Texas response to Corona virus

[pgardn]

Our dear governor, Gregg Abbott, has learned that not listening to ins utional knowledge can be as lucrative as a tree falling on your legs and suing the owner of the property.

This idiot awards a contract to a private company because he has got rid of so much apolitical ins utional knowledge within his own health department. Perfectly inline with Trump. Hire bad managers, get awful spur of the moment inept private companies.

295 million dollar contract to a company that has not a clue what its doing and the head has faked a PHD.
Yeah Texas, hope it all works out.

Abbott is going for profit using this virus.

But any R0 is just an estimate and, epidemiologists stress, an imperfect one.

A paper published last year in Emerging Infectious Diseases, an academic journal, described the metric as important but warned that it can be “easily misrepresented, misinterpreted and misapplied.”

There is no consensus for how to measure it. Much of the underlying math relies, by necessity, on educated guesses and on human factors that can change unpredictably.

For this reason, most diseases are given a range, rather than a single figure. SARS is usually described as having an R0 of 2 to 5 — an enormous difference.

Tellingly, scientists are still disputing and revising estimates for diseases that have been studied for years; R0 figures for measles have ranged from 3.7 to 203.

If you go to the doctor today in texas. And you tell them that you had symptoms of covid in march? Or if you were around someone who had tested pos in march and had symptoms of covid..... you are a NEW CASE COUNT TODAY.

If you get elective surgery. You have to get tested. If you test ab pos you will be a NEW DAILY CASE COUNT and A NEW DAILY HOSPITALIZATION.

that is science!

I remember you said it was the flu. Lol you

[tholdren]

I remember you said it was the flu. Lol you

And it is less than that, if you are under 50. Per the cdc.

Lol you

[tholdren]

El nono doesn't know what applied science means

[ChumpDumper]

And

Enough excuses, Karen.

Why do you have to lie all the time?

[tholdren]

Enough excuses, Karen.

Why do you have to lie all the time?

Haven't lied about anything. All facts. I'm right. You're wrong.

[ChumpDumper]

Haven't lied about anything. All facts. I'm right. You're wrong.

No, you said it's the flu. Wrong. Quit lying, Karen.

[tholdren]

No, you said it's the flu. Wrong. Quit lying, Karen.

Cdc says less than flu under 50. Ifr is 2x flu.

I was right. Unless you say the cdc is wrong? Why don't you use the numbers to prove me wrong. Lol

[ChumpDumper]

Cdc says less than flu under 50. Ifr is 2x flu.

I was right. Unless you say the cdc is wrong? Why don't you use the numbers to prove me wrong. Lol

Excuse after excuse.

You called it the flu, Karen.

No more lies.

[tholdren]

Excuse after excuse.

You called it the flu, Karen.

No more lies.

Wait so no numbers? Beahahaahahaha look at you and your no math. Lololol

[ChumpDumper]

Wait so no numbers? Beahahaahahaha look at you and your no math. Lololol

Karen's desperately trying to change the subject from her lies.

[tholdren]

Karen's desperately trying to change the subject from her lies.

You Google ifr and realized you had no idea what that meant. Sweet cover

[ChumpDumper]

You

You're the one who lies, Karen.

[tholdren]

You're the one who lies, Karen.

Only quoting parts of a response and name calling "liar" dude you not bright

[ChumpDumper]

Only

keep trying to change the subject Karen.

[Blake]

Haven't lied about anything. All facts. I'm right. You're wrong.

[tholdren]

Nothing to change. You said I called it the flu. I am correct. Its less than flu for people under 50. You will never be able to statistically prove me wrong based on the data collected by USA. But even with the overcount cdc is aligned to my stance.

[ChumpDumper]

I called it the flu. I am correct.

wrong

[RandomGuy]

[demonstrates conclusively that tholdren didn't know what he was talking about or was simply being dishonest]

[changes subject from his inaccurate claim, to repeating his unbased claim that there will not be a need for beds]

.. and with that, you show your ass.

Can't support claims, just repeat them. That is what snot-nosed, punk-ass posers do, and why I post links to show exactly where I get my information from.

[RandomGuy]

That math. Lol. By your 3/17 math Texas has negative population. Whoops. Anti science

"based on what we know now, you were really dumb about this in march"

Wasn't really meant to be the definitive r-naught if memory serves, merely illustrative of concept.

Try harder. Or you know, keep
