For the week ending 10/31 AL Dept of Public Health reported at 9.8% positive test rate, up slightly week over week.   Only labs reporting both positive and negative test results were calculated and only nucleic acid amplification and antigen test methods are included. 

I don't know where cRusty the CoronaBro's guys get their numbers, but clearly different methodologies in play here.

It looks like the hotspots in europe may have peaked.

Belgium, France, and Czech Republic have, but it looks like Switzerland is still going up. North Dakota has regained its global per capita lead and surpassed Belgium's peak.

No, my coworker did.  I talked to a couple of doctors...they both said they don't recommend getting tested unless I have symptoms.  So, really I'm just banished from work.

Matches a recent story from a family member who doesn't have symptoms but was exposed last weekend.  Even with symptoms they have been told to just isolate.

Our testing isn't adequate enough still.

I talked to three people this week who got tested just because they traveled (no symptoms or even known exposures). One guy was getting a second test just to be safe. No need to talk to a doctor you just make an appointment or show up.

I mean these people in my example COULD go get a test but that is the advice of the county health departments.

Even if I tested negative, my work insists on me taking the full 14 days to quarantine.

As of 10/20 no symptoms no test in Belgium (Doctors and nurses asked to continue working even if they test positive)

Civil unrest growing across Europe, anti-lockdown protests in the UK this evening.  Macron concerned about growing violence in France.

Things are going swimmingly in all in, all over it, Europe.

Not giddiness in the least.  Unfortuantely some of our hyper partisan CoronaBro's in residence have forgotten the global part of global pandemic.

dax is excitedly pointing out that Europe is NOT handling this thing better than us as intimated by many people as a criticism of Trump.  Expect a hard shift by him to hyping other parts of the world once Biden is on the hook for our response to the pandemic. 

I expect the deaths to be down under Biden but that's almost purely speculation

There will be no hard shift with Biden, because as of now Biden's plan looks very familiar.   The only shift will be if Biden goes all dictator and tries some kind of idiotic national lock down.

Otherwise, I'm in full recognition of the nature of this virus, the massive volume of testing that's under way in the United States and the fact that there will be no diminishment of any substance until 1.  We reach herd immunity 2.  There's a vaccine.    While fully understanding we are on a train to a national survival rate of 99% plus, if we're not there already. 

I also understand that even today a substantial percentage of Covid-19 deaths in this country sit on the heads of a group of Grandma Killer Governors of which at least one is doing everything he can to stonewall the investigation. 

Unlike hyperpartisan douchebags, I understand what a global pandemic means.

How is Biden's plan similar to Trump's?

When you read through Biden's list on things like testing, most of all those things have been done.

Joe says he wants to set up at least 10 drive through testing sites per state.   Well, maybe it's in other 3rd world states, but we've had drive thru testing for months here. 

Paying for testing:  That's already being done.

Bullshit about free'ing up FEMA money from Joe, when already Trillions of dollars have been poured into state's to distribute as they see fit.   

Uninsured patients:  That's already being covered (had a big talk with KC medical professional friend today about that).   

Restart Predict says Joe, Trump already created Operation Spillover.

Vaccine Manufacturing: Already covered, Joe's bringing nothing new

Free Vaccine:  Already covered

Restore WH Pandemic Office when smart people already understand it never went away (see our recent re-intervention on Ebola) and understand that the restructing was because Barry blew up the NSC to unmanageable size.

I suspect there will be some type of mask requirement. It will drive the magas insane even though almost every state/municipality has already had one.

I'm not reading the Biden propaganda, I've gone through the compare and contrast articles.

Unbelieveable ground work already been done, and most the barriers that Obama-Biden didn't do jack crap about, have been removed.

Not doing your goggling anymore.

Besides, you're hitting the exits when this is over anyway, Phil.

Happy and content that your old white mega corrupt racist is in the White House (for 6 months or so)
