Doesn’t mean you treat it like open range. No masks, no distancing results in huge community spread and hospitals pushed to the brink. See Arizona. |

Arizona peaked a while ago. There is no reason to believe they can't open up now. |

Keep businesses open but require basic precautions. That’s all I’m arguing. |

Give him a week or two. Next claim will be we are back to normal. From there any reference to the virus will be in the past tense.

Does Donger read this thread other than his posts? It has been widely discussed on this Board the limitations of the PCR test and hence what a positive test actually means. Do you not read the body of discussions pointing this out or choose to ignore anything not from CNN?

Why does he have to when it has been widely discussed on this board. It seems clear you put all your faith in a limited test result and others recognize their could be more relevant and reliable metrics to focus on.

Those facts are not disputable. It has been demonstrated. Therefore, why mock cases? |

Because the other side is equally true in that a positive case can mean absolutely nothing. Without revisiting all of the discussions about the test, unless the test can determine you have the virus now and are infectious, it is highly limited.

Would you agree that the vast majority of the new cases reported each day are the result of testing? |

Some of us do not live in this thread and since it is a mega thread that information gets lost.

Your Coronavirus Test Is Positive. Maybe It Shouldn’t Be.
In three sets of testing data that include cycle thresholds, compiled by officials in Massachusetts, New York and Nevada, up to 90 percent of people testing positive carried barely any virus, a review by The Times found.. In Massachusetts, from 85 to 90 percent of people who tested positive in July with a cycle threshold of 40 would have been deemed negative if the threshold were 30 cycles, Dr. Mina said. “I would say that none of those people should be contact-traced, not one,” he said. Other experts informed of these numbers were stunned. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/29/h...s-testing.html |
