UNDlaw80 Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 Nice. Looks like we're headed for a historic turnout. With a week to go 66 million early ballots have already been cast, which is roughly 48% of the total votes counted in the 2016 election.

My first test, I was pre-registered. Sat down for like 30 seconds. Was in the building for like 5 minutes. Doesn't look like many people on that pic, but a steady stream of people outside coming in and leaving.

For example: Today, the positivity rate was 14.8% for all tests and 19.8% for those testing for the first time. 7 day rolling average for those numbers are 11.2% and 20.1%. 14 day rolling average is 10.9% and not calcualted for first time testers.

The swab has left a funny feeling with a little piercing effect that is still linguring. Pretty nice green seats. I haven't been in here since they put these in, overall really nice. Had a little cold and cough, no fever over the weekend. Felt fine other than a little cold on Monday so decided it would be smart to not go into work on Monday even though we all have separate offices. Found out on Monday my sales manager tested positive and since I was in close contact with him the previous Monday I decided to go get tested. Went to the Saliva testing center in Moorhead. Pretty easy process. They give you a kit, then you need to complete info on your smart phone. Little container with a funnel on top. You spit into until you fill it up to the line. Remove funnel and twist another top onto the container tube until the seal breaks and the blue liquid mixes with your sample. Shake it up for 5-6 seconds and drop it in the bin on your way out. One tip which I had in my mind but instinctively did anyway....while you are completing info on your phone which takes a few minutes try and remember not to swallow. Got email today saying I should know results within 24-72 hours. 1

Next, his statement has a bit of a hedge at the end I'd say.

From what I understand, voter info (who voted) is of public record down there. How they voted will not be tallied until election day. Obviously, predictions can be made predicated on demographic voting patterns and polls of people who already voted. That said, I'm inclined to think Trump holds on to Georgia. Nonetheless the fact that Georgia (and Texas for that matter) is in play for the Democrats is pretty crazy.

It has changed the way people view how much they can control your personal behavior. You're not sick, but you test positive for this virus or another one next year. You have to shut down your life and the lives of everyone around you for 10-24 days. That isn't a sustainable way to live.
