There's a local (Central IL) doctor who's been doing antibody tests, and he said that only, like, 3% of them have come back positive.

CBS12.com posted:

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (CBS12) — As Florida starts to reopen, the architect and manager of Florida's COVID-19 dashboard, announced she'd been removed from her position, Florida Today reported.

Rebekah Jones said in an email to CBS12 News that her removal was "not voluntary" and that she was removed from her position because she was ordered to censor some data, but refused to "manually change data to drum up support for the plan to reopen."

Jones made the announcement May 5 in a farewell email to researchers and other members of the public who had signed up to receive updates on the data portal, according to Florida Today. She said that for "reasons beyond my division's control," her office is no longer managing the dashboard, involved in its publication, fixing errors or answering any questions.

Florida's COVID-19 dashboard, created by a team of Florida Department of Health data scientists and public health officers led by Jones, was praised by White House officials for its accessibility, the Florida Daily reported. But over the last few weeks, it "crashed and went offline, data disappeared with no explanation and access to the underlying data sheets became difficult."

Jones told CBS12 News that since she's been removed, the dashboard still hasn't been fully repaired.

CBS12 News reached out to the Florida Department of Health for comment and is waiting to hear back.

God, I hate when they make me do this president poo poo with speeches and meetings and stuff, my show's coming on!

I wish some fox news nut would start running alien and ufo conspiracy poo poo directed at trump. Have Giorgio from Ancient Aliens and Stephen Greer on for hour long blocks at 8am twice a week talking about dumb poo poo like "benefits for economy of alien interaction" or something about galactic space drugs being a cure for covid. "Does Moon McDonald's exist and are their filet o fish really superior?" Get that blink182 guy on to "voice the youth concerns" or something else extravagantly dumb.

We'd have any super top secret alien files go public in a week. Trump would tell stories that aren't related and way more fantastical than any actual paper trail would show. He'd televise a walking tour of area 51 for Fox news. Maybe pat Elon on the head and give him an infinity dollar contract.

I mean, goddamnit, if ever there was a time to manipulate a sitting president into rambling craziness for our own entertainment, it has to be in our hell dimension timeline.


Then I want fox news to follow up with ghosts.

You know what's moderately annoying that you can easily commiserate with another person about? Not getting a haircut.

Wouldn't it be really loving great if you found something that was easy to bitch about to others to use as a rallying point to find common cause against how much this all sucks? Goddamn I wonder what could be used to market that common angle of frustration? What in the WORLD could that be, what similar thing shared by many people could be held up as an almost universal sign of inconvenient displeasure that is easily recognized and easily overcome by simply bitching, and therefor a good enough goal to shoot for to empower a large rear end group of people?

I've been growing my hair since I was about 16 and I only have to grab the end of my pony tail, grab scissors and chop off the part that's too long every now and then.

So the whole "can't go to the hair dresser" has been a major mindfuck to wrap my head around this part of regular life that's now missing for most people.

I mean, I prefer to go to get my hair cut and beard trimmed because they do a better job, but I definitely have used the clippers in the last month. Sure I miss some spots, but it's not the end of the world, and I'm not upping my chances of catching 'rona.

Actually, most of the hardships of confinement have been something cpmpletely unrelatable/foreign to me. First, I'm an artist that works from home for the most part. So having to stay home in front of the computer is... life already?
I'm confined with my favorite human in the world, so on that side I'm blessed too. No young kids in school or anything like that, I get the canadian relief financial aid so I make more than I need, my wife makes her college teacher salary, and we're working together on editing a documentary together.

I could take another year or two of this situation honestly. #privilege

I even get amazing weed online from the state, paid for by the state, with my credit score going up, getting in better physical shape and zero worries (beyond the whole global pandemic part). My wife is having a blast with the garden.

I don't wanna brag I wish everyone could go through this time with as much as I'm getting out of it. :(

Yeah, the biggest hub he's actually tested in is Champaign-Urbana (University of Illinois), which has been having pretty significant infection numbers. The other places are basically rural. But still, 2,000 tests is pretty significant.

https://www.wglt.org/post/antibody-testing-emerges-central-illinois-amid-many-unknowns

quote:

Pliura said less than 3% of the nearly 2,000 antibody tests he's given at his offices in LeRoy, Champaign and Marion show exposure to the coronavirus.

“It makes sense that the penetration of this disease hasn’t been as broad spectrum as they’ve had in some places,” he said, adding having a better understanding of your potential risk of exposure offers at least some peace of mind, though medical professionals are still trying to determine what that immunity means.

Even in a clinical setting, the antibody rate is only like 10%, lmao

quote:

Carle Health System uses Abbott's antibody test, and Banks said Carle's own lab work has verified the tests' accuracy.

What has the testing shown so far? Carle has tested about 150 clinical workers; about 10% show antibodies.

For me, the whole "want a haircut" thing is more "my bangs are in my eyes, it's growing over my ears, and goddamn it I actually have to COMB this poo poo before I go outside rather than it being a fraction of an inch long like God intended." But, y'know, I just deal with it. Looking like a hobo has never been more socially acceptable. I think.
