    Hopefully not wandering around but yeah.

    Just semantics, I’m not arguing, of “the test results received yesterday” there was a very high + rate.
  3. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    Yeah but still, of the ~2,000 tests they ran yesterday ~700 were positive. Regardless of when those tests are from that's still a high positive rate.
  4. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    This is why I'm worried about how long it's going to take to get back to normal. The testing infrastructure for whatever reason just still isn't anywhere close to where it needs to be, and as we all know the most likely path back to normalcy is testing/contact tracing.
  5. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    Jeez, still getting a lot of positives on not that many tests. That's 36% positive rate.

    Large tree down on a house in my neighborhood in Takoma Park, house isn’t too badly damaged but it’s not even that windy yet...

    Winds kicking up quickly

    Yep, and if history is any guide all levels of government will move too slow and this will take longer than it should to come back online.

    Across most of our CWA?

    I don’t think this is true. It takes time for travelers to deliver the virus, and then it takes time for those sparks to turn into fires. Some of the sparks die out.
  11. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    Additionally, they only ran ~2,500 tests yesterday with around 20% positive which is pretty high.

    I hope you’re right! It’s been a while since we instituted the social distancing so hopefully the numbers are indeed peaking.
  13. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    I’ll say this @showmethesnow, I think again you’re sort of overthinking it. Its pretty simple to me, once the number of new cases and then hospitalizations/deaths are steadily dropping that’s when we can say we’re on the downswing.
  14. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    Without any baseline the testing still shows an incredible amount of sick people. And I know Maryland cleared out it’s big backlog of testing so these aren’t people who got tested very long ago anymore. The testing data absolutely is indicative of the virus being very widespread.
  15. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    I think this is a very optimistic analysis of the situation. We’re still adding 30,000+ cases a day nationally, and just in MD/DC/VA we’re adding over 1,000 cases per day with limited testing criteria. That’s a lot of sick people and an indication that virus is extremely widespread. IMO we have a long ways to go.
  16. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    We might be near the peak in terms of deaths per day, but the problem is Italy is about 2 weeks off its peak deaths and is still recording like 60-70% of its peak deaths each day. Coming down the backside of this peak won’t be quick.

    I apologize for throwing the Fox News at you. I understand where you’re coming from. I’m going to stop the politics now because I was told it’s not allowed in this thread. No hard feelings.
  18. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    Ok well for the sake of this thread I’ll take it offline. But if @showmethesnow or @SnowGolfBro want to continue further in the politics forum I’d be happy to.
  19. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    I’m just getting tired of the framing of this debate I see from right wing media. Of course you’re free to think my ideas are a load of BS and I’d be happy to hear about why if you want to explain.
  20. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    I wasn’t sure if that was allowed or not. If the mods don’t want politics in here I’m happy to oblige, but it’s hard to separate covid from politics.
  21. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    Of course everyone wants to open it up ASAP, the question is how to do that while minimizing loss of life. Since your post doesn’t address this issue in a meaningful way it’s hard to engage with you.
  22. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    I’d really like to see zipcode data on this. If the poorer parts of PG adjacent to SE DC are a hot spot and that bleeds into SE DC that could be a public health nightmare.
  23. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    I imagine the strain on our hospital system must be becoming noticeable now. That’s a lot of people to add in one day.
  24. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    It seems like you’re overthinking it. It kind of is pretty simple. Reduce human contact to reduce spread.
  25. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    I dunno if anyone’s been keeping track but also +296 hospitalizations. Is that the highest one day addition yet?
