Ugh! Texas Covid-19 cases increase by 4,098 in the last 24 hours! That’s the highest one day total. The next highest total was last week, 2,504!

Not good.

I really really really hate to say it, but I think we are headed towards another shutdown. Grrrrrrrrr.

Another shutdown won’t happen.

According to the present administration, all we need to do is quit testing.

Quit testing......no more virus.

Simple!!

They have literally never said that. Not even hinted at it. And if you truly believe that is what they said, you need serious help

I don’t understand this. Are people really that sensitive to a post on an off-topic basketball message board? Maybe don’t read my posts. I wasn’t disrespectful when I questioned the story. And all I said was that I would wait on further evidence. No need to come slam me. Anyone who wants positive news surely isn’t looking for it on a basketball message board, right? I’m sure if you google “positive stories about Covid-19” you’d find plenty of things to keep you happy.

It’s because you are being a hypocrite. You believe doctors when they say something you agree with and you agree politicians when they say something you agree woth. But then you turn around and refute others for believing doctors or politicians that don’t hold your views
 
There isn't much good news these days......

Brazil ignored the warnings. Now, while other countries fret over a second coronavirus wave, it can’t get past its first.

Brazil is on a trajectory to register more than 4,000 deaths per day and overtake the United States in both infections and deaths by the end of July, according to researchers at the University of Washington.

Lawyers sue to stop Trump's Tulsa campaign rally over coronavirus fears

Scientists increase America's COVID-19 death toll forecast by 18% and expect 200,000 fatalities by October - as cases nearly double in Alabama and South Carolina and Miami pauses its reopening due to increase in infections

One model cited by the White House now predicts 200,000 US deaths from coronavirus by October 1 -- an increase of 30,000 deaths since last week's projection by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.

"If we stop testing right now, we'd have very few cases, actually," the president said during a roundtable event for seniors.

BC, have I ever banned anyone who didn’t deserve it a hundred of times over? I hung in there with dozens of fans from other schools over the years when some of the OU faithful wanted them gone.

If I wanted to ban Steve he would be gone by now. You should know that by now. :)

I’ve never requested anyone be banned, it’s too easy to mute someone. I’m going to drop it bc of all that you do for the board & I’ve previously expressed my opinion on the matter. Also it seems as if everybody would just like to let the matter dissolve & I respect that.

Again, if you think that is what he meant you need help. This is very dishonest. Anyone with a brain knows what he was saying.

I’m just quoting what he said. Don’t see how that’s dishonest. I have a brain, which is why it’s hard to give him the benefit on “what he meant”.

Cases reported are a function of testing. If there are no tests how is there documentation. It does not mean no testing means people will not have the virus. It means documentation comes from testing. Testing sheds light on who has the virus while no testing dims the light, but it does not mean it is "erased from existence" if there are no tests.

Trolling or sheer denseness are the only explanations for not understanding the obvious.

He is simply saying if there are no tests then how do you know? You would not. You know from testing.

I understand that. I don’t understand why you would justify cases going up to seniors with that quote.

This is me talking to my students after I’ve ill prepared them on a chapter & they performed poorly: “if I didn’t grade your tests, then none of you would’ve failed actually.”

Was he articulating a general point which includes all or was it to explain how only seniors are affected? I looked at your quote and did not address anything said before or after the quote you honed in on.

If your room full of students do not know their blood type and you did not test them then they have no blood. You can look at things as they are or you can just ignore the obvious so as to make an individual or individuals look bad. It accomplishes nothing of value but to explain why as a society we are troubled people.
