The standard tests are diagnosing huge numbers of people who may be carrying relatively insignificant amounts of the virus.

What the hell?

I haven’t had that issue watching PBS News Hour or the local experts my local news interviews.

The New York Times behind the paywall. Do you want a link?

Allan

Once again and with felling this time.

Timeline in plain English of how Phil Murphy violated CDC guidelines.

What Exactly was the cdc guideline at the time and how did my governor disobey it with his edict?

It’s a simple request for proof, which of course you will not provide so we can discuss this item.

Allan

once again the information has already been posted and you have refused to read it. posted by me and posted by others.

the cdc guidlines on mar 23rd are posted only a few posts above this one. you refused to read it.
your governors order was posted a long time ago, you know the date on it. (mar 30 I believe)

the cdc guidelines are clearly written, the criterea for droplet based pathogen infection controls is clearly written (cdc’s guidelines took it a step further)

you refuse to read what has already been posted, repeatedly. will posting it one more time make a difference? no, it won’t, because you won’t see it then either.

your governor is a mass murderer.

Yes please.

Down to 11% today.

Allan

It’s under 10.

But thanks.

Our fatality count is way too high.

Nope please provide the exact cdc guideline and the Murphy directive ignoring the exact cdc guideline issued on a timeline please.

Proof. Not conjecture.

Allan

Are you saying the New York Times is wrong.

Highly Doubtful.

Allan

Probably more. How do you an exact count?

Death certificates?

Allan

Look at Lucy’s post above. I have it from a separate source as well.

The NYT uses different criteria obviously.

No offense to Lucy or yourself, but I will continue to use the NYT numbers.

Allan

Different criteria? :rofl:

Yeah, that’s fine.

BN, can you point me to the spikes in cases for NYC? I’m not seeing it in the above link.

Yeah positive tests/tests is the accepted criteria.

How many tests COVID tests administere yesterday and how many positives?

Let’s see approx 30,000 tests administered and 3,477 positive cases.

Yep that’s 11%.

Let’s see you math.

Allan

An uptick is not a spike.

Allan

That because only large number of stupid things you have in AussieLand is Kangaroos, in the USA we have idiots that think wearing a mask around is giving up a freedom but then turn around and say pretesting the government is bad and people doing it should be beaten by the cops. Stupid Americans spread the virus because reality TV has destroyed the minds of so many uneducated rednecks.

And let’s compare that to jersey yesterday

Approx 25,000 tests administered, 378 positives.

1.5% positive.

Allan

Let’s compare fatalities
