I don't believe them. GA, TX, FL all, apparently report reduction

[question everything]

in Covid-19 cases.

As the current occupant of the White House said: if you don't test you don't have a case.

So, I just don't believe these Trump states when they open their beaches and restaurants and, the most important of all - tattoo parlors - that their cases are down.

1. Texas reports one death yesterday from COVID-19

One.

In the entire state of Texas.

I mean, it's obvious bullshit.

[LeftInTX]

8. May 21st lists 21 deaths

May 20: 50
May 19: 22
May 18: 11
May 17: 31
May 16: 33

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

[LeftInTX]

17. Ah ok, worldometers cuts off their counts at 6pm central time

I think they run on GMT. I know our county (Cameron) doesn't usually report the daily figures until right before the 10pm news so they won't show up on today's totals at worldometer. It's also why totals don't line up with the state's HHS numbers, who updates their tally early every afternoon.

The HHS site, while a bit laggy due to its 1pm cutoff, is by far the best source of tracking for the state, you can plot bar charts for a given county, see how many people both overall and per 1000 have tested positive in your county, see the total cases and deaths in nursing homes and assisted living centers grouped by regions, and a lot of other things if you're a data junkie (most of it as at the last tab labeled "Additional data.&quot And as of yesterday they started listing how many antibody tests have been administered statewide.

9. Where do you see that?

Texas' HHS website shows 21 deaths yesterday and 50 the day before.

12. Sorry replied wrong place see above

2. Yep. DeSantis can not be believed under any circumstances.

He does not really care about us in FL, he is only interested in pleasing his dear leader.

[Fiendish Thingy]

3. Media should speak to hospitals directly - how many ICU beds available?

Alabama hospitals ICU’s are overflowing.

[LeftInTX]

18. They do this every day in Bexar County..our mayor gets on provides capacity, beds in use etc.

He explains it in plain English, because charts and graphs can be a bit abstract

4. Of course

They are lying as they cover for that con man liar and a cheat. Wait till the hospitals start filling up and over flowing along with a huge spike in covid deaths.

[BamaRefugee]

5. Unless they are simply not reporting ANY deaths, there have to be death certificates issued.

All you have to do is take any day of the year, for say 5 random years previously, and figure out the average number of death certificates on that day in any given locale.
Then get the number of death certificates for the same day this year. If they’re lying, and I’m 99% sure they are, the death certificates for this year will be higher than the average.

Of course you have to pick a day further back this year than just this week, to allow for lag time in reporting deaths.

6. Florida had 1200 more cases yesterday

The biggest one-day increase since April.

[kairos12]

7. These are PRAVDA numbers.

[Igel]

10. Even when the positive test numbers were going up,

the rate of positive to negative was going down.

[blogslut]

14. Texas spent the last 2-ish weeks testing meat processing plants, nursing homes and jails.

So, naturally there was a steep rise in cases.

However, today in Randall + Potter counties (pop 240,000), there were 43 new cases. That is not good. Numbers are still going up but they probably won't spike like they did the last couple of weeks. I pray they won't.

15. They are all lying.. put AZ in that column too

[ananda]

16. These are red states with bad governors and officials.

Nuff said.
