Good idea of what? Number of cases? Number of deaths? What are we telling?
What problem are we even trying to solve?

We need leaders to work with experts of medicine, public health, economics, and business and strike a balance.
It's possible they could have genuine motives and be wrong and/or disagree with your POV. I strongly doubt there are many (if any) who want the economy damaged irreparably.agcrock2005 said:Ol Jock 99 said:

Yeah that ain't gonna happen. Dems want this to last until damage is irreparable (probably already there) and R's will look like enemy of the people when they demand the economy get back rolling when the media is acting like this is such a serious situation still.
If you are merely disagreeing with someone politically without assigning evil intent and malice then you aren't playing at today's high standard of internet discourse.double aught said:It's possible they could have genuine motives and be wrong and/or disagree with your POV.

Back to 678 today, so yeah, the weekends lag in reporting.DFWTLR said:Down to 530 today, is the reporting still behind from Sunday?Hood said:The weekend numbers drop significantly. This will probably rebound to the mid-600s Monday. It's likely a reporting issue.DFWTLR said:TexasAggie008 said:
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.
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.
The Texas COVID dashboard now plots this info and it dips every weekend.

Sadly, I think elections matter to politicians more than the health of the nation (this is an issue that reaches across the aisle). I wish the nation would come together to throw every last one of them out of Congress just to make a point.

What's the point? Are they virus hunting?
If people are not sick enough to go to the hospital or ask for a test, why do you even really care if they are positive?
That seems to be counterproductive though - the City of Dallas alone is looking at a $25M budget shortfall due to the drop in sales tax revenue. The federal government isn't going to completely make up that shortfall. Wouldn't that lead to a net reduction in services and "amenities" (parks and libraries are seeing some of the largest cuts, I believe)? And won't that lead to further frustration among voters, thus threatening the incumbents' likelihood of getting re-elected?riverrataggie said:
We've been past the point for weeks. City is trying to fight an imaginary war. One in which the stakes are not all that high, but o boy does it result in lots of funding.
Follow the dollars.
Because you want the people with COVID to self-isolate if they find out that they have it so that they don't infect other people.yukmonkey said:

Yes, because this is a very very scary virus that's killing everyone it touches.Ol Jock 99 said:
You don't want positive people in public, symptomatic or not.
Editing my response. Too flippant. But the gobt response has far surpassed anything reasonable. Get ready for contract tracing.agcrock2005 said:Yes, because this is a very very scary virus that's killing everyone it touches.Ol Jock 99 said:

While I can see why you would say this, I also see why the adult conversation left a long time ago.Ol Jock 99 said:

The program would ask that a business take a pledge to follow certain guidance from public health officials on distancing and safe operations. They would also be asked to follow a color-coded guide the county released this week that deems which activities are safe based on the risk-level of community spread.
Those businesses that participate will be able to show off a Stay Safe Business insignia in their windows
