    Go look at my posts and find one that explicitly backs trump. And no the best way through this thing is to go through it. The faster we do the better. The article list two hospitals in the med center, do you know how many hospitals are in the med center and in the greater houston area in general? The capacity is there I assure you.

    Let's see THEY are telling us we MUST wear mask and social distance and that will stop the spread of China's Wuhan Flu. Then all we hear is skyrocketing cases. So which is it. Mask and social distancing works or doesn't work. THEY tell us we can't gather in groups or even sing in church but massive riots in the streets is OK. Now some of THEY are telling us we need to lockdown again and further destroy our businesses and lives. Now THEY are telling us it's all Trumps fault. THEY are also telling us Anthony "Fashion Magazine" Fauci is the first and last word on China Wuhan Flu, the God of Wuhan Flu. Why is even one person believing this swill?

    One giant Cluster F##k by the media and of course our lovely DEMOCRATS

    F##k mask, f##k Fauci and f##k all DEMOCRATS

    ‘How Could the CDC Make That Mistake?’
    from the Atlantic:

    The government’s disease-fighting agency is conflating viral and antibody tests, compromising a few crucial metrics that governors depend on to reopen their economies. Pennsylvania, Georgia, Texas, and other states are doing the same.

    Editor’s Note: The Atlantic is making vital coverage of the coronavirus available to all readers. Find the collection here.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is conflating the results of two different types of coronavirus tests, distorting several important metrics and providing the country with an inaccurate picture of the state of the pandemic. We’ve learned that the CDC is making, at best, a debilitating mistake: combining test results that diagnose current coronavirus infections with test results that measure whether someone has ever had the virus. The upshot is that the government’s disease-fighting agency is overstating the country’s ability to test people who are sick with COVID-19. The agency confirmed to The Atlantic on Wednesday that it is mixing the results of viral and antibody tests, even though the two tests reveal different information and are used for different reasons.

    This is not merely a technical error. States have set quantitative guidelines for reopening their economies based on these flawed data points.

    Several states—including Pennsylvania, the site of one of the country’s largest outbreaks, as well as Texas, Georgia, and Vermont—are blending the data in the same way. Virginia likewise mixed viral and antibody test results until last week, but it reversed course and the governor apologized for the practice after it was covered by the Richmond Times-Dispatch and The Atlantic. Maine similarly separated its data on Wednesday; Vermont authorities claimed they didn’t even knowthey were doing this.

    The widespread use of the practice means that it remains difficult to know exactly how much the country’s ability to test people who are actively sick with COVID-19 has improved.

    The case count of people who have had it, is in my opinion, way higher than acknowledged, which just goes to prove the point that the fatality rate is minimal.
