When you first see that increase in test positivity, that is when to start the mitigation efforts, Birx said in the recording. I know it may look small and you may say, That only went from 5 to 5-and-a-half [percent], and were gonna wait and see what happens. If you wait another three or four or even five days, youll start to see a dramatic increase in cases.
Hey Doc ... how about if your boss helped out the states more with funding for tests, stop pressuring schools and businesses to physically open up, and health care for struggling low income families?

Your are as complicit in this as your asshole boss...btw looking adoringly on as the orange maggot suggests injecting bleach as a possible covid cure-all was horrifying

When Texas went from 4 to 15?
And she's lecturing about a city going from 5 to 5.5.
This seems a willful distraction to the disaster that is hitting the "warm weather" south where this wasn't supposed to happen.
She has become nothing more than a political shill.

(77,277 posts)Well, let's be honest, I'd be glad to be retired anyway, but I get what you mean.
If I had reacted to the trivial while doing nothing about the major, I wouldn't have spent my career at 2 places.
I would have bounced around looking for somewhere to not be exposed.
Then, this twit takes a high profile gig to expose herself! Go figure.
