"It’s not about being sick: Why we need to test more healthy people to beat this virus
States are opening up, people are welcoming summer in large crowds at the beach, in the pool and in parks. The problem with this rushed return to life-as-usual: We don’t know who in crowded places is passing the coronavirus to others. Evidence now shows nearly half of the spread of COVID-19 is from people with no symptoms – people who feel fine, and don’t know they are infected. Finding them and controlling the disease demands drastically increasing testing of healthy people—and no state is currently doing enough of that." - HGHI
Where is that quote from? Harvard Global Health Institute? I can't find the actual quote anywhere. Do you have a link?

So was this a fake quote or are you just refusing to answer?

35% of today's reported cases are from 18-29 age group. 9% of hospitalizations from that age group.

According to the AJC:

Amid Georgia’s new surge in coronavirus cases, the increased demand for testing is straining the state’s infrastructure, leading to longer waits in some places and complaints from residents of delayed results.

Plus, many of the government testing sites are shutting down Friday to Sunday.

PLEASE DON'T GET A TEST UNLESS YOU REALLY THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE COVID!!!

Save the testing resources for people who need it.

Also from the Atlanta Journal and Constitution:

Julie Puckett, who lives in Marietta, said she sought a test last week after developing fever, a severe cough and other symptoms consistent with the virus. Puckett is immunocompromised and has guarded against exposure.
Puckett said she tried to book an appointment at her local health department, but none were available for a week. She waited in a long line of cars outside an urgent care before being turned away when she learned she needed an appointment. She returned early the next morning, but all the slots were quickly taken.
Puckett said she tried the same urgent care the following morning and secured a reservation only to be turned away after the facility said it was done testing for the day.
“It started to be a Sisyphean episode when I never get tested and keep waiting and waiting,” she said. On Sunday, Puckett said she secured an appointment at a CVS drive-thru and got a test, but as of Wednesday morning was still awaiting results.

New strain is much more easily spread - up to 10x more infectious.

re: brazen2

Some bad news today - AZ, FL, TX each hit a new high in the 7 day average of daily deaths. The absolute numbers are still low, but the way this disease works is a long grind once a trend starts.

That said, the US had its second lowest number of the downside of the slope yesterday. So that's good.

The world hit a new cyclical low.

I have to expect, given the very high case counts in those very populous, urban states, that the good news on deaths is probably over in this country, and we'll start climbing up a new grim curve. Maybe July 2 was the start of it.

Clearly the rush to force mask usage in red states suggests health officials are screaming at Republican governors that their states are in big trouble.

Oh good.

Is this the legendary second wave that somehow everyone agrees is coming although they can't tell us why and the first one never seems to go away?

That’s interesting. I live close to her. I’ve been tested several times and never had an issue. Scheduled an appt this Wednesday. Got an appt for Thursday. Got my results (negative!) 40 minutes later.

Others think everything is about the J*ws.

Don't worry, Giles. Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean THEY aren't out to get you.

That's interesting too. I have a few questions if you don't mind.

Do you know what kind of test it was? (Abbot ID or other rapid test?)

Why did you decide to get tested?

Are you ever near others in enclosed spaces?
