Also, if you live with someone who tested positive, it may be beneficial to get tested, hope you're positive, and shorten the quarantine time from 2 weeks beyond the end of your family member's quarantine to just 10 days from the positive test day. If "pretty often" mean rarely...if ever then I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard from one saying he's tested weekly, but maybe he's full of it or going to the free public testings. State prisons are testing every 1-2 weeks and I thought LTC facilities in ND were weekly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm curious about is we know that positive tests as a metric do not equal cases. By what factor are positive tests higher than actually cases? Is each case getting tested 2-3x while they are still positive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Healthcare workers/providers rarely get tested even with exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ND Dept of Health doesn't push positives to get retested, just to isolate for 10 days. A positive case only shows up in the data once though, regardless of the number of times tested. The number reported is based on the individual person, not the number of times a positive test comes back for that person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't guarantee against errors, but in ND the number of daily positives reported is not supposed to include repeat positives from active cases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNDlaw80 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 1 hour ago, Shawn-O said: The polling organizations are having a hard-time getting their hands around a statistically relevant "likely voter" sample set. And Wall Street knows it. That was the scenario 4 years ago more so than today. Voter turnout was the lowest in decades and polls indicated a large contingent of ‘undecideds’ up to the end, of which most pundits mistakenly assumed would vote blue. The landscape is flipped upside down this year. So far early voting turnout is breaking records, and few undecideds exit. By and large, aggregated polling is relatively accurate.

This would be impossible to do at this point, but what would a logical person take as an approach given the above data set? What REALLY bothers me is the bar chart on the NDDoH site showing the Deaths data I gave: They stop the bar chart Y-axis at 80 deaths and just write the "234" number on the 80+ bar. It completely blows the scale of reality. The 80+ bar should be nearly 4x as tall as the 70-79 but on that mis-scaled mess they're about the same. Grossly deceptive.

If R's lose the WH but not the Senate, I wouldn't expect a large change. If the R's lose the WH and Senate, I could foresee some signfiicant negative volatility.
