Georgia Governor Kemp Is Catching Hell for Re-opening

They're still talking about reinfection. If that's the case, we are pretty screwed. Might just as well let natural selection run its course. I haven't looked at the evidence for that, but I was digging into the evidence for asymptomatic transmission.

The headlines say "studies" suggest, but they don't say the claim is based on case studies, which are barely more than anecdotal evidence. The one study (of which there were only two done according to the article) I read was pretty weak. The suspected carrier for a family cluster actually tested negative until everyone else started showing symptoms. They tested her again and she tested positive, but never developed symptoms. She was reportedly the only tie to the Wuhan area for that cluster.

Considering the source of the study, I'm skeptical. I'd like to see a better study done, and more clear numbers and explanations of how the transmission is supposed to occur.
I'll be in my basement ... please let me know.

They are now saying reinfection is highly unlikely, at least soon after infection.

Not liberal, but believable. I hope it's true, that would be fantastic, and a step towards a vaccine.

Turns out the testing is at fault...false positives and false negatives.

We won’t have an accurate read on the data for quite a while.

Ideas about this virus change daily.

It is what it is.

Wait, so your liberal narrative is changing.....
Again!

Testing testing testing...
Tracing tracing tracing...

Oh wait...
That doesn't work...

ORANGE MAN BAD!!!!

Someone I know went to a care center with strep throat this week. They didnt test her but told her to quarantine for 14 days and had her sign a document that she had the coronavirus even though she wasnt tested. She called the local health dept and they made the medical facility bring her back in and swab her cheek. The test turned up negative for the virus after all that and she returned to work. She didnt have a fever, only sore throat.

So what's the deal? Skewed numbers and lying medical providers reporting "confirmed" virus cases without testing.

This is a butchered mess.

I wonder if it's too late to ever get a handle on the reality of the situation. Too bad we don't have standards for reporting public health information.
