Springfield Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Good morning fam. Encouraging news from VA (in my untrained opinion). The R0 rate is now BELOW 1.0! This is good. Hopefully, if we stay this course then positivity will start to drop off. https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/content/uploads/sites/182/2020/07/UVA-COVID-19-Model-Weekly-Report-2020-07-31.pdf 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearrock Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I have a concern about the testing. From @TryTheBeal!'s experience, they have patients self collect the sample, which seems problematic to this lay person (but I guess that's okay?). Also, he has to wait 8-10 days for the results (wtf?). How many people are foregoing getting a test unless their symptoms are pretty bad given that it will be more than a week until the result comes back? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hand you a simple kit via the drive-thru window and talk you through it right there in the car. I could see this being difficult if you were trying to, say...test your 8 year old triplets, but for an adult it’s easy. The 6-10 day deal feels like a CYA. The young lady who assisted me slipped an “urgent” card in my bag because she had a surplus of them and told me to expect my results much sooner. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many people are foregoing getting a test unless their symptoms are pretty bad given that it will be more than a week until the result comes back? I also have a concern about testing. My wife was feeling under the weather a week or so ago (persistent cough, lack of energy, stomach issues). She called the primary care doctor, they told her to go to CVS. She checked with CVS and there were none that could test her the same day except in Maryland. So she just didn’t get tested and was feeling better a day to two later. Its a shame that Donald Trump is our president. A better leader could have formulated a better way to get tested, and expedite the test results. The fact that 4 months later and it’s still a pain in the ass to get tested is inexcusable. I place the blame on the lack of testing squarely on the shoulders of our president. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purbeast Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Not sure where everyone is at, but in MD I got my test at an Adventist Health walk in clinic. They are all over around Montgomery and PG county. I went in for something else and they asked if I wanted the covid test and I just did it since I was there and wasn't sure what was wrong. I had my results 3 days later. My coworker just got the test a couple days ago as well and said it couldn't have been easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that’s a little unfair. His enablers deserve some of the blame as well. Also, his dip**** offspring and son in law. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) Now that sports are "back" seeing tv commercials more regularly again. Am I the only one that wishes there were more people wearing masks in commercials? Please stop helping us through these "trying times" while your paid actors are still acting like it's pre-March 2020.

I see with more than not, unless it's an older commercial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, I can't tell how many of these are replays, but just saw a home depot commercial with everyone outside building a house together with no masks. A company that requires masks before allowing anyone into their stores now. It doesn't make sense from a consistency standpoint, and we really need that right now. A lot of the protest commercials are doing it, but I sense a lot of private sector is caught on how to make new ads right now, that's why we still see any old ones.

I agree, but its also discouraging that we are now at the point where we have to say "you look badass" to convince someone to wear a mask. Nothing about the health benefits......just "you look badass...." God, this country is so juvenile. Its getting increasingly difficult to care. I'm not sure if this has been posted, but saw this one on Twitter from Las Vegas: A grown ass adult is comparing kids being home from school to solitary confinement. And the guy probably usually complains that the schools that are so vital to open are teaching our children to be godless commies. God, we are dumb.

Simmsy Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 1. How long until Dumbo decides to copy Australia and send federal troops out in the streets of "blue" cities to stop the spread of covid? 2. At this point, I can't argue anymore, I don't have it in me . If you want to send your kid to school, knowing all of the possibilities of what could happen during a pandemic, then I can't feel sorry for you if your child gets sick and dies. All I can hope for is that your child had a painless death with no suffering and you have to live the rest of your life knowing that you failed as a parent. I'll give you my initial sympathies, but you will not be labeled a victim by me. Granted, I won't rub it in, but you should know your stupidity killed your child.

This has to be a Brooks Brothers Riot situation. You telling me there's a protest of Trump supporters and 95% wore masks? GTFOH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
