So?Â* People STILL aren't dying by the thousands, here.Â* The numbers only
reflect more testing. No one here really cares about infections because
the majority of people don't even know they've had it.


Tulsa Health Department Director Bruce Dart says the new cases have been
linked to gatherings such as funerals, weddings and people going to
bars. He says because the incubation period is anywhere from two to 14
days, the virus could be spread for weeks after that by anybody exposed
during Saturdays rally.


So?? We STILL don't have thousands dying, here. People are going to be
social and that's just life in a FREE country. There's just more
testing going on, and the funny thing about that is it hasn't even been
suggested for anyone that I know to GET tested.

Consider yourself VERY lucky so far. 35 states are currently growing in
cases, up from 20 a week or so ago. Including your state.

According to you, it's not a problem until thousands are dying in your
city. The 128,000 who have already died aren't of any concern because most
of them didn't live in your city. The 500,000 who have died globally aren't
of any concern because 3/4 of them lived in different countries, and you
don't have enough care to go around.

Oklahoma does have a statistic to be proud of, though. Over the past two
days, of the people who have been tested, 100% have been positive. That's
the first time we've seen that.

Oklahoma Is Seeing 100% Positive Test Rate For COVID-19 Following Trump’s
Tulsa Rally

quote
Even though Donald Trump’s rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma quickly became a
laughingstock after only about 6,000 people showed up, it may be having an
impact on the spread of coronavirus in the state.

As MSNBC’s Chris Hayes pointed out on Monday, 100 percent of coronavirus
tests in Oklahoma came back positive over the past two days.

“Yesterday in Oklahoma, they tested 352 people for the coronavirus, and
every single test came back positive,” the MSNBC host said. “Today they
tested another 178 people, and all those tests came back positive, too.”

“If you can’t do the math in your head, that’s 100% positive rate,” he
added.

I had a hard time believing that 100% number when Chris said it. There
is only one hit googling for it, referring to the Chris Hayes report. I
suspect he was punked on this one.

Why would you believe anything an "entertainer" on MSNBC said? They
are worse than Fox. I would not have even addressed the comment if I
knew that.

That from the same camp which says there are so many false positive and
false negatives that the whole idea of testing is useless, now believes
that 100 percent 'any result' is even posible.

It defies logic.

24 hours later, I haven't seen anything further, which is interesting in
itself. I'll try to keep an eye on it. Thanks for the heads up.

How else do you explain a 100% positive rate. Does EVERYONE in
Oklahoma have Covid? If so this should be over for them in a few weeks
one way or the other.

I can't explain it, but the conclusion you jumped to is not the only
way to make statistics work for whatever agenda one might have. Maybe
the testing facility got contaminated, maybe somebody is fudging the
numbers. How can a test with a high purported false positive and false
negative propensity give any 100 percent result with a large enough
data set to be meaningful?

It's improving but this state had a shortage of test kits so testing was
only done on people who had been vetted by a health care professional.
The results were overwhelmingly negative.

Bad kits? Improper procedures? Who knows.

My sister has been tested twice and came up negative both times. This
was for clearance to have a procedure done. I assume I am not positive.
New Hampshire is doing remarkably well considering our proximity to hot
spots.

According to the radio this morning the county has stopped testing
people who are not exhibiting symptoms. Being cynical, I think they
scared themselves with the positive asymptomatic results from open testing.

yeah ... I'm not worried about it. Every year there's some new illness
out there. I'll live a happy life until such a time as my clock runs
out. That's life.
