It's funny that you completely made that up and thought anyone would take it seriously.It’s funny that the people protesting/rioting in the streets are the same hypocrites who were going on and on about social distancing and shitting all over Elon for wanting to reopen Fremont.
(3/4): It's actually very simple. Alameda is testing more. A *lot* more. Despite the misleading label, this isn't a graph of total tests ever run; it's averages across 7d of daily tests (http://acphd.org/media/579059/covid-update-week-of-may-18.pdf…), & has tested 10s of thousands w/5-6% positive rate)
You clearly didn't read this piece very closely. Sorry you didn't like it but he actually makes a very careful distinction between case fatality rate and IFR. And since he is a physician he's talking about the clinical presentation of illness which is distinct from influenza something you would not know because you're not a clinician. You do not see kidney failure, pathological clotting, strokes, and the like in influenza (regrettably he did not go into details on these clinical issues). Not sure what turned you off but I thought you jumped the gun on this one.

I'm surprised that your only explanation is that I didn't read it carefully enough.
In other words, it is an article about CFR values being "fuzzy" and inconclusive, while talking its way around the existence of serious IFR studies.
Cruel times for everyone, especially celebrities and politicians and social media staff, deciding which hot topic to support violently at the moment with their big hearts.
You must be reading a different article than the one that I'm reading. He's not talking about it being fuzzy and inconclusive he's talking about it being contextual. And I can easily put 10 variables on the table that modulate both case fatality rate and infection fatality rate. The degree and penetration of those variables into any demographic may be what determines mortality rate. And in that sense, as he says, it is not a fixed number that has to be discovered in terms of "one true value," it's a dependent and ultimately derivative statistic. If you're skeptical about there being at least 10 variables that modulate fatality rate, I'd be happy to enumerate as many as I can. It's a long list. And this is just even the ones that we know. Safe to assume there are polymorphisms and other variables that are completely unmapped.
Both the numerator and the denominator needed to calculate a mortality rate remain fuzzy.
Some good news, they tested 45 of of the 140 clients of two hairdressers who were working while having COVID-19 (and symptomatic!) and all of them were negative.
Many Clients Of Great Clips Stylists With COVID-19 Test Negative For The Illness
I guess masks work or some people aren't very infectuous.
Hopefully the 95 clients who chose not to be tested just isolated for two weeks and didn't go around infecting their friends, families and coworkers...
If we see a surge up in cases in the weeks following the protests (especially in the cities with the biggest protests) then these "experts and health officials" will be wrong to say it was OK (on a scientific basis).
And if we do not see a surge then they were wrong before in restricting so many outdoor activities (playing tennis is a good example, but also sitting at the beach mostly distanced like most protesters are).
So we opened up for phase 2, we now have the highest single day total, beating the old record on Apr 8 (almost two months ago).

My girlfriend (Latina) and I are (reasonably) clean-cut professionals in our 30s. We went to one of the Knoxville AFC covid testing sites on Saturday because she had covid symptoms. When we got there, the intake nurses tried to dissuade her from taking the test by (1) questioning whether she really had symptoms, (2) telling her that the test wouldn't be covered by her insurance (not true), (3) initially refusing to take her identification (a valid U.S. passport), and (4) not following any of the procedures on the intake form.
She persisted in asking for the test and they finally took a nasal swab, assuring me that she was going to be tested for covid.
We waited in the car. A nurse came out to give us the results. She said nothing about covid, only telling us that my girlfriend had flu symptoms but tested negative for the flu. She never asked for a flu test.
It was bizarre. We would have written it off as a miscommunication except we were at a place solely designed for doing covid tests and clearly requested a covid test.
