So I'm just a random dude on the internet and I can't disclose how I know this, but it looks like Elon Musk is serious about moving to Texas, and not just bluffing the California authorities. Austin specifically. So get ready for that poo poo show.

So what's the deal with Austin? We extended our stay-at-home order until end of May, but Abbott's order specifically says such local orders expire on the 15th.

The deal is that the state government are monsters and the city government is trying to look out for its citizens in opposition to them.

Iunno whether the state will really crack down on them or not.

Extremely low, he's only beating Kemp in terms of virus handling approval. DeWine is like, 86 percent and he probably took the swiftest and most restrictive response in any of the Trump states

It's a coming of age ceremony and her little goon was all grown up and ready to leave the nest.

Contrary to what they repeatedly say at them, graduations aren't actually for the kids 9 times out of 10.

Yeah according to the graph just above, the results are still varying pretty directly with the number of test results reported, and you really need to see a divergence one way or the other before you can tell what that means.

I fully expect that cases should go up, that's the natural and expected result of the opening up, but we really need broad enough testing to know for sure whether they went up because they went up or whether they went up because we tested more people - or both / neither.

That's my primary concern. We just don't have enough data. So, because we're in a demand-based economy, and that's just the way it is right now, we are trying to open that economy up. However, we have no idea where we really were when we did that and we have no idea what the real impact of doing it is because we're getting better at testing at about the same rate that we are opening up.

It's like everything else, never play with three dynamic variables at the same time.

The percentage of positive cases will tell you how things are going regardless of how many tests are being performed.

I've just been hiding out in my house and I know nothing of the world outside my doors, but I've seen indications in other threads that testing is starting to become easier for people that are asymptomatic, rather than just people that are feverish and obviously ill. Wouldn't opening up that skew percentages of positive tests downward without really giving any meaningful data on the number of people actually sick?

You would see an initial downward trend on positive rates, yes, but that would reverse fairly quickly as people start catching the virus again.

Of course, the initial premise is questionable. Like you, I have been hiding in my house for the past month. If testing becomes more widely available, I wouldn't just go and get tested, since there is no way I have been exposed.

the most common reason for this is when a backlog gets cleared (e.g. a laboratory receives a large batch of reagent shipment they were needing to process test kits that have been sitting in storage). it happens occasionally in other states.
