  1. ? https://austincovidcount.com/ doesn't indicate that at all, unless I'm misunderstanding

    We're in 310, mixed group of friends and family. Can't wait.
  3. God fucking damnit this is the texas thread. Take this shit to the general thread or the CR thread.
  4. Family friends own an auto shop in San Antonio. One employee called in sick with covid symptoms last week, they shut down and had everyone get tested. All the shop guys working on the vehicles were negative. Every single office employee tested positive. Indoors in close proximity seems to be the worst. I don't know if they had masks on in the office or not.
  5. Honestly it's a fucked up thing to put your kid through.
  6. ABGB? Or did he just post on TOS?
  7. Sorry, sarcasm meter broken.
  8. Well, the city was always doing this for people who don't have a doctor, are under/not insured, or would normally seek care at an ER. You know as well as I that those of us with college degrees and professional jobs can work the system to get tested if we want to. Look at the zip codes where this is spreading rapidly, and look at the demographics of people admitted to the hospitals. Those people aren't flying to Colorado to get a test.
  9. Perhaps you missed the recent announcement. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.kvue.com/amp/article/news/health/coronavirus/coronavirus-testing-limited-austin/269-d38094c1-3c7c-45a6-9119-34463130cc19
  10. Assuming you've tested everyone in FL and the 110k total cases is correct, sure. Same thing happens with other respiratory viruses, it's impossible to quantify how many people aren't experiencing major symptoms and don't get tested.
  11. Just go read the article I linked https://ncase.me/covid-19/ as it actually has data simulations for those very factors you mention.
  12. https://ncase.me/covid-19/ If you've got time this explains it better than I ever could. TLDR: if it behaves like other coronaviruses and immunity lasts 8-12 months, 25% of herd immunity just makes us yo-yo through cases indefinitely until we get a vaccine. but life goes on.
  13. I think 20-25% of seretological studies are showing antibodies in NY/NJ. That isn't near enough for herd immunity.
  14. Meh, if I chose my neighborhood by what the neighborhood stay at home moms posted on Nextdoor, I'd probably have to live in Siberia. Besides, the yoga pants are nice.
  15. Dude they kill their hosts if they mutate to a more lethal strain.
  16. If hospitals don't run close to capacity they lose money, ICUs are no exception.
  17. While I agree with you about the majority parents working and having those difficulties of balance, there are half a dozen women that would rather be sipping on something with the kids in school on our street alone. And they're fucking vocal about it. The rest of us are too fucking busy to have time to gripe. Kinda sounds like life as usual, sadly.
  18. At this point I’ve gone from cautiously optimistic to oh fuck, not again. I read https://ncase.me/covid-19/ after someone posted it last night and some of those scenarios are hitting a little too close to home.
  19. 80m...you going back to Mexico or got a different trip planned?
  20. Gonna need pics to confirm.
  21. In talking with family, all the older folks thought one of the long term effects we might see is more single income families moving forward. I kinda brushed it off during the conversation just based on economics, but now I'm not so sure.
  22. Makes no sense to wait that long.
  23. Yeah I think I'll try some fungicide for TARR, that tree is tall and thin enough that there isn't much shade cover for afternoon sun. Thanks for the opinions
  24. I agree with the first sentence, but until that happens we can't be confident of the 2nd. There are so many waves of misinformation that Texans as a whole can't distinguish logical from agenda driven narratives with critical thinking skills. I know the why is a whole other thread, but I'm with your first point. Our leaders at the state level need to provide a unified message to simplify things and give us a chance, and they're just not doing that right now.
  25. @cactusflinthead any ideas on this? It's almost a circle around the tree there, like they treated the root zone of the tree or something. I didn't think it would be fungus because it hasn't spread to the rest of the yard and that section is slightly elevated so should drain better than surrounding turf.
