ou could follow parallel paths and utilize the existing test while you also build your own (potentially better) version.

This is exactly what i said.

Utilize the current testing methods while attempting to continually improve the test which we should be doing anyways even with our own.

We decided to do nothing and wait for ours.

It's a terrible decision in a crisis and a bad decision from a development/tech/business standpoint as well. Hard to understand that line of thinking coming from (presumably) smart people at the CDC.

more people have died in Wash State (55) than all of Germany (28). Wash has 1000 cases. Germany has 12000

Not a good numbers day in the US, added nearly 4k cases, more than the previous 4-5 days combined.

THe % increase I've talked about has been in the 20s the last 3 days, as I said, the best 3 days in 2+ weeks. But today is already at 63%, and I'm sure a few more cases will be added as well.

Those numbers seem pretty arbitrary without knowing how many have been tested each day, no?

Like if we tested 100 people day 1 and 10 had it Vs today we tested 1 million and 100 had it. The 10 to 100 leap isn’t really as it seems

Clearly I’m exaggerating but I’m sure you get my point, seems like there is a necessary data point missing to be able to compare

[shel311]

Yea, we've talked about that before, how it's all skewed based on the tests not being done as much as they can. So the spikes can definitely be a result of the tests finally rolling out.

Too much beer and whiskey at a social distancing party last night

Too much beer and whiskey at a social distancing party last night

That front yard drinking seems to be a daily thing nowadays.

COVID party!!!

[Cnasty]

It definitely has been an everyday thing since the quarantine.

Starts around 530, ends at 9-10ish.

Trading toilet paper for beer soon.

[Wasted Memory]

Man, this quarantine thing sounds like fun. Maybe one day.

NY tested 7,000 yesterday. Also, over the last 2 hrs this morning, they are reporting 1,200 confirmed new cases already today. So the numbers are about to sky rocket. Still not sure if it's a good thing or bad. Bad because it's more likely we 'could' get it. Good because it's not as fatal or potentially as serious as we think?

I still assume the numbers were always higher than what we thought, and we're just finally getting the test kits out more and more. No clue if that's true, but that's my assumption lol.


But if true, then it's "good" because the more we know, the better.

[Cnasty]

Yea we definitely feel the numbers have always been higher then we thought but good to possibly see more accuracy coming out on true numbers as test kits become available.

We have more deaths then other countries but less cases such as Germany which is also a numbers discrepancy.

So many different stats out there.

This is nothing new as at home tests have been around for quite a while and was wondering when a company would maximize the ability to do home testing.

Wait no more.

This will be huge if its easily accessible and advertised accordingly.
