[QUOTE="GC7, post: 3390191, member: 2455"] So the infected count has gone up and this is generally seen as a bad sign. But if you have testing centers and let people get tested, the counts WILL go up. (conversely, if there are no test kits then the count stays at zero) It doesn't matter which virus or bacteria you test. If it's an airborne pathogen and you have people living together in an area, then yes things do spread because that's the very nature of the pathogen. Most people have an immune system that can handle random airborne pathogens thata are always transmitted among populations (even pre-2020 corona days) So when did "flatten the curve" (for hospital capacity) turn into "stop the spread"? As far as I can tell, the serious cases and deaths in OK have not skyrocketed and our hospitals have capacity. This thing is going to spread, in fact it has been, but I'm not seeing reports of Mercy, Norman Regional, or Integris being inundated. So what the heck is the problem? Why are some of our state leaders trying to fight biology? [/QUOTE]
