Presumed recovered is 74,246 (66%), so 38,727 active cases...by these numbers. If all of those self-isolate, and if people keep wearing masks and social distancing like I am seeing now...although not 100% perfect...then in 2 weeks this sucker should be kicked to the curb! Right?
BTW, at the Walmart on Hwy 28 in Alex they have the one entry/exit set-up still with a security guard stopping people w/o masks. But, he just talks to them, does not provide a mask, and allows them to enter the store. I suppose it's like having a "Beware of Dog" sign on your fence, the mere presence of a threat should be enough to deter "wrong-doers." I didn't see anyone turn around and not enter the store, though. So...
As long as the idiots you see in Walmart and large stores continue to shop in herds with dirty masks dangling around their necks, nothing will change for the better. We'll never be able to have large crowd gatherings until they find a vaccine/cure for this crap.Quote:

False positives probably.Quote:

Average of a little over 10 per day. This isn't much different than the first part of July, maybe a little higher. Also don't know if some backlogged results had been reported which has been the case a few times before. The additional 4 deaths of the same time period is troubling. Also, Lincoln appears to have a lower positivity rate than other parishes (662/11828 = 5.6%).Quote:

Does anyone have information about the possibility of re-infection after having Covid?
It is unknown. There are anecdotes of people getting COVID twice, but it is possible that it was a second flare up of the same infection.Quote:
