OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

The patterns change all the time. Few months ago, California was the viral hellhole and it was masked and locked down harder. Now Israel, which has been a leader in vaccinated seems to be bad now. That pattern may follow here in a few months

Oregon is projected to run out of hospital beds by Labor Day with a 400-500 bed shortage.

 

Wait... So California masked and locked down then things got better?

Interesting... Perhaps this relationship should be investigated further...

 

This article provides absolutely nothing, except to say that it is ‘possible’ to test for variants. It doesn’t say that they are actually testing the general population for the delta variant (because they aren’t). It only alludes to India, where supposedly “a good chunk” of tests were subjected to the sequencing measures required to isolate the variant. No data, no numbers, no nothing. Just “a good chunk”. Wow, sounds sciencey. Oregonlive is dogshit.

Because it would prove the exact point I was making, that none of the tests people are taking are being screened to isolate any variants. They are just being given the same tests they’ve been using since before any variants were touted, and being given covid +/- results. So all the assertions attributing all the new cases to delta are completely unfounded.

 

He literally said the opposite of that.

 

You mean it got worse after they opened back up too soon, right?

 

It actually did...
“we are sequencing a good chunk of all positive cases across the country,” said Joseph Fauver

 

No, they locked everyone in and closed restaurants. Everyone just gathered at home and spread that way.

 

Only that nearly every single test that’s been administered hasn’t even been the kind that isolates variants. Are you able to produce any numbers showing the exact percentage of new cases that are delta, as proven by genome sequencing tests? Do you have that number?
Or how about a local hospital, clinic or testing facility that offers a free test that isolates for delta? I’m sure people aren’t running out to get genome sequencing done on the regular.

 

“Good chunk” isn’t a number. That’s the type of loose terminology a used car salesman specializes in.

 

Then why did they start opening back up? They were having basketball tournaments in California before we were in Oregon.

 

Other states were opening up fully without surges.

 

Do you really not get what I’m saying or are you trying to skate around it to avoid answering?

I’m not denying they can test for variants. Read that sentence again.

How many of the current positive tests that contribute to current positive covid cases have been tested specifically for the delta variant??? Give me a number, and don’t say “a good chunk”.
