Number of cases are irrelevant, just means more people are getting tested.

It's sad that so many people don't understand that as you increase testing you get higher numbers, you have to look at the percentage of of positive to to tests, if that is going up then get back to me.

Also if you aren't increasing in Hospitalizations or finding people who formally tested negative it doesn't mean shit. It only proves that this damn virus has either been been here way longer or lock downs don't work because the tests don't tell you when you got the virus.

Agreed. This thing is burning itself out. If you didn’t live in LA, Washington or the northeast you had a diff reality. My friend in Oklahoma stayed isolated and protected himself but he said it was never a big deal down there.

The stats are disingenuous anyway bc they usually show cumulative cases vs active ones, death and hospitalizations, all of which have been falling.

Two of Texas' biggest cities are reporting an uptick in COVID-19 cases over the past several days as concerns mount over how protests sparked by the death of George Floyd may be increasing the spread of the virus.

Dallas County announced an additional 298 positive cases of the novel coronavirus on Friday, according to Dallas County Health and Human Services, bringing the total number of cases in the county to 11,541. Meanwhile, the city of Houston, in Harris County, announced there were 180 new cases on Thursday, bringing the total number of cases in the city to 8,231. There have been over 13,600 cases in Harris County, most in the state.
