Yesterday's thread here:

We have been living with this here in Blacksburg. Two students infected and one who discovered it and then went back home to near DC.
What friend of trump is sick..heavy set older
the author didn’t research. At least a week ago the regs were relaxed so that HCWs could use construction/commercial grade masks outside of red zons, and an all-points call for said companies to donate asap went out.
There is a shortage of masks because pandas deployed by CCP raped every western country of their available masks and PPE. Even going to small communities to do so (kind of like that hand sanitizer guy that had the 17,500 bottles the Kentucky DA made him donate). And, after causing a pandemic, CCPChina has ramped up mask production to SELL them instead of donate back to the countries they pillaged of PPE supplies.
I am looking at the state numbers here:
They are now large enough that I think we have a metric to compare relative undercounting of actual cases due to lack of testing.
It looks like hospitalization of positive cases is in the 15% range.
If a state has a much higher hospitalization rate then that should be indicative of a relative undercount (undertesting). Note: The hospitalization rate is not available for all states.
So, for example, Alaska is showing 6 hospitalized out of 102 cases. That suggests they are doing a good job of tracking down individual cases.
Arkansas is 11%, again suggesting they are on top of testing.
California, on the other hand, has an 18% hospitalization rate.
Other states with high hospitalization rates (meaning significant undercounts of cases):
CT (my home state) at 20%—they have admitted they cannot keep up with testing.
GA at 25%
LA at 32% (big undercount there)
MD at 22%
MS at 31% (big undercount there)
NY at 20% (testing like crazy but still can’t keep up..)
OH at 24% (significant undercount—I am expecting them to get hit much harder from the returned spring breakers)
OK at 33% (big undercount)
OR at 24% (they have tested heavily, must be looking in some of the wrong places)
PA at 20%
Big states with no numbers available: NJ, TX.
"Hundreds of worshippers attended services at a Louisiana church on Sunday, flouting a ban on large gatherings, angering neighbors and seemingly turning a deaf ear to their governor, who once again warned that hospitals could soon be overwhelmed with new cases of the coronavirus. An estimated 500 people of all ages filed inside the mustard-yellow and beige Life Tabernacle church in Central, a city of nearly 29,000 outside Baton Rouge."
Wow. He explains how small droplets from our mouths can get caught in air flow. Which can dry the water or make it gaseous, then the virus is aerosol and very light weight. Bingo.
Sleep with one eye open...
That would be great.
Flubros just had a thread this weekend that nothing was going on in brooklyn
Idiots...could do that japanese video in their church to see which ones will get it
“Chuck Norris came in contact with the corona virus. Corona-chan is now in quarantine for 14 days.”
If NYC can have flubros, any place can.
This thing hit _fast_.
Chris Martenson talked about an adjustment reaction.
Some folks just can’t do it.
Every single one probably pre-contaminated.
I noticed that my mail deliverer is wearing those blue gloves every day now.
"I don't think you know what that word means."
There you go, doing it again.
I’m not using a mask that any part of comes from China. 3M or die. Not die, die, just the expression.
I’m starting to think that the Flubros are full to the brim with something brown and stinky.
I’m wondering how effective a #4 Melitta coffee filter would be.
