Washington’s COVID-19 testing collapses and governor abandons his “dials” after just one month
Washington Policy Center ^ | 06/05/2020 | Todd Myers

For the second time in about a month, Washington state leaders have completely changed how they track and report key metrics in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. Two weeks ago, as we noted, the previous dashboard with five dials proved to be largely useless, inaccurate, and irrelevant. Soon afterward, state officials stopped updating the dials and now they have abandoned them entirely.

The new dashboard the governor has put up is, potentially, an improvement.

For example, where his old dashboard with the dials claimed daily testing for COVID-19 was improving, saying the amount of testing was “very roughly steady,” his new dashboard tells a different story. The new metric measures the number of tests per new COVID-19 case.

I keep waking up each day thinking Governor Inslee and his hacks can't really believe a sufficient number of people in this state, two months later, actually believe he has any credibility left. Inslee's stupidity and arrogance knows no bounds.

I was watching charts before the changes and I saw the curve for all the bad things headed down until they just would not change it any more.

“I was watching charts before the changes and I saw the curve for all the bad things headed down until they just would not change it any more.”

This is my main national chart and the county I live in.

The biggest lie from the shelter and cower thugs was/is, “We need to close our schools and colleges to protect our precious kids.”

That age group was never in danger from this virus and still are not.

Check the blue line in the chart below. 0 to 24 years of age.

But other than that it was pretty good. I mean, you know, it had dials. Science.

Football killed itself when all the players and coaches kneeled, but their balls off, and bled to death.

The day we drove out of that stinking state, headed down through Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Arkansas, and Tennessee (I think I covered them all) down into my home state was the happiest day of my life!!! I lived in that communist utopia for 15 years after I retired from the Army. My wife, whom I met there, had lived almost all her life there. She was happier than I was to get out. She knew the state back in the 50s, 60s, before the homosexuals and liberals took over the state. She said it once was a really nice place to live. The day we hit Bama we hit our car horns and yelled!!! Free at last!!! Man, I hated that stinking place. This fine liberal slime ball governor was our communist commissar in the House of Reps back then. He was just as big a slime ball back then. I HATED THAT STINKING STATE AND STILL DO. My wife went back up there for a wedding, but I did not go. I had escaped from behind enemy lines. I wasn’t going back again. She hasn’t been back since then either.

When I think of Governor Jay "Dimslee", I am reminded of the "Rockey and Bullwinkle" character, Captain Peter "Wrongway" Peachfuzz

Inslee needs to try to keep up. The Covid-19 DemPanic is so yesterday. Today we are trying to either A) burn down the White House, or B) keep the White House from being burnt down. Depends on your perspective and desires. Nobody is listening to the governors any more.

Once we were told that virtue signaling was to be treated as a cure for the virus, the game was over.

(Personally I think the virus is serious, but there is no way that the governors can be taken seriously any more—they squandered any credibility they had by siding with the looters.)

We will peak with less death than the Flu season only a few years ago and maybe ‘Rona doesn’t even beat this Flu season but the left got their crisis.
