Yesterday according to DOH there were 15,000 positives but 121,000 tests which is the an flexible biggest daily report of tests. The positivity rate was under 12% for the first time in weeks.

We are on the down slide as ER visits are decreasing as are admissions.

Purely anecdotal, but my father (88 with numerous underlying conditions) was taken to the hospital in Naples, FL. for a suspected heart attack. Heart attack was ruled out after one day and blamed on something non life threatening. He had to spend an extra two days in the hospital trying to get two negative Covid tests 24 hours apart. The final result was three positives and three negatives before being discharged. He never showed any symptoms of Covid, and never had it, but suffered through two extra days of hell trying to prove it.

Nurse told him they get so many false positives that patients are being forced into extended stays needlessly. In your opinion, is the test that unreliable? How much might this be contributing to the increased positive cases and high rate of positivity?

Not according to my local lefty rag, TCPalm. Every day is worst than the day before and now we only have 39 hospital beds left in the whole area!!! Heavens to Mergatroid! We’re all gonna die! Masks masks masks! 🙄🙄🙄 Oh, and most of the folks taking up the hospital beds are AA so there’s definitely some racism tossed into the mix 🙄🙄🙄
