Beer Virus V

Testing frequency may be static, but has there been any impact in positivity rate, based on the new rule requiring two positive test results? (Or was that merely a suggestion, that wasn't implemented?)

I'm not sure that suggestion was officially implemented for reporting purposes or was guidance for people who wanted to know if they had it.

Based on that site posted above, it looks like the positivity rate has been within a couple percent, ~8% +/- 2% just eyeballing it - for a month or so.

The positivity rate appears to have peaked in early January, but we've been in exponential growth of deaths since November. That the 2 would track upward at the same time makes sense to me - more cases translates to more deaths. But as the positivity rate has fallen, the number of deaths does not appear to have followed suit, except maybe the lag is more like 6 weeks or something.

Apparently they don't know what hero means either.

Forgive my ignorance, but why do they deserve more money? I am an essential worker. I can not charge more because I am out there in it. As a matter of fact thanks to some lame Fed policies tenants can stop paying rent and get paperwork from the judge, if they play the system. This has yet to happen to me.

I have a couple that just tested positive. We are working thru a pay schedule without fines for them. They came to me.

Another tenant has been tested probably four times that I know of, all negative. All so she can get time off work.

Just had a tenant who shorted rent say that it wasn't as bad as it could have been with Covid and all. She is collecting disability for her ex-husband whom she moved in. Plus her teenage child gets a stipend because her father is now on disability. They make probably twice as much as they did before, and lose nothing because of this virus.

Crazy as it may seem...it is just possible that a governmental body did something irresponsible to make dumb people think they are compassionate.

You nailed that one. Biggest problem is the same people that made these rules are not suffering financially from the pandemic.

Just had a tenant who shorted rent say that it wasn't as bad as it could have been with Covid and all. She is collecting disability for her ex-husband whom she moved in. Plus her teenage child gets a stipend because her father is now on disability. They make probably twice as much as they did before, and lose nothing because of this virus.

And people wonder why this keeps dragging on and on. The "pandemic" has been spectacularly profitable for certain kinds of people. Government making it rain free money and free rent all year long, why would you ever want it to end? I know plenty of people who made more money sitting on their asses at home in 2020 than they ever did working.

First day, they changed diagnostic criteria. Two weeks later and new cases are cut in half.

Just like they cured the flu this year by ceasing to test for it.

Todays report claims total deaths at 11,346!
WTF? Today's stats took a major jump with nothing more than "We found 1,507 bodies in the back room so the last 9 months of reporting have been BS."
ISDH is complete buffoons.

Those bodies must have been with those overnight votes for Biden.

They put them back in storage after taking them to the polls.

WTHR and WXIN both have covid updates citing the 11,346 deaths without any explanation for the huge increase (15%) from yesterday's numbers.
Seems odd to me that so called news organizations don't even mention that deaths in Indiana increased by 15% literally OVERNIGHT.

Sound like the same reason that all medical facilities padded their numbers so much early on, because the 'rona cases paid so much better?
