.
 Looks like someone might be busting out their sharpies soon on the data.

Remember if we did half as many testing then there would be even less cases and if half of that even less.  If we did no testing then it would be gone.  -stable genius

This is actually something to worry about imo.

Trust isnt super high with Trump, and its a "odd look" to change things for no apparent reason. Supposedly lied over 20,000 times publically since he became President (someone actually keeps track of lies/untruths told to the public).

Did they ever give a reason for it? because it does come off as something you could question, if their just doing so to be able to manipuate data.



This was funny at the time.
If their solution to corona virus is to just make up numbers, thats alot less funny.
Best would be if they tried harder to stop spread.


Theres increaseing data that shows immunity only lasts ~3-4 months, and you "can" infact actually get reinfected with corona virus.
Herd immunity doesnt look like its gonna work, it could be a endless cycle with reinfections.

Banking hard on the vaccine, shouldn't be your "only hope", but instead a last resort kinda deal.

Well reason for reinfection might because virus is mutating.  I believe there are a few strains already.  I know the one that mutated in Europe is what caused explosion in places like NY.  We all know they mutate but even with mutation you would hope the bodies second encounter would go better then the first.  Only time will tell. 

I'm doing my part by wearing mask (mandatory in TX with counties over threshold which I'm definitely in one) and mainly just staying home or outside.  I didn't wear mask at first but hardly went anywhere besides gas station.  Have been wearing one for past month or so since order came in from Gov Abbott.  

What screwed us here in TX is opening of bars.   Bars are pretty much the main cause of spike because everyone crowds in and no one wears masks.  Alcohol makes people care less also. Maybe bars should all go out of business for a year or two.  I don't care myself except for pool halls (which are pretty much bars but have tons of pool tables).   Playing pool is about only thing I miss from bar scene and I can live without that.   Restaurants probably contributed too but not as much as bars.
