Over 15,000 tests and just 464 positive over the last reporting period!

9 out of 10 cases test negative among symptomatic persons getting limited resources. Just think how low it would be if everyone were tested.

Positive cases each day:

(2877-2552)/2552 = 12.7% increase
(3266-2877)/2877 = 13.5% increase - mild, not exponential
(3997-3266)/3266 = 22.4% increase - definitely worse
(4669-3997)/3997 = 16.8% increase - not exponential
(5330-4669)/4669 = 14.2% increase - 2 straight days of a lower increase
(6110-5330)/5330 = 14.6% increase - flattened yet?
(6812-6110)/6110 = 11.4% increase - diminishing increase
(7276-6812)6812 = 6.8% increase - way fewer new cases than the day before!!

Death rate in Texas for COVID-19 has gone down!

Since 25 March Daily deaths 6, 5, 4, 7, 4, 3, 17, 12, 20, 15, 22, 13

People are starting to clamor; questioning openly as to why we are doing this. Not everyone has a govt job where they don't have to show and still get paid, or an IT job where they can work remotely.

They should have starting phasing "nonessential" businesses back in a week or so ago.

Let me know where you can buy a mask. Not that I volunteer to wear one, I'm just tired of people looking at me.

I figure if I order one from Amazon today, it likely won't get here until next week when this whole debacle is over.
I'm just curious on how many people have been tested that post on here? How did you find a place and how long did it take to get your results? I'm not sure we can flatten the curve when we have no clue where the curve is

Considering the poster - there is no such thing as "We"!

I may just wear my full face motorcycle helmet. And drive my car with it on.
Get it straight dipshit. You made the mistake and I showed you the math above. Point out where you think I made a mistake.


What the fuck does that even mean? Are you speaking English?

If experts determine that a disease has an exponential growth rate where the disease doubles every 5 or 6 days, that does NOT mean they measured for only 5 or 6 days. More like they measured every day (30 data points) for a MONTH and worked backwards to figure out the period of doubling. So, if after 30 days, the disease went up by a factor of 32, that constitutes 5 doublings (2 to the 5th power). 30 divided by 5 is 6. So you have a period of 6 days, where it doubles every 6 days for a month.


You have NO IDEA whether or not it has slowed anything down yet. It will take a MINIMUM of a month to know for sure.

And TO REPEAT - your own data above demonstrates that we are growing exponentially through the end of March into April. So what are you basing your false conclusion on? Originally Posted by Revenant

Our spacing is naturally healthier.
