Covid count scandle?
It seems labs in the Southern United States are counting positive cases more than once and strangely omit recording any negative results. For example, investigations have found if you are tested for 15 days in a row and found to be positive each day; it has been recorded as fifteen new cases. Hmm..this might help to understand an increase in positive case. How much of an increase is anyone's guess.
And the latest scientific data shows that masks do very little in helping to control the virus.

woodenknees and his stupid conspiracy theories strike again, what an IDIOT. Masks are the only thing that will help get this virus under control right now, as it did 100 years ago with the Spanish Flu.....JERK.

Like in FLA? For example, state data showed that Orlando Health, a local hospital, had a 98% COVID-19 positivity rate. But when WOFL reached out to the hospital, hospital officials said their positivity rate is only 9.4%. State reports also claimed Orlando VA Medical Center had a positivity rate of 76% — but the hospital told WOFL its positivity rate is only 6%.

Like in Florida, look at the Hospitals reaching near capacity. Like to see you old farts go out there and expose yourselves and see what happens !

Im 60+ and never missed a beat with work or going to stores .. dont wear a mask but I do wash hands lots and keep my distance. I am exposed to different (many)customers on a daily basis. Havent missed a beat refuse to give into fear but am smart about it.

And here's another: I was in the grocery store the other day and noticed the big red "X" on the floor with the sign 'Stand here' I've seen too many Road Runner cartoons to fall for that one! :-))

You do realize that common sense and logic are no longer considered as acceptable attributes these days? :-)) You gotta be part of the "herd". Remember the story of The Pied Piper? They want you to get in line.

And that is why people think you are a jacka$$. The mask serves two functions, it protects those around you from your potential droplets, and saves all of us from looking at your face. Fear, get over yourself already

33% in Miami are testing positive. 25% in Texas. Why bother testing then? Just assume you have it, continue practicing the safety protocols we've learnt for 4 months, stay away from seniors, and just go get tested if you have XYZ symptoms. If 80% of people with Covid don't even know they have/had Covid why are we mass testing? To pump the fear?

Depends on whether it is a state that they are trying to flip or not. Can't make it too obvious but why did Texas and Florida all of a sudden become hotspots. Of course you could never blame politics for being involved in such a thing as a pandemic!! What am I thinking!

A test run and a prelude to vote counting and mail in ballots?

This is what happens when you have people reporting on $hit they don't understand. They were likely reporting their hospital occupancy rates. BTW 6% & 9% positivity rates are enormous. They better stop testing so their number get better! Trump was right about building the wall, he just had the wrong border. Macer

Yup that's what I've been saying for along time. Sure hope vestor's buddy shyhawk1 is going back to Florida again this year, he might not make it back to Canada next Spring.

Check this - with videos from within an epicenter hospital by a nurse with battlefield experience. Watching the video it is hard to say they weren't intentionally trying to kill people. Whoa. https://steadfastclash.com/the-latest/bombshell-new-york-city-nurse-exposes-elmhurst-hospital-labeling-negative-patients-as-positive-and-killing-them/

Watched the video. Politicians need to be held accountable for essentially killing people for political gain.

"And the latest scientific data shows that masks do very little in helping to control the virus." Got a source or two to cite for this statement?

There is an interesting article which suggests that covid 19 is spread mostly by droplets which are larger and heavier and can be stopped by simpler facial coverings rather than by aerosols which would require N95 to protect against. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/coronavirus-can-be-airborne-but-thats-not-how-it-typically-spreads-experts/ar-BB16BKUO?ocid=HPCDHP

Riverrrow's article stating covid 19 droplets are larger and heavier is totally false. They are smaller and that is why regular cloth face covering don't stop the spread. Macer account is much more credible.

I highly doubt we will let you into Canada vestor, you had better head South to Mexico.

One of the best posts I've ever read except for one thing. Why in hell would you move to Canada..we got a totally corrupt, fake feminist, black face, above the law, Child Prime Minister, who like Joe Biden, hides out in his house and refuses to call Parliment and gives tax dollars to his own family. At least there's not organized rioting and burning down businesses....YET.

Hey Peer, isn't this fun, we can insult the carp out of these Trump Zombies and prove them constantly wrong, without a rebuttal. Almost like they have no defense :)

Don't worry Vestor, Trump will clobber Biden in THE debate. Yep just one cuz it won't make any sense for either candidate to do two. Then all those folk who are giving Biden a chance right now will come to their senses. Also, the polls seem even more askew to me than last election.... And yeah, not to knock Canada but there might be a few better choices in the world.

This is not the right forum to air your political views of whatever stripe. No one should start a thread about politics or retaliate against someone else's political post.

Yep, shoulda PM'd that one to Vestor... :-|

I'm sorry for singling out vestor and quattro - skier and PeerReviewed should not be posting about politics either.

There is a difference, Skier and PeerReviewed are mental midgets. Skier's comments are inane and PeerReviewed has an overblown sense of his own intelligence, it's like he thinks his intelligence is TLT at $0.60 when really it is TLT at $0.225! In other words WAY lower. But you are right Eoganacht we should keep our eye on the prize.

Where are we gonna put the far-lefties at the TLT Vegas Party? We can't have them spoil the event for all the normal people. ;) Shouldn't be too bad... I hear the broom closets at the Bellagio are top notch.

Read my original post and the source is there. That is if you have effort enough to some research.

I read your original post, read the referenced source, found nothing there re masks, searched for information, found just the opposite of the claim, so I asked for a citation or two for your statement.. So, arrogant one, I ask again, do you have a citation or two to back up your statement regarding masks, or are you merely expressing your own opinion?
