Yeah I'll trust the numbers over your random post. Yeah they are idiots but the rural parts of this state are not treating this the same as the cities. As for the links the first one is opinion and from April where a lot of data has come out since. The second one I could counter with the high volume of cases as colleges and they are much bigger spreaders amongst themselves and across the country. Also how long as school even been back in person, how about we wait a bit more than a week before spiking that ball.

Yeah with all that social interaction and refusal to wear a mask, the south will continue to keep get sicker and sicker. Reluctance to treat this as something serious is going to the at their own peril.

If Wendy's is going out to eat... oof, you need to live a bit more.

Dude I icefish, so put away the measuring stick, plus you know what I meant.

Which is why there are more people getting sick in the south, which was my point... Because you all don't give a damn, so you are getting sick at a higher rate than here.

Here is someone that would fit in perfectly down south.

For example, GA/MI both very similar population yet MI has done 400k more tests and has had 150k less cases. NY/TX TX has 150k more cases in less tests by 3 million less tests.

They aren't testing at the highest rates compared to other states similar in size though, their positive rates per testing proves that. And using a graph that is collective skews the data when I am referring to recently. NY/NJ/IL/MI/CA have some of the highest numbers because of what happened back in March and April but since then the numbers are substantially higher in the south and are not going down there.

If we were testing at their levels our case numbers would be lower than theirs by a substantial margin. Imagine if the south was actually testing at the level the north is, their cases would be higher big time. Again the recent numbers are the part that matters, you are looking at this from a total aspect, for what reason I don't know.

You don't think that tourism isn't huge in this state? Yet we are testing thousands daily. It is entirely because one state believes this is real and one state that doesn't.

That's total, I'm talking recently. Everyone knows NYC was ****ed initially.

Michigan is testing a substantial amount more than most places in the south. You can literally go anywhere and get a test because up here we actually want to know who is sick instead of guessing or assuming.

And yet the south continues to lead the way in new cases and deaths, I wonder why.

Exactly and if anything we reacted too slowly initially.

Sorry to hear man, at least you two are doing well all things considered. This post should be a note for those who are still thinking it is no big deal or only impacts old people.

I'd love to know which irrational poster said that, either way that thread went away because the moderation went to zero and a bunch of people turned it into a playpen, as usual for that subforum.

Oh it matters at 18 or 19 but not 22 or 23. Face it, your long standing disdain for college educated people isn't going to be ignored. You are coming from a loaded position which is clearly clouding your judgment. And for ****s sake yes kids are asymptomatic but they bring the virus home to people who won't be asymptomatic. This isn't that hard to follow dammit.

Thank you for proving my point. Who cares if a kid graduates high school at 18 or 19.

Speaking of colleges though...

Yeah because of your opinion of college in general...

It is directly because people are way to cavalier about this still and because they haven't been directly impacted so who cares.

People dead in the streets, a threshold where we are screwed.

The kids still are getting an education just not in school, and compared to long term medical issues kids having a year off of school is far from the worst thing. I am not for a generation of heart attack and stroke victims.

He is fixated on death only, when we don't know any of the long term complications from even people who were asymptomatic let alone those who ended up with pneumonia.

This study only works if you catch it extremely early, I have no idea why Henry Ford hospitals released this data when it is highly unproven.
