The "contact tracers" need you bank account information and your cell phone data to track your past movements. The media is going to push these unrealistic amount of tests and "contact tracers" because they know they will never be met and can push blame. Interesting how we never heard much about "contact tracers" til recently.

Tennessee starting to reopen. Sorry didn't read thread to see if it's been mentioned already.

Thank for proving my point. The article is a lot more than ABCs dedicated headline. Let me try a new one: Coronavirus biggest threat to American democracy since Great Depression or WWII #fearporn Sorry I've been misquoting. Bill Maher calls it #panicporn.

Oh wait never mind the article was new news today: Hope people arent reading just headlines and thinking it's old news.

Ok I'll go look for that link you said was posted here some time on saturday.

Cant you point me to the discussion (Or the link here before). I'd like to catch up and read it. I must have missed that number discussed here before.

That article is from today and has not been linked here before.

Let's hire everyone to trace everyone with a $5.9 trillion budget!

20 million coronavirus tests per day needed to fully open economy Starting to wonder if the agenda is to push unrealistic amount of testing to show how much coronavirus is "spreading" and increase death counts to spread more #fearporn and help the "experts" and "thought leaders" to save face? For comparison the USA is averaging about 120,000 tests per day for the past week or so. At some point it really is about fear not facts. Reminds me of the "We need a gazillion ventilators now!".... "OK. Here you go." "Oh guess we only needed a fraction of that amount." "Testing" is the new "Ventilators".

Georgia now starting to reopen all businesses. Edit: virtually all?

Any one know year to date total deaths this year vs last year?

How you know they wont sneeze when carrying them curbside or delivery?

Come Read All About it. Come get your daily #fearporn: Our view: When will Greater Grand Forks get serious about the coronavirus pandemic?

Warning: This is not an Onion article. Experts say it may be time for grocery stores to ban customers from coming inside.

Put medical staff back to work....heighten the curve!

I keep seeing article after article about medical staff furloughs all over the country.

I'm wondering if this is starting to apply... Contrary to popular opinion, Big companies (walmart, facebook, apple, google etc) love regulations and red tape. They are usually the only ones with the capital and resources available to overcome them thus limiting competition. Big banks (et al) are like keep this shutdown going! A rising tide lifts all boats. The big boats are already out at sea when the tide starts to lower.

Supposedly we ripped the first half the bandaid off slow. Now some are ready for the bandaid to come off quickly. If you ask me that's the good compromise. We've pretty much proven we have enough "hospital capacity" now.

California has about an 11% test positivity rate.

So you're saying North Dakotas first test was how many days behind the national average?

South Carolina to reopen beaches and retail stores this week.

That would be the same nationwide and already built into the data. Which wouldn't explain ND 4% vs suppose nationwide average of 20%.

To date, North Dakota has issued 13,630 tests. 585 have come back positive. 4% test positive rate.

How many different tests are out there? Does ND have a lot of false negatives or others false positives? ND has usually had a 2% to 3% test-positive rate (Edit: I looked it up. True number is 4%). https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/610132/
