11.5k cases from 65k tests. That’s a 17% positive rate. Yikes!

Heres my question though. 65k people thought they were ill enough to get tested. Do we have that many hypochondriacs or are the tests severely flawed?

If somebody is running a fever, has a cough, or has been notified that they've been around somebody who had/has COVID-19 they're probably getting tested if they have the ability to.  That's how contact tracing is supposed to work, and it's a recipe for high test numbers/low-ish positives. 

There was somebody who was ID'd as testing positive for it in one of the buildings at my job and I bet everybody who came in contact with that person going back a month went out and got a brain tickler.  That's potentially a few dozen tests being performed because of one positive case.  I wouldn't necessarily break it down to a binary proposition of hypochondriacs vs. tests being faulty.

They be like .. we're going to cancel March Madness - the NFL and MLB season - and lose all this revenue - to show the public the virus is real and that it is important. We would never take less revenue to further an agenda .. lol

Your understanding of who is getting tested needs some refinement.

That’s a good point about contact tracing. I know Florida is understaffed in that area, but I guess they have enough to partly drive these numbers.

The following was on a Florida Doctors facebook page.

Image may contain: text that says 'To my fellow Floridians... ..there's NO need to fret the number of cases of COVID-19 going up here in Florida because while more folks are being tested and obviously new positive results are being added to the overall numbers, the folks testing positive for the virus are NOT necessarily getting sick or if they are sick it's with much forms of the virus. Translation: herd immunity via exposure finally starting to kick in.'

7 day moving average  of deaths continues do go down for the last 11 weeks.

Maybe that Scholls guy is on to something, hope so.

No real correlation with deaths and positive tests at this point.  Dynamics all changed with increased testing availability.  Positive tests have been fairly flat or increasing for a long time.

Hospitals are treating more patients, but again, with much much better results.

Unless the lag time is 5 weeks between positives and deaths, it does not seem to be the same situation as March

 

And for Four Corners, its okay that people are not dying, Trump will probably still lose.

      Jaire Alexander Released

      By CarolinaLivin · Posted

      The #Panthers explored the possibility of adding Jaire Alexander, but there was never an offer made, a league source told @theobserver.   https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/1935436577649401872?s=46

      Young, been named Top Riser for 2025

      Yes I agree, the future RT could easily be christ. When he shocking re-signed here for the cheap, he said part of the reason was the OL coaching staff.  I've already thought too much about 2026. The RT has all the options, including resigning Motown. I was never a big fan, but he's solid and peptides and stem cells can fix a gippy knee. If he makes it though this year and wants to return, why not for 2 years 16 million?? Or like you said give the job to Christ or draft your RT...... that I feel is the best current method. With both OGs in the 20 million per cap range and Icky......ooooooooooo boy he could be the first 30 million per OLmen in NFL history. That's a huge portion of cap space for the OL, which I agree with, but in order to offset those 20 and 30 million deals... you need cheap rookie contracts. (unless Motown would take a huge pay cut and whoever the C will be).  This is the deepest OL I can recall in Panthers history.  I believe Morgan should try and trade either Kingston or Zavala.  I didn't even talk about Yosh, Tarquin, or Walton. Yosh is same age as christ and why not him as RT after good swing tackle years? Tarquin is a UDFA on the prayer program, 150,000 in guarantees and why not him in 2026? Walton seems to be a OL coach favorite, he followed the Tampa Bay staff here after 2 years there and add in one year here, he's stuck around for some reason. I think they need to spend very light on RT and Panthers have lots of options, I love it.
