Bad move. All the asbestosis will mutate the covid into superAIDS
I keep envisioning scenarios where the Covid mutates into something that causes the people that die to come back as zombies.....or they rush a vaccine into production that causes them to turn into zombies. man. I am an old guy and thinking this way. I have watched way too many movies and too much television.

Go have your eyes checked. It's either 24/30,000 infected or 249/30,000 infected. Big difference between 24 and 249.
I think he understands that, but his point was that 249 out of 30,000 people is not a large number in his mind. It isn't in my mind, either. So, basically, whether it is 24.9 or 249 it is still not a huge number of people.

When I see 24/30,000 infected. vs 24/30,000 infected, it seems indifferent to me on this scale
That's because those two calculations are exactly the same.

I guarantee you that somewhere around 5,000 or 7,000 of those tested already had Covid-19 back in the spring and earlier in the summer.
According this this source 17.4% of people residing in Alabama has already had the virus or has it right now. The virus is WAY more widespread than what the positive tests indicate.

This is a good thing, but I wonder about the mail in tests. Hope they are accurate.
I question the validity of the in-person and mail-in test's accuracy. When students are administering their own nasal swabs how accurate can they possibly be?
For the record, I won't have one done to myself unless I'm fricking dying.

Sorry I have to laugh. As a CFO I’m skeptical of all projections and forecasts. Most are wildly inaccurate

Are the antibody tests accurate? If so you could easily project the total number of people that have been infected in a given area. That wouldn’t require any forecasting.

I've tested negative for COVID-19 three times.
The nasal swabs are uncomfortable but not that bad. The last time I was tested the nurse held my head back against a firm surface and swabbed both nostrils with the same swab.
Although there was never any real pain, there is no way that I would be able to self-swab.
How much would someone need to pay me to take another test like that? Just to give you an idea of the discomfort level, I would agree to it for $20.

Which would mean that the mortality rate would be much, much lower than what they are thinking and reporting right now, right?
