DHEC COVID19 Update (it’s not good)
- Thread starter AustinTiger77
- Start date
I’ll weigh in. Not me but my live in girlfriend is. She works in two restaurants. Under take out only restrictions one place pooled all the tips that they got and divided it up among all the severs. The other place just kept it for themselves. She was making more or less the same on unemployment.
Restaurants at 50% capacity she’s still making about the same she did or a little more per shift. The wait staff is cut in half so it makes sense. People have generally been much more generous with tips.

Sorry I didn’t realize you were such a sensitive little snowflake, i’ll be sure to put a trigger warning on my posts going forward for you.
This post didn’t trigger me. It’s the totality of your social posts. You’re just not a good dude tbh. An antagonist only.
Don’t worry about me. I can take it.
Last year was around 186 pediatric flu deaths. (Maybe that is 17 and under)
In South Carolina, there were around 300 pediatric flu hospitalizations. No idea how that compares or whatever, and don't really care a ton.
Nobody truly knows anything about a "Flu death rate". I've never been tested for the flu and am sure I've had the flu. I would bet that anything flu related is just an estimate.
To do what exactly? Because at first we were told to "flatten the curve" as it related to deaths....as soon as we did that and deaths plummeted we started testing more people and then lost our minds when positives cases went up (shocker). Now we're being told we can't get back to normal until cases go down. So excuse me if I don't believe a single word that comes from any parties recommending anything as it relates to coronavirus.
Whether you want to admit it or not, if Obama was in office right now and up for a second term the narrative would be all about how we've flattened the curve and positive cases are only going up because testing has increased and there is nothing to be alarmed about. Instead, the MSM hates our President and will do anything in it's power to spread fear & hate to suppress what's been built over the last 3-4 years.
I will be going to OIB in a couple of weeks..Where does she work? i will make sure I
It still is!
I put him on ignore a while back after weeks of his shrieking and hand wringing. It has been worth it.
Bingo. And if all this works and Biden is elected, you will almost immediately see the narrative switch so they can claim Biden instituted a plan that brought Covid under control and got the economy back on track.
I've asked before how I could ignore his normal posts while still seeing the 'Thoughts (Long)' posts. Apparently not doable and I hate to use the ignore feature anyway. But, it is tough to read the other drivel. The type person that I would never let walk into my thoughts with his muddy feet, as one wise man said.
Well, NY was getting around 50% positivity rate back in April. They were not doing a lot of tests as they were reserved for probable cases.
Now they are testing 60,000/day and it is random for the most part.
SC is testing about 8,000/day and obviously those tests are being done for probable cases or people exposed to covid.
Would it make you feel better if SC tested 25,000/day and we had 500 more cases but the positivity was less than 10%?
I'm not saying the numbers are good in SC but some perspective is needed.
John Hopkins reports overall new death rate is down 17%, but also reporting that new positives up 19% in SC
Not fair. You are cheating. Please do not use logic in arguments, it ruins the rant.
Yes. We need to be testing way more. And they all need to be rapid turnaround. 15 - 20 mins. This article from the LA Times showcases the failure here in California to put together a competent testing regimen. The experience has been similar elsewhere.https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-07-12/california-fail-coronavirus-testing-covid-start
14% of what? Cases? Positives? Does it include those who just self isolate for 10 days?
For starters, NY and SC are at very different stages of the outbreak, and have different populations infected. SC is now where NYC was in late March/April, but the testing is better (well, maybe- at least more people are getting tested/tests are more readily available) now that back then. Because it showed up in SC later, you have the benefit of NY's mistakes: better idea for how to handle the elderly/SNF patients, and of course- better treatments. More testing means people getting treatment earlier.
14% of the patients current hospitalized in SC are for COVID. He's saying that's not a big deal, because there's a lot of space available. He thinks this because he doesn't know how hospitals work.
It's not really logical. NY is two months ahead of SC. They brought the shit here.
SC is up because of increased testing and the virus just arriving in force a few weeks ago. Not because they are doing a worse job of it than NY.
Seems pretty easy to see, but when all you want to do is blame Trump, easy stuff gets harder.
Have 4 children (11, 8, 6, 3) and the 8 year old tested positive Friday last week w symptoms starting Thursday morning. We came home for NMB on Monday.
Friday the wife started having symptoms.
Last Night (Sunday) the 3 year old start a fever.
Good thing is the 8 year old had already kicked the symptoms by Sunday morning and wife is having less of a headache today.
My 11 was off at camp until Saturday afternoon. He feels fine right now. I feel fine (I slept in the bed w 8 year old before taking for testing. Also had 3 year old w me last night when the fever hit.)
I will update over the next few days. I would say we have very little sickness in our house. Maybe 1 antibiotic in the last 2 years between all of us. I do not see the need to go get everyone tested. Maybe I'm wrong, but what is the point now that we know if is running through the house.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the virus. Hoping for the best for you and your family & look forward to hearing more- especially the "all clear" message.
Yes. The virus reached SC in full force after we opened up.
That's why the whole shutdown thing was so stupid in SC back in March when nobody had it.
And perhaps why it was not a smart move to reopen so quickly/prematurely. Same deal in TX
Look man, if we tested more the cases would be higher and people such as yourself would freak out and scream "the cases are rising, the cases are rising" while ignoring the positivity rate decreasing.
This thing will begin to decline once the virus makes it way through enough of the population. Hunkering down will only prolong the process.
What exactly does Trump have to do with the difference between how SC and NY handled the response? Everything is not about Trump. Stop looking for ghosts.
Nice revisionist history.
Dr. Fauci was praising SC and wanted to use us a model for everyone else back in early May. Even he said we were ready to open.
You remember that?
But my bigger point is that its disingenuous for people to say that people aren't as careful in SC as they are in another state. There's no way that's true. We are also much more isolated than other states just by our way of life. It's a community spread deal going on.
@dbjork6317
Explain this. Stop acting like SC opened too soon.
To that end, Fauci agreed South Carolina's response so far as it moves toward reopening has been optimal, with Gov. Henry McMaster and state leaders preparing to lift the last of the state's major virus-related restrictions next week.
"You've put things in place that I think would optimize your capability of reopening," Fauci told Scott. "I was thinking as you were speaking I'd almost want to clone that, and make sure other people hear about that and see what you've been doing."

Because that's your company line. And SC is a red state, so obviously we are handling it poorly because of Trump's lack of leadership. I've read it at least 1,000 times on this board.
LOL at ghosts.
The point was, you think the dude you quoted was correct in his conclusion that NY was trending down compared to SC based on testing numbers, so they were handling it better than us. But it's apples and oranges.
Dear NY.
You have 4 times the population of SC. Yet you have 8 times the number of cases. You also have 32 times the number of deaths as SC. So whose death rate is higher? If you didn't have another case going forward, and we have the same number of daily cases going forward, it'd take 243 days for us to catch up to you. How your state has handled this is criminal.
So NY, let me end this by saying. shut the F up.
BTW, NJ and MA, shut the F up as well. Your number aren't any better.
Is this the thread where I can find credible evidence that giants existed ??
We’ll just let it slide until you reach the 15’ marker.
Would it be possible to start reporting the people who were asymptomatic Or had very mild at the time of testing?
Seems to be the majority of cases meet this requirement. I get it can change, but seems that could help with the idea of how concerned to be over the cases.
