    predictably, trump is warping what he can on Covid in order to match his constant lies

    his latest is to point to the drop in daily new cases (1 week average) that shows up in this graph:

    upload_2020-8-6_10-12-1.png

    but like all things with trump, you always know there are deeper lies and corruption just below the surface. First, they took data and reporting away from the CDC and gave it to HHS, but really, they gave it to a private company whose owner is a giant trump nut-hugger

    and of course, trump has been at war with our testing level in the US while telling a bunch of totally stupid lies.....trying to slow down testing...and he has succeeded

    with that in mind, and that graph above in mind, I give you the rolling 1 week average of new testing in the US:

    lol...nearly mirror images. Trump corrupts everything he can get his hands on...everything.

    I'm curious on the number of tests...could there be "test fatigue" or the number of people who should be getting tested simply refuse to? I know 2 people close to me that expressed they had symptoms and considered to get a test and I was like, definitely go get tested!. And they never got tested, so they are probably super spreaders...smh. One of them does not surprise me, the other though, I'm quite surprised.

    You are correct.

    Other politicians pretend to care.

    POTUS Trump actually cares.

    LOL.

    I have been camping and kayaking at Wickiup Reservoir twice now, for 4 nights each time, at Little Cultus Lake for 4 nights, and have a week reserved at Crane Prairie Resort campground later this month. Oh, almost forgot, a week reserved in September at Big Cultus campground.

    Not to mention 6 day trips kayaking at Paulina and Crane Prairie lakes and on the Little Deschutes River.

    Plus, my property on the Little Deschutes River is my own personal campground 24/7.

    I was referring to what you posted, and anyone who believes it is credible advice. It's confusing when trying to work around nitpicking mods and their negative ways. :cheers:

    anyone that is using a worthless drug that has no benefit for the corona virus then by all means I say dump it into your system. I will listen to the doctors and the scientists. You can listen to your boy trump and his voodoo doctor.

    Cares about what? Himself? Then yes I agree as he is the biggest narcissist on this planet. He showed so much caring for John Lewis that all he could talk about was him not coming to his inauguration. Such a caring fella. :biglaugh:

    Interisland Travel Quarantine Reinstated, as Restrictions Return in Force to O‘ahu
    Hawai‘i took two big steps back in its battle with coronavirus on Thursday, as Gov. David Ige announced the reinstatement of the mandatory 14-day interisland quarantine along with a return to restrictions for the island of O‘ahu where the virus has become endemic.
    “The numbers keep growing, and we are concerned it will get worse before it gets better,” the governor said. “As we reopened our community, people let their guards down. It’s been very disappointing.”
    For now, these restrictions remain isolated to O‘ahu, though worsening case counts on neighbor islands could bring about renewed restrictions of their own.

    The primary initiative on O‘ahu is to limit large gatherings, Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell said, with a focus on stricter enforcement. He announced in a press conference Thursday an order that he called Act With Care, Do Not Gather.

    O‘ahu’s new restrictions will include the closure of 300 city and county parks, along with all state parks, and the beaches that front them. All campgrounds, botanical gardens, public and private pools, tennis clubs, and team sports have been closed or suspended. The restrictions go into effect on Friday, Aug. 7, and will extend through Sept. 5.

    People may still traverse the parks and beaches to get to the water and participate in activities like surfing, swimming, fishing, paddling, and diving, but activities on land will be prohibited. Restroom services will remain open, but no loitering will be allowed.

    Bars were already put under a three-week closure in Honolulu County starting Friday, July 31. Restaurants will be allowed to remain open, though cooks will be mandated to wear face coverings. Fitness centers will remain open but classes within them won’t be allowed. Movie theaters, spiritual services, and museums can remain open, but arcades, bowling alleys, and mini-golf courses will be forced to close.

    Honolulu Police Chief Susan Ballard said 160 extra police officers will be deployed under strategic enforcement initiatives and that warnings will no longer be the primary mode of enforcement. Instead, officers will write more citations and effect more arrests.
    Interisland quarantine restrictions on travel will return Tuesday, Aug. 11. The governor did not provide an expiration date for the order.

    Explaining to Trumpers in words of one syllable is pointless; truth is whatever their god emperor says and all else is fake news. But for any sane but wavering humans, a drug might be effective against one disease when taken under medical supervision due to severe side effects. That does not mean it is effective against a completely different disease. And controlled studies show hydroxychoroquine is ineffective and dangerous for Corona virus. No drug should be taken unsupervised because a politician wrong virtually 100 percent of the time and a nutcase who claims endometriosis is caused by sex with demons says to.
