What he's doing is actually making more tests a bad thing - if he's just going to use "total cases" as evidence to shame any county resident that isn't cowering in fear in their house. A truly bad dude.
It's here (COVID 19)

Went to our local Mexican place on the Friday open last week (5/01). I got there around 2 so was definitely there during a normal lull anyway. It was me and 5 other adults plus 2 kids in the restaurant. By about 3pm, it was just me at the bar and that's it. I stayed until about 4 just drinking margs by myself simply because I was enjoying drinking somewhere else besides my own home.yukmonkey said:
Any anecdotes that people have from the reopening over the last week?
However, I discovered while there that our favorite bartender who has kind of become a friend was let go while they were closed down. That was upsetting because he's a great guy and had a ton of regular customers who would give that place money almost solely to come and see him. So, they either got desperate enough that they fired everyone and are starting over with new staff (the bartender on duty was brand new), or they made a stupid business decision not to protect their best workers that bring them revenue.

He's the worst, according to the Texas health and human services website 25% of dallas counties tests have been completed in the last 7 days. Also our confirmed hospital cases for North Texas has dropped to 569, not bad for nearly 8 million people.
Blue Goose?
Total cases all time or active cases in hospitals?
Active, it's down from 675 earlier this week.

The weekend numbers drop significantly. This will probably rebound to the mid-600s Monday. It's likely a reporting issue.DFWTLR said:TexasAggie008 said:

The Texas COVID dashboard now plots this info and it dips every weekend.
Who cares now. It's over. Go back to work.
Are you saying Coronavirus is over?
Probably meant that those who can work and spend money to help business's should do so. We can't keep this up and people need to provide for their family's.
I'm saying WGAS now. The Tarrant County judge across the street doesn't anymore, if I'm judging by the Mother's Day party he had yesterday at his house. Old people and really sick people stay home. Everyone else go back to work so we can hopefully not go into a depression that takes decades to dig out of.double aught said:

This is like the fourth time you've posted about the Judge and his get-togethers in this thread alone. Doesn't sound like he ever really cared.
Yep. Aggravating that our lives are being shut down by people who don't believe the crap either. If I'm forced to stay home much longer and he has another get together then I'll probably post about it a fifth time.
You should just crash the party.
Last data I saw is a week old, but percent infected was staying steady as testing increased. So the increase in cases as testing expands isn't alarming.
Just got back from my jog on the Trinity Trails. You know like most walking/jogging, the one stating regularly that motorized vehicles aren't allowed. Saw FWPD go by in a UTV looking for social distance non-compliers. Three of them in one UTV not spaced apart, only one wearing a mask, clogging up the trail. Rules for thee...
God forbid they ride bikes and exercise.

I think there is a one-day lag.
If it's still in the 500s tomorow, then it's probably legit. But this same huge drop happened a week ago and rebounded up. You can see the weekend dips in the data now on the Texas dashboard.

Just to give an idea of how fast the test increase was, in Dallas County as of 5/2, the total number of tests was 30,622.TexasAggie008 said:

By 5/9, one week later, the total was 43,091. That's a 41 percent increase in 7 days.
Assuming lag for results, I would expect the cases to continue to climb, while the percent positive should continue to drop.
Simple math says that's around a 14% positive rate. Not great, but also far from the dire numbers Clay wants us to believe. ICU admissions and symptoms are declining.

Collin county saw about a 4.5% positive rate yesterday. (17 positive out of 382 tests)

Keep in mind that's not 14% of the population, but of a sample that is inherently biased towards folks that are sick and need to test.
Unfortunately the daily testing and hospitalization data are not available by county, but the state's is...

That top graph is pretty.
If reopening was a drastic failure, wouldn't we see skyrocketing numbers by now? Or is end of month probably best?
Just got an email from Lifetime gym on Mockingbird that they are opening on Monday (18th).

Too soon to know. Next 2 weeks will be telling. Of course, Judge Clay is focusing on total numbers instead of percent positive.Quote:

And then the next two weeks because we opened gyms and offices, then 2 weeks because of something else...we're going right back down the 2 week rabbit hole.
But we are rabbit-holing up. So that's good.
I would think June 1st would give us a good idea, though I still think the real challenge will come once people start going back to offices en masse.
Good idea of what? Number of cases? Number of deaths? What are we telling?
What problem are we even trying to solve?

Good idea of the number of hospitalizations and deaths and if our system can handle them and if they are at what we deem an acceptable level as a society. At least that's my take.
