I haven’t been to this website in months, so I wanted to see if it was still active or not. It is still limping along on its final breaths of the “pandemic”.
First off, notice the very few number of people being tested.
1961 tests given nationwide at Walgreens. With a 24% positivity rate. That would mean that out of appx 2,000 people tested, a little less than 500 tested positive. But to the layman covid fear propagation committee, the “we are still at 24.8% positivity” sounds like a super scary number! Fear porn.
The second part that I found most entertaining was the states in BOLD RED….where “cases are rising”. Well, lets have a look at those. I will show you Oregon, Texas, and Colorado.
Texas did 332 tests with 22.6% positive. 73 positive tests. But ohhhhhh that is a 2.8% rise from the week before you YOU get a RED zone Texas.
Colorado is even more ridiculous. They tested 39 people. THIRTY NINE PEOPLE. 10 people tested positive, which is 14% higher than the week before when 10% of the 37 people tested were positive. RED ZONE FOR YOU COLORADO.
And finally here is Oregon. 17 people tested, roughly 1.87 people(s) tested positive to give a positivity rate of 11.8%. But that is a 6.5% increase from the week before so RED TAG ON OREGON.
I cannot even with these numbers. I hope this tracking site whimpers into its last gasp of existence here soon because this is just laughable at this point. I was shocked it was even still online and tracking.
Great analysis. One of my favorite courses was statistics and I’ve spent the covid years pointing out how all these scary metrics are being manipulated. For example our county has a population over 250k. When they compare cases weekly that can seem scary but if you consider total population it was never even 1% affected at any one time. We still have our county’s covid site up but the last update was at the end of May with most days under 10 cases. Since last Oct the highest case day was in January, 150 cases, well below even 1%. Perhaps they are keeping these active and ready to report increasing covid for their fall vaccine campaign.
Walgreens, CVS - big players in the fraud. I can't even walk into one of those stores. Peace.
