virus prediction

Coreseller - so sorry to hear about your friend. 52 is way too young. Not surprised about the COD.

Omaha has recently been added to the govt list of hot spots for new cases. But it was discovered the numbers were being fudged. If you test positive, you undergo many more repeat tests until you get 2 negatives consecutively to be considered cured. However, until you get the 2 negatives, each positive test is registered as a "new" case. That's very creative but not very accurate.

Why is it you never hear of cases being under-counted, but always over-counted? If you can't trust the numbers, how can you believe the data?

Thanks Husker. He was far from a close friend but you're right, 52 is way too young.

Strangely enough I did talk to a close friend yesterday who's a 30 year veteran of our city's fire department. All personnel of that fire department were tested for Covid in March / April, just under 1000 people. There was not one positive test result, all came back negative. I honestly don't know what to think of that lol.

I'm certainly not a Covid denier, it's just that I'm very skeptical of the stats and the way they are being manipulated and reported.
