NO FANS AT CYCLONE GAMES?

How do testing numbers compare over those weeks? Case numbers alone are misleading. For example, I believe yesterday was a new record for the number of tests done in the state.
No doubt cases are increasing slowly, I'm not arguing that. But just showing positive test numbers isn't reliable.
It’s the positivity rate that you need to look at, in combination with number of cases.
But the positivity rate is also going up in most places. That is NOT good!

I would guess they get enough traffic from: anti-trump, FatStanley and CyTw bait threads to attract the ad revenue coming in.
They've been using and trying those from the beginning. They were throwing all kinds of things at the thing even back to the beginning in China when most people had never heard of the virus. These aren't new.
Well considering getting tested is still a PITA, it's only likely helping mask a greater uptake (evident by % of tests positive).
Example - both my wife and I are having headaches, aches, sore throat, etc and used Testiowa.com today. We both qualified to get tested, but not a single one of the testing locations in Iowa had any openings, even the private ones listed. Our only option is to check back tomorrow using a link they emailed us. Oddly enough, that link just takes you back to the start of the form rather than to a scheduler to find new times.

One of my wife's co-workers just found out that a player on his sons baseball team tested positive. The co-worker is driving his son to Council Bluffs tomorrow because that is the closest they can get a test (they live in Adel).
I mean, do they even have football in Florida anyway?

The best testing. Doing the best testing. Everyone is super jealous of our testing.
I'm one who thinks counting medals in the Olympics is pretty stupid so making a global pandemic into the same thing has been pretty mind blowing.
I'd say a month ago they were testing even asymptomatic people and maybe they should have been saving those tests for later if there is a shortage. I have had two performed and that was in advance of other medical visits. They were required for me to go get. I had no symptoms and felt like it was a waste, They take maybe 2 minutes once you are there on the site for them to do to you, so it has to just be the number of tests available currently or they cannot process the swabs fast enough (equipment or people constraint).

Worst case they declare bankruptcy, but they would all get a bailout before that would happen.
You forget, the United States prints money.
