      Most of federal testing places being cut back are in Texas. My in-laws are posing a good arguement on why this is not a good and I'm having difficulty arguing with their point.

      They state... If it was just the increased testing that was generating increased case numbers, as Trump incidates, then why are Covid-19 hospitalizations in Texas almost 3X higher than 4 weeks ago when Texas started to opened up? There is exponential growth now. Testing does not lead to higher hospitalizations so how can we explain this?

      They sent this BS chart. I double checked where they got the data and confirmed it was real and they did not make it up.

      Some good arguments please. Not just BS.
      Thanks for the assist.



      Source is from Texas Department of Health statistics Covid-19 dashboard.


      This data is found by going to the site, selecting the bottom righthand tab (Additional Data), select the "Accessible Dashboard Data" link to pull up the spreadsheet, and then select "Hostpitalizations by Day" tab in the spreadsheet.
      when did Texas open up for elective procedures and other non emergency stuff at hospitals? did they slow that down in the spring when Covid was big in the North East or not?

              Texas did the shutdown thing (no elective surgeries, no indoor seating, etc...) April 3rd and then did a gradual open between April 30th through ~May18th when bars opened. Since the 18th, the allowed capacity for inside seating has increased from 25% to 100% ~June 1st.

                          Good point! Pack people in like cattle on a farm and wonder what will happen. Every state that reopens is going to have an uptick in cases. Travel will slowly resume and more and more cases will pop up. It's going to be like this until a successful vaccine is available. Quarantine if you're old or in the at risk category. Just ordered myself a Whoop band today. Some evidence showing that by monitoring your heart rate and respiratory breathing, it can catch covid-19 pretty quickly (within 3 days). That's how one of the PGA golfers decided he should be retested and popped positive. Can be helpful if you plan on seeing family or elderly people.

                                These protests are most likely organized at least in part by China who does not want us to recover. They treat their own people like dog doo, you think they mind screwing with us to save billions? A recovered America voting for Trump is bad for China.

                                  Did you know there was so much inbreeding in Mayan culture that they made 6 fingered and 6 toed dolls for the children?
