Covid-19

Lol, good, cause that will change votes in November. Dude has 13.5m followers on Tiktok, and I'm sure his TikToker friends will influence a bunch of others. It's not just California here.

Hadn’t heard of Bryce Hall before. After taking a look at some of his content, I’m not sure how many of those 13.5m followers are even old enough to vote

Can one of you please tell your President that it's not a competition and he should be worried about more things than us?

 

[GOTWA]

Do you not have Twitter or Instagram?

No, neither. I'm not totally sure what your point it, though.

Message him yourself.

 

[SpitfireV]

Ok mate.

Football related but important...we've still got a lot of false positives coming out.

Bears had nine players/staff text positive for COVID but, upon further review, nine results were false positives, the team said. Out of an abundance of caution, they postponed this morning’s practice to this afternoon at 1:30pm.

At our hospital the most accurate thing has been lung scans, both forms of testing we do has double digit error rates.

9 tesed positive and then all 9 were actually negative?

The multi-layered bullshit at play here is amazing. Just delicious.

We know it wasn't any of the receivers, they can't catch anything.

Oh it's getting better. 77 False positives now.

Source: A total of 77 tests in question from 11 teams and the one NJ lab all came back negative. All tests at the lab are being re-tested and so far all have been negative. There are a total of 5 labs nationwide that service the 32 teams.

So apparently, it is extremely easy to contaminate these tests.

So, today it appears you can get it again.

I'm wondering if they will identify separate strains, in this case.

 

[AWP]

Again, I'll state that a BSN and several doctors at a Central Florida hospital sent in tests performed on NO ONE and those returned as CV-19 positive.

I won't understate the damage the virus can do, but the overall numbers?

Absolute bullshit. The statistics? Absolute bullshit.

 

[Blizzard]

I don't even know what to say about this one. I doubt even the Onion could come up with a story this absurd:
Testing the waters: Researchers checking Lake Superior beaches for coronavirus

 

[CQB]

Another in a long line of things I'm not surprised about:

US intelligence determined Wuhan officials hid coronavirus information, fearing reprisals: report

There’s been scant information on how the inquiry led by Helen Clark is going, nowhere I would imaging.

I read that headline as "Taser."

I mean, it does kind of fit...

 

[ThunderHorse]

Not really touched on by the media, because it doesn't fit their narrative. But this was hidden away and starting to get tweeted about on COVID-19 deaths.
