So a couple of observations. It’s very likely we’re seeing the spread in Texas and Arizona due to proximity to the Mexican border. LA due to the riots. SC and FL due to being vacation destinations.
Also, the test results time is ridiculous due to the volume. How many get tired of waiting and get retested at another test site, thus being counted as 2 cases? Because that’s exactly what happened to my daughter and her boyfriend. They were initially tested at a CVS site and hadn’t received their results after 12 days, so they were advised to get tested again at a site hosted by her healthcare system. Both were positive. So is that 2 positive cases or 4?
In MS that would be one positive ‘case’. Someone specifically asked Dr. Dobbs that in some news conference.
The test results follow the person. That’s what’s meant by ‘case’. Multiple positives for that one person are still one ‘case’.
HTH.
And it’s a complete travesty that they didn’t get results faster than that.
Complete travesty.
In europe it takes less than a day. Sometimes way less, like an hr or two.
. It’s very likely we’re seeing the spread in Texas...due to proximity to the Mexican border.
In my town, it is due in part to our County Commissioners refusing to shut down events at our County Events Center like Summer Markets, Gunshows, Quinceneara for 500, plus, GOP Political Events (Allen West appearance), Primary Run Off Parties, and one Commisioner who has a local radio show touting, “hoax”.
This is compounded by the folks who think family get togethers, convenience/appearance and public sports are worth the risk.
