Gang, this is a bad prospect for this fall's football season.

SIOUX CITY -- Woodbury County recorded one new confirmed case of COVID-19 Friday, raising the county's total to eight.

Roughly 4 percent of Woodbury County's tests have come back positive for COVID-19. As of Friday, 228 total tests had been completed on Woodbury County residents and 220 of them were negative.

Three Woodbury County residents who tested positive for COVID-19 have recovered, the health department reported earlier this week.

As the availability of testing increases, health officials said last week they expect the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 to rise. Local health officials estimate they'll be able to test up to 60 patients a day for the novel coronavirus at a drive-thru testing site that opened March 27 in downtown Sioux City. In order to be tested for COVID-19, patients must call their primary care physician, who will assess their symptoms either in-person or through telehealth, a visit by phone or video chat.


This in a county of just over 100,000.

to qualify for the test, you need to be at serious risk or have ALL the symptoms.  I'm guessing some folks don't have all the symptoms but are simply scared and lying about their situation to get a test.

roughly 4%

Hearing that the tests have roughly a 30% false negative rate. That's... Concerning.

that might help explain the spread

folks get a negative test and assume they are NOT contagious - then relax their efforts and give it to many others

My step daughter tested negative, and then her doctor told her it didn't really mean anything, she has all the classic symptoms.

A bad test is worse than no test at all.

I'm not shocked that the test would be dicey at this point.  The Abbot test might be more reliable.

Here in SE Florida today is the first day of the statewide “ shelter in place”.  Being in the financial side I am Allowed to travel to the office- which I do from Time to time because even though we’re working from home many actual loan documents are only legal with a real signature so I do have to go print occasionally

The traffic is unchanged.  Busy as hell

Viruses jumping from animals to humans is common, to the extent it has an actual technical name.

We are animals after all, mammals etc.
Viruses that jump species to species are called zoonotic viruses.

And it’s not as common for them to jump to humans as you think. Why? Because most of these viruses are in WILD animals that belong in the wild and don’t belong anywhere near modern human beings and modern civilization.

You have barbaric savages in third world shit hole countries capturing and/or breeding wildlife and chopping them up and eating them in very densely packed public spaces.

SIV for example would’ve never in a million f’n years come into contact with humans and mutated and turned into HIV if it wasn’t for PEOPLE capturing these WILD monkeys and apes that carried the SIV virus and then chopped them up and butchered them and ate them and got infected with a new virus that previously was NEVER found in human beings.

Wildlife poaching and wildlife markets in Africa and Asia are going to be the end of humanity. This Coronavirus is nothing compared to what’s lurking around the corner. The true fatality rate on this thing is probably less than 1%. There are other viruses out there lurking in wild animals that are WAY more deadly than that.

Lol I haven’t left the house today but yesterday I was down in Broward county and the traffic was still as insane as ever. 

This shelter in place order that DeSantis put in place is kinda weak. Lots of exemptions and wiggle room for people. He did it just to save face and relieve some political pressure.

Actually, it's pretty much the same order in every state, except New York. Cuomo tightened theirs down last week.

I do need to go out to the day to the "grocery store"...

This particular "grocery store" sells grain, and hops, but because they sell food they're deemed essential. 

I actually do need to go to the butcher as well. Since my wife and I are obviously not going to Ruth's Chris tomorrow for our anniversary dinner, I'll be buying some great steaks. 

What's going to be weird is that my wife bought us some fabric masks. I don't want to have to wear it because I know I'll feel awkward... But I'm going to do so. Also planning on bringing wet wipes to wipe down my hands as soon as I get in the car after each stop.

From the NYT, apparently derived from cellphone location data.

how do you cook your steaks? 

Grill? Oven? Cast iron on the stove ?

Traffic here has been WAY down for weeks now.  If folks in FL have been carrying on as if nothing much is happening, they are going to have more problems than just New Yorkers coming into the state.

It could be bad, but I don’t think it’ll approach NY levels. South Florida is very spread out and nowhere near as many people or as densely populated as NYC/NJ metro area.
