Did Texas "Re-open" too Soon?

I’m not sure if that’s right. They very well may count a person with antibodies a confirmed case since it shows that they had the virus at some point.

I think that's what it is. which is misleading, because the numbers suggest a new case is possibly a danger, transmittable to me.. someone with antibodies suggests that person is healed, and will not be harmful in my presence. we can debate that the full impact of the virus is still unknown, but I would rather have transparent numbers, than bundling 2 groups into one number.

Hmmm.. so I heard this morning that Texas is counting new confirmed Corona cases as those who test positive and those who ARE DISCOVERED TO HAVE THE ANTIBODIES.. huh?

if you have the antibody, that should reduce, take away from the total, not ADD to it!

what Libtard is doing the counting? Originally Posted by Chung Tran

The number is the number based on testing. Positive antibody testing shows that the person had it and exhibited either low enough symptoms as to not an active test or was totally asymptomatic. That you fear the number means you are not understanding the number.

At this point giving that number is being transparent in determining the overall impact of the spread.

I believe that is substantially correct though mask offer wearer some protection as well.

Now, if you have tested negative it is a defense to not wearing a mask.

If you tested positive, lived, and recovered - you should have immunity via antibodies and no need to wear a mask - party on! Originally Posted by friendly fred

Besides that the test given for Covid 19 is very inaccurate. I personally have no symptoms and I am feeling. I could take the test and it could show up positive and I would be counted as a new case of Covid-19 or I could display some minor symptoms and show a negative. There is no Gold Standard to compare test samples to. They just want to keep the public in limbo until they roll out their fucking vaccine and only God knows what poisons it will contain.

Gold's Gyms now open operating at 25% capacity. I got there about 3 and had no problem getting in. Staff wore masks and gloves. There was between 30-40 people working out with a few wearing masks and a few wearing gloves, some of which were weightlifting gloves and some not. Social distancing was practiced for the most part and some machines were closed down. Locker rooms and showers shut down.

Today Gov. Abbott announced that just about all establishments not yet open would open immediately or on Friday at latest. Restrictions will apply.

I am reminded of a conversation I had with a close nurse friend back when AIDS was the hysteria and "pandemic" was beginning:

She was an operating room nurse and was telling me that AIDS was only transmitted by sexual activity. She told me they were tested weekly for AIDS and had to wear shields and additional protective wear during surgery to make sure they didn't get infected! When I asked her if they were fucking in the operating room it got quiet. Apparently the publicity wasn't consistent with reality.

Yes, water fountains were shut off which was probably the most difficult part of the workout.

Nurses tend to have sex with many people for free and that is why many end up here - why not get paid?

Just back from the gym...

About half the people were wearing gloves. Almost all the gloves were "open fingered."

Pool and steamroom open. Hottub not.

Estimate more employees than people working out.

Their laser thermometer is a joke. My temp 95 degrees. Sign says you can't work out if temp was 100.4 degrees or higher. You'd be dead first if their equipment registered that.

Not really, normal body temperature is 98.6 some people are a little lower. So 100.4 is low grade fever. 104 to 106 is convulsive and knocking on deaths door.
