Not what I said, your conspiracy theory is that the Chinese are the ones who are starting all the hair brained conspiracy theories, which is just another tin foil theory for the weak minded.
As far as the origin of the virus, I put more weight on the US intelligence services than the tweeters and internet know it alls.

So the BB-Plague didn't come from Rats, but some "Top Secret" US or China Lab in 1342?   :happy1: :happy1: :bonk: :bonk: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

I assume you are posting this question for Del, since I more or less agree with you.

so i have a couple questions. st cloud times headlines stated 728 new cases yesterday in the state. so how many tests were administered, which then begs to ask......how many then where negative.

it also said you could get tested by appointment only. so who and how do they determine who gets tested>>> do you have to have a sypmtom of some sort??????? or can any joe schmuck get tested.

and WHERE  are they testing............. numbers can easily be skewed based on where. are they still concentrating on high risk areas? or are these random testing places???????????????????????????????

My understanding is that health providers can offer covid testing to the general public if you are experiencing covid symptoms; you don't have to be health care worker, first responder, etc.  But you do have to have a nurse triage approval to authrorize/order the testing.

However, the fact that they are still only testing "sick" people means the total new cases or percentage positive statistics still do not reflect how widespread the disease might be in the general population.

still doesnt answer the question on how many tests are done on a daily basis which would then tell you how many turned up negative.

if they only did 1000 tests yesterday yea its a high scary percentage, but if they did 5000??????????????????????????????

Those mumbers are provided daily by the MDH. Most of the 2 pm briefings will tell you the number of tests for the previous day.

It is still to hard to draw conclusions because there is not enough random samples.

Testing capacity started to ramp up after April 22 to over 2000 tests per day.  That appears to be trending towards 4-5000, per day now.

April 22-28 had about 10% test positive.  Since then the percent positive has been trending up.

May 4 it was 17% positive on 3300 tests,
May 5 it was 29% positive on 2000 tests,
May 6 it was 14% positive on 5200 tests, and
May 7 it was 18% positive on 4299 tests.

The other story here is that on May 5, anyone with symptoms could be tested - so more sick people got tested - and the percent positive goes up.

But we still have no clue as to how many folks in the general population may test positive without any symptoms.

Word on the street so don't know if it is true so JB will have to verify for us.  I heard that Sanford is teaming up with Marvins to check for Covid at the plant.  Good idea if it is happening.

Hmm. Interesting as I have not heard anything about it. Yet. At least not in Warroad. As for the Trucks Gunner. Some are still running. Just way down on deliveries because many places can't take their orders.

CNN had a segment last night that featured some of my neighbors that have to euthanize over 3000 hogs. This is a catastrophe for many hard working farmers.

That suks.  Why can't they sell them somewhere else or give them away to feed the Homeless? 
Or are they going to get Government compensated for them?

There is no where to have them processed, very few have the skills to home butcher these days. To my knowledge there is no government compensation. More family farms will be gone I fear.

Crazy world we have evolved in to. Prices go sky high for some pork and then we throw some in a hole and bury it.  :scratch:

Wish we were closer. We would buy some off of them. I feel this is something that the Governors of the states should be doing something to help figure something out. I know plenty of people that can process a deer. The certainly can process a hog too. It is not that hard.

I have friends and friends of friends that have big hog farms in the SW corner of the state.  I thought of going down and getting one but that is a big job and a long ways to go.  I bet the butchers down there are busy as can be.  I will ask a buddy down there about it today.

When I go down to see my parents or my friends sometimes I call the butcher shop and get a half hog butchered so it is all frozen and ready to go when I get there.  Good meat too. 

It is different now cuz I would have no place to stay when there.  My buddy is in marginal health so is hunkered down so can't stay there or even visit.

My buddy just texted me back that the butchers are real busy.  Cattle too have to get butchered cuz the big plants don't want them after they get too heavy.  Man that all makes me hungry so I am having sausage and eggs for breakfast.  I could get a half hog in my freezer too.  If I got a great deal on one I could mayhaps talk the wife into it.  ????

With all the farmers and Hunters that know how to butcher it's odd no one has started a save the hog for food drive yet?  :confused:
