As the resident D614G guy I am pleased to announce my theories are BACK BABY.
This was an actual cell culture test, not trying to infer infectiousness from sampling data like the last paper I posted. This demonstrates that the 614G variant is in fact more efficient at infecting cells.
Yeah he can fuck right off with that. My good friend is an ICU nurse in Sun City and heâs on the verge of breakdown. He said work is insane, depressing and extremely draining.
Thatâs terrible. I will be hoping for the best for him. We have two straight days of off the charts records here in OK right now also and my wife who is an ICU nurse is not feeling too good about what is happening. She got her first Covid test this week and was negative but working around that all the time is very mentally hard Iâm sure.
So like if less people have Covid symptoms, less people go get tested. And if more people do, more people get tested.
Zero people are being tested involuntarily and basically anyone who has wanted a test could get one for at least the last 45 days. This dumbshit trolling where you try and convince us that the uptick is just testing capacity isnât based on reality.
Reading reports from Indian Country is jarring. Not only are their COVID rates several times worse than the urban counties, medical facilities are grossly understaffed and lacking in proper PPE. They also are getting far fewer tests, so the numbers there are likely far worse.

Also,
A woman who was showing no symptoms tested positive for COVID-19 at a free testing blitz site on May 16
Iâve found several other articles about âfree testing blitzesâ in AZ. None before May 16, and most within the last two weeks.
Even if people âcouldâ get tested in theory, very few would shell out hundreds of dollars to get a test when they arenât sick. These very recent free testing blitzes (now that supply is way up) are obviously leading to a massive increase in asymptomatic tests.
Thatâs weird, I get the impression Iâm the only white person who prefers corn to flour tortillas
Do you know what involuntarily means? Im not sure why I bother with this shit and am going to probably switch to ignore. You will be my first ever, in 25 years of interneting
Congrats.
Corn has a wider range.
Great Corn > Great Flour > Average Flour > Average Corn
Prisoners?
Bar I used to frequent that reopened when the bars here reopened just shut down again after six cases of the rona. Just seems like a matter of time before we all get it here.
From what i can tell those stats get put in separate categories?
- The Arizona Department of Corrections said 249 inmates had tested positive for COVID-19. 2,042 inmates have been tested out of a population of 40,689.
That is it. You found it. More cases mean nothing if you have more testing.
I agree that this is true, but itâs also inarguable that youâll always get more hits if you ramp up testing, especially if there are a lot of people who wonât be showing symptoms or only have mild symptoms.
It does appear that COVID-inpatient admits and ventilator usage are up across the board as well. To be expected as the state opens up, people go back to work, etc. Hopefully hospital capacity isnât reached.
I also think more people will want to get tested (even if theyâre not exhibiting significant symptoms) as they consider going back to work. Especially as they see positive numbers shooting up.
People arenât going to get tested unless they have a reason
More tests = more cases of corona virus
So end testing. Problem solved. Imma genuis
