92,016 so-called New Cases today.
Sigh.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Purely anecdotal - we were driving through California and Nevada last week and drove past obvious drive-up test sites. As far as I could see, they were all empty.
My wife works in a medical clinic in the SF Bay Area that has a testing site and she hasn’t heard but a handful of positive cases.
Where are the positive tests being reported from? How are the numbers generated? I’m baffled.

Everywhere and nowhere.
There will be over 100K today, and no pattern. I have been fumbling for words to express this for the last few weeks ... called it FOG etc ... but the point is EVERYWHERE THERE IS TESTING THERE ARE POSITIVES.
This is because these MOST OF THESE are FALSE POSITIVES.
Earlier we saw two crests of the Chinavirus wave, one in the great northern cities, and then again, in the southern population centers.
That made sense. The virus was traveling or migrating across the geography of the nation, and like a wave cresting over a sand bank, the viral wave crested in population centers.
But no more.
