The key is to just stop testing, that will fix the rise in cases.

I was tested for Colonial and know a bunch that have but your right the count goes up because it is more available. I think Texas expanded too fast as the bulk of the people think its spring break everyday.

went into a few Las Vegas Casino's yesterday and ALL guests had to go through 'thermal imaging stations' prior to entering casinos.

masks were optional.

Interesting news, not confirmed yet though:

Study Suggests Coronavirus Emerged Much Earlier Than Thought. Some Are Skeptical.
Scientists not involved in the study seriously doubt the findings, which challenge the current consensus on where and when the virus originated.

In a study not yet published in a journal, scientists have reported that the new coronavirus was present in wastewater in Barcelona, Spain in March 2019, a finding that, if confirmed, would show that the pathogen had emerged much earlier than previously thought.

But independent experts who reviewed the findings said they doubted the claim. The study was flawed, they said, and other lines of evidence strongly suggest the virus emerged in China late last year.

Up until now, the earliest evidence of the virus anywhere in the world has been from December 2019 in China and it was only known to have hit mainland Spain in February 2020.

?Barcelona is a city that is frequented by Chinese people, in tourism and business, so probably this happened also elsewhere, and probably at the same time,? said the lead author, Albert Bosch, a professor in the Department of Microbiology of the University of Barcelona who has been studying viruses in wastewater for more than 40 years.
Several experts not involved in the research pointed out problems with the new study, which has not yet been subjected to the critical review by outside experts that occurs before publication in a scientific journal. They suggested that the tests might very well have produced false positives because of contamination or improper storage of the samples.

?I don?t trust the results,? said Irene Xagoraraki, an environmental engineer at Michigan State University.

Researchers at the University of Barcelona posted their findings online on June 13. Most of their report described research on wastewater treatments from early 2020. The surprising finding about March 2019 was only mentioned briefly at the end of the report.

The research gained more attention when the university issued a news release on Friday.

For months, scientists have been struggling to assemble clues about the origin of the new coronavirus. The earliest official reports came from the city of Wuhan in China in December 2019.

Well written article and quite possibly false finding. I hope this is confirmed by another research group (one way or another) because it changes the history line of this virus completely. Origin could still be in China, that's not the question here but how long this virus has been around in it's current form.

Incredible how overblown this is. Mortality rates dropping, hospitalization rates dropping. Clearly this isnt as severe of a strain as what we saw months ago. New data suggests 6x to 24x more positives than are known based on studying antibody results. Also, CDC admits they made a mistake (lmfao) and added positive antibody test results to positive covid results. Will take months to correct.

Meanwhile, I'm wearing a mask in public except restaurants and bars for 4 months, washing my hands/hand sanitizing more than I used to and leading an otherwise normal life. I do not wear masks at parties.

Last week we were in myrtle beach in a 21 bedroom house with 53 people. We partied (drank, funneled beer without washing the tube, swam and didnt socially distance. No wore no masks. One couple came home positive. Rest of us negative.

In 2 weeks I'll be in rosemary beach living it up using same safety measures.

Time for pussies and those who are older, compromised immune, etc to stay home and everyone else get back to living. I, unlike most conservatives, have no issue with mask wearing, but as mentioned only in public buildings. I don't attend parties where mask is required, not that too many of those exist.
