  1. This type of information on actual numbers of companies who are temp testing before work would be very important. Not sure how they should count the "normal" temp who do not get tested, but can certainly see how this impacts on the percent positive increasing in the hot spot states. [Edit: Ah, Plenzmid? The PCR test data comes from diagnostic tests done by FDA-approved labs, not from individual companies scanning temperatures. The temperature scans are NOT being recorded as positive covid-19 tests, anywhere by anybody. That is a very confusing internal report of some company. If the client is reporting % temperature scans to the state, that does not mean the state is reporting them as positive RT-PCR tests results. If you feel they are, kindly provide a source - other than some dude with a Twitter. Now, the states WERE lumping together diagnostic RT-PCR tests and antibody test results for a while, but AFAIK that all got sorted and they stopped. -Hap]
  2. this is very interesting...he says 1000's of companies are doing this...any of yalls places of employement doing temp screens everyday? If so, see how it could have a massive impact on positive tests
  3. Florida's case numbers have been increasing at a good clip since ..wait for it, Memorial Day. Yet hospitalizations and deaths have not. https://tallahasseereports.com/2020/06/24/two-charts-show-positive-trends-for-florida-in-coronavirus-battle/ Now, 9K today, wow! Strictly my take on it...March and April only people getting tests were really sick, in higher risk groups, so naturally hopitilations and deaths were naturally going to higher. As we have gotten better at testing and contract tracing and more are available, many more asymptomatic people will be tested and those key numbers , especially deaths, just will not be the same percentage as when only really sick people were getting tested. Think Pence said nationwide April was 15% of positives hospitalized, today its less than 5%. And, I suspect in some, many hospitals that have been devasted by empty beds, a good number of those folks do not need hospitalizations. Having said that, the opposite would be Remisvider has to be administered in hospital and for 5 days i believe, so that is prolly also driving the hospital numbers
  4. Take a look at the charts posted below...not seeing that trend in Florida Obviously anecdotal...but now know 8 people who have tested positive for the virus, and none of them have passed it on to other household members. Interestingly enough, of the small number that have had the antibody test, none have come back positive for them either Why, very few requiring hospitalizations and very few at any risk of death. Funny how people are using March and April results and outcomes and not May and June. https://tallahasseereports.com/2020/06/24/two-charts-show-positive-trends-for-florida-in-coronavirus-battle/
  5. man, to think i could get paid for my lifes work! Wow, if i dont go 5 times a day I get worried!
  6. good article for parents here with young children and or want to weigh in with their school board. Essentially says no evidence of child to parent transmission in child care settings. https://www.npr.org/2020/06/24/882316641/what-parents-can-learn-from-child-care-centers-that-stayed-open-during-lockdowns
  7. can end this here..they all suck
  8. hmm... https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/paloma/the-health-202/2020/06/26/the-health-202-the-trump-administration-is-eyeing-a-new-testing-strategy-for-coronavirus-anthony-fauci-says/5ef4f629602ff1080718f308/?itid=hp_no-name_hp-breaking-news%3Apage%2Fbreaking-news-bar Did not know Newsom was a Democrat..learn something new everyday! Thank you!
  9. I know, i was trying to point out the absurdity of the WAPO. Scream 2500 deaths...then throw in the caveat Jersey added 1900 of those in one day from "probable" covid deaths...but their will be many a folk who say "my lord. the death toll for yesterday is 2500!!!!
  10. your death numbers are way off according to these numbers in the Wapo it then followed with this as New Jersey added 1,854 probable deaths. And then there is this....for those that only want to blame red states.. From same article https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/paloma/the-health-202/2020/06/26/the-health-202-the-trump-administration-is-eyeing-a-new-testing-strategy-for-coronavirus-anthony-fauci-says/5ef4f629602ff1080718f308/?itid=hp_no-name_hp-breaking-news%3Apage%2Fbreaking-news-bar and people wonder why no one trusts the media on this stuff
  11. Posted this in off the wall too, but first time I have seen spike in cases linked to protests. And to see it reported in LA Times is really something. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-22/for-third-day-in-a-week-l-a-county-reports-more-than-2-000-new-coronavirus-cases
  12. First time I have seen Covid and the protest linked. Very surprising to see it reported in the LA Times https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-22/for-third-day-in-a-week-l-a-county-reports-more-than-2-000-new-coronavirus-cases
  13. While Bonchon is very good, trust me you will like these homemade ones better. And to me, not better or worse, just different. I like smoked wings too. https://www.americastestkitchen.com/recipes/8885-korean-fried-chicken-wings
  14. "People arguing over who got the best master" Provocative from Killer Mike...worth a listen. His series on Netflix is awesome as well. BTW, listen to the people he recommends everyone should read and learn from, Sowell included. Also, he falls close in line to Trump on immigration. Very very NSFW language...and this from last year, not recent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX1ZbBgRntU
  15. ypu said the current mix with the players on the roster....there is not a lot on the roster. Add in the fact Sammy has leverage out the wazoo, the 2/3rds of the log line is UFA,,,4th line granted but they were at least effective last year..and after this mess could you blame either either Larry or Gus getting the hell out of dodge, ...they have their work cut out for them ...and i dont think you are going to see the same roster with just a few additions...i think it is going to be a good 40% -50% new players.
  16. 10 players on the roster as of now...tough to win in the NHL with 10 players
  17. Just me, or does anyone think there may be a link between between all the college football players testing positive and the protests? I have not read of any these folks attending or not attending protests, so pure speculation on my part. Just they are in the age group that participated heavily the last 4 weeks.Having said that, I have not read of any of the positives being very sick, but that certainly could be the case. The only piece that mentioned symptoms that I have read said almost all asymptomatic. My sense is if they were not athletes prolly not tested, and i think it would be useful information to know this information.
  18. people do seem to forget the first game of last year..granted against an excellent Pats D, and first game..but damn Ben sucked in that game
  19. well, dont think Gilmore and McGahee making calls extolling the virtues of Orchard Park...every team has both.
  20. I think he wins easily unfortunately, but this is funny, no matter what side ya on
  21. Trump got punked by teenage girls and KPOP fans...too freaking funny https://consequenceofsound.net/2020/06/k-pop-fans-may-have-sabotaged-trumps-under-attended-tulsa-rally/
  22. Listen, forget what i think of Trump..we prolly have the same view...but the economy is crazy strong..this country has Never experienced a full stop like we have just gone through. And we have made it through that full stop. Now a trillion dollar deficit in the face of a crazy strong economy...that is ridiculous..and that was before Covid. And please, answer the question about super spreaders and kids killing their parents with the virus. If you cannot, why should me or anyone ever take any of your opinions seriously?
  23. Flat out WRONG..prove to me this statement is correct. It is FALSE
  24. 36 today... Joining a group of 3 at 11AM..they teed off 6:30... first time i am joining this crew, they play 54 every June 20..longest day of the year. Hope the rain holds off for the most part
  25. No, you suck? BTW, been rewatching Community...rapidly rising to possibly my number 1 sitcom spot. Loved it first time around when it was on, a different level watching it 10 years later. BTW, i have no idea why people are upset with the Trump rally. Just like we need volunteers to test a Covid vaccine, these 19K are volunteering to be a test group to see if an indoor event can be successfully pulled off ..and can influence policy decisions moving forward. I would actually pay these folks , doing a great service for our country.
