Here is something I read the other day that basically says 40% of our tests were useless. Quote:

That’s the problem even if you test positive you may have cleared the infectious period 3 weeks ago

O.city you seem to know far more then I do about this so I will ask you. Is it possible we could get back to more a semblance of normalcy in living with this virus simply by changing the means we test for it?

The problem with pcr is people who aren’t showing symptoms have to quarantine because of a test when they may be not able to make infect others So yeah testing could help in that manner. But you open other issues with more less “accurate” testing as well: If you know who’s got it and you can catch it early you could smother it down ideally. So in short.....I dunno. Maybe maybe not |

Went out with my girlfriend and her two kiddos to mini golf and go-karts tonight. Outside. Beautiful weather. Had an awesome time.
First time life has felt semi-normal for more than a few minutes in months. |

I haven't really paid much attention to models of late but the new IHME model came out yesterday and they are projecting alot more deaths, 310K by December. I was surprised by that then I realized that is just averaging around 1200 deaths per day which is close to what we are at right now. That is hard to comprehend.

California continues to get better. More counties are dropping off the "monitoring list" including San Diego.

Deaths are looking like they have rolled over a bit so I don't know that I can buy into their model as of yet. FTR, the 7 day moving average of deaths has not been over 1,200 since the end of May. The 3 day hasn't been over 1,200 in almost 10 days. |
