You didn't have enough information (fair enough).....yet you jumped all over a supposed Democrat conspiracy regarding the testing and spewed it out to a message board.

Can you see the problem we have as a society when people take that approach?

 

You know, I was going to expand and clarify but why bother.   you are quite unlikable.  Seek help.

I still have been unable to get tested. Despite that I’m a frontline healthcare worker and nearly half of my coworkers are out on quarantine. 
So if someone says that tests are available- send them to me! 
Syrmax, I love your info and you seem like a smart guy but the contrarian attitude is a drag. You can say that there are not enough tests AND scrutinize the test’s reliability. These two things aren’t mutually exclusive. I agree that the Trump complaints seem reflexive at times; but this guys like a cancer, If he states A, pretty good chance B is the better alternative.

Wife was tested yesterday after feeling sick Thursday and Friday. Contacted Quest on Friday and they had her tested at 10am Saturday.

No word about extend again from NY governor today, I'm starting to get worried about going back to work on May 15th when cases is high in monroe county :(

 

Only 300 new hospitalizations from Fri-Sat, it's going down quicker than I thought. Once the real warmth gets here I believe it will go down even quicker.

So explain the 95 deaths? Their stay at home orders are nearly the same as ours. Have a friend that lives in Adelaide. Feb-April here is equivalent to August to October here. August to October here is quite warm compared to the latter.

I mean its the equivalent to early November there now. We're seeing bigger outbreaks in warm areas like Ecuador and Brazil. They had an outbreak early on and they did a really great job of containing it. I just don't see how "sun kills it" really works here. They also probably have much different travel dynamics than western Europe and the USA.

I guess the same way in which the flu season exists all year, but really only emanates itself in winter. Maybe that's due to more people inside in winter, more close contact, or the virus having a tough time surviving outside in comparison to indoors. However it may be Australia has 95 deaths in the last 3 months, while New York with a population of 19.5 million has almost 25,000.

Fair enough, but being liked has never been a priority for me.

But lighten up a little.

You post lots of good information and thoughtful analysis.  That post last night sounded like the unhinged content straight from the Hannity show.

Wondering where it came from?

What is her fever at?

100.5

she just got her results. Negative. So prob just a run of the mill flu. 
good to see that not only can they get you tested in less than 24 hours but also results in about 30 hours.

Deaths will be way down today but cases are still very high most likely due to more testing.

941,259 active cases in the U.S.
246,444 active cases in NY
NY might hit 25k deaths tomorrow
The US might hit 70k deaths tomorrow or Tuesday.
Testing hasn't been good at all lately. Need alot more testing.

Not good at all

Your posts come across quite confrontational. This causes people to be on the defense. (Ahem, the first time you came after me because you thought you knew everything about my teaching job.)

Because somebody's not a flaming liberal, they're equivalent to Hannity?

Some of you libs on here need to relax a bit...it's allllll doom and gloom. For example, Australia is doing great. Does that mean things won't get worse there? No. However, there is a difference between planning wisely...and going into a panic. Australia's winters are MUCH warmer than in the northern half of North America. But, because they're going into "winter" it means cases ARE going to rise.............................????? Is the DNC paying you guys to post these things?

George Bush said many years ago that we weren't prepared for a pandemic. Democratic and Republican presidents later, we're still not prepared. Failure on all sides. Stop trying to blame everything on one party. 

How about stop lashing out and belittling people just because they don't see something politically the way you do.
