It was just a matter of time, but we've had the first patient in our county test positive. Quarantined and recovering at home. They are saying this patient came in contact with someone on their job in a neighboring county. Lots of people in my county commute to other counties for work. I guess this person might have been at an essential job.

Less than 3,000 tests in the entire state of OK? Why so few? That’s statistically insignificant.

Over 100,000 have been tested here, all of whom had to say they have one or more symptoms to be tested. Only 11,000 positive tests from over 100,000 people tested.

Here's the crap about the testing and numbers and all that shit.
Let's assume 70% of the population has/had the virus as of 2/2/2020. Period 70% of the population has it. On 2/3/2020 you test 100 people and they all have it. Yesterday you tested 100,000 people and they all had it. Has the number of cases increased by 1000 times? NO. The 70% number on 2/2/2020 may have actually dropped to 40% by yesterday. They are only testing SICK PEOPLE and they are testing MORE sick people so the disease could be going away and the numbers will NEVER EVER show that. |

Albuquerque tested 1,000 people through a drive through and had 6 test positive. For the mathematically challenged, no... that's not 6%. |

We reached a milestone in this country today... 1 of every 1,000 people have been afflicted Nationwide.
Two years ago, 4,500,000 Americans had the flu. 1 of every 80. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html |

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. Until the antibody testing is widely preformed, we will not have a good grasp of statistical prevalence.
And screw you guys. I took statistics in pre med/under grad and revisited it in grad/ med schooL. And yes you fuggers. I passed! |

You’re correct that we need a LOT more testing to make any rational decisions or conclusions. Here’s a question: we don’t test many people for the flu, but make estimates of how many have it, which is always a huge number. That huge number of estimated flu cases is used to calculate the mortality rate. Why are we only using confirmed cases for this virus, thus skewing the mortality rate high? Why change the calculation for this specific virus except to overstate the mortality rate to scare people? |
