Over 200,000 tests with 11,000 positive cases and 1 hospitalizations so far...

That is great news. I think most have known for quite some time that the students would not be high risk for having a bad case of the virus. The issue is the faculty and staff at the universities. The professors and staff are considerably older and at a much higher risk.

My takeaway is that 200,000 students have been tested and the % positive is 5.5 but somehow in Richland County the % positive last week was around 40.

Wake up people. SCDHEC is a lying, corrupt agency that is purposely misleading the citizens of SC to peddle fear and make everyone believe Covid is out of control in our state. It isn't.

Not sure what you're talking about? Other than just throwing out numbers that are completely untrue. UofSC had a positive rate of 17.3% last week. Here's a link to the dashboard if you don't believe me https://sc.edu/safety/coronavirus/d...EtHjcWVkDz-iEPSdhte8Amng5o5G2YiTvHm50DQGsSotQ
Richland County had 1528 new positives last week. So, by you're BS 40% crap, they only had 3820 tests? There were 4223 tests at UofSC last week alone. So, I guess there were negative 403 tests taken in the rest of Richland County last week. Makes sense.
 
@CU91ENGR we actually agree that the focus should be on protecting older professors and older staff and community members. That’s why so many classes are online and Clemson has spent millions in adapting its classrooms for social distancing where in person learning is going to occur.

The numbers look very very good for those 55 and younger in good health and not just students 18-22. But if a professor is 60 and in poor health they should be and are allowed to give lectures online.

What I do not agree with is the sensationalist reporting of positive cases without acknowledging hospitalizations are dropping and these students are not getting seriously ill.

I also think the punishments being given out at some schools are draconian.

SC reports twice as many deaths per million residents than NC. But yea, SC is well under control.

SCDHEC reporting is so corrupt and rotten I can smell it in Georgia. How many negative test did they not report? 30,000

While I don't always agree with CU91ENGR, he simply countered exaggerated numbers with current facts and basic math. I'd have done the same thing. We can debate the accuracy of DHEC's numbers. But basic math is basic math.

What's really fvckin' embarrassing your constant posts that add nothing to a thread. We got it. You think COVID is political. So do I. Give it a rest. It's football season.

No it’s Covid season. You give it a rest. DHEC misreports data

DEHC is full of liberal employees. I have a good friend that works for them. He says he is one of only a few conservatives and estimates it to be 95% liberals. Of course they are misreporting data.

You are aware that multiple hospitals and labs have told WYFF that they were told by SC DHEC to only report positive tests since March 26th???????????

OK, so show me a report that says Richland Cty. reported 40% positive last week. Because it doesn't exist, except for in the minds of those that make it up.

LMAO...so in a state that is approximately 60% republican, the SCDHEC managed to hire 95% Democrats. Are you really this ignorant? I bet it's a question on the job application: are you a Democrat...if not, no need to apply. Go crawl back under you rock in BFE Georgia.

I'm not home right now but when I get there I'll follow up with some info for you.

Basically, if you go to the USC dashboard for the week you will see about 12,000 tests done and like 1500 positives. Then if you look at Richland County for that week they only reported 3500 tests performed but all the positives are counted.

I'm not just making stuff up.

I'll help you out a little. Here's the SCDHEC link to county testing. Richland County shows 17.1% positivity rate last week. Not 40%. You have to click on Richland County and change the dates to last week. https://www.scdhec.gov/infectious-d...-19/south-carolina-county-level-data-covid-19

Life expectancy in the USA is age 78. Median age of Deaths from Covid-19 in SC is 78. Is this disease killing anyone? Seriously doesn’t look like it. This is the biggest hoax ever played on the American public!

Age of Covid-19 deaths in SC according to DHEC.

What are you looking at?

Week ending Aug. 29th the positivity rate was 37.1%

The last week Richland was even below 17.1% was the week ending June 27th.

Further, their positivity rate since this began is 20.8%

I think you should check your numbers.

Anyway, these pictures should tell you all you need to know about what DHEC is doing.

Here you go: from 8/25-8-31 DHEC reported 3334 tests run in Richland County and a 40% positivity rate. Well, according to the USC dashboard, they ran 5,000 tests just on campus from 8/26 to 8/31.

For August, DHEC reports just over 15,000 tests for Richland County, which means the test rate is around 27 tests per 1000 people, which is just below the state average of 34. Makes perfect sense until you notice that USC ran 12,000 tests in August just on campus. Those numbers aren't reported anywhere. But you can bet they reported the 1100+ cases that USC had just from 8/26-8/31.

Ouch @CU91ENGR wont be back to this thread lol

Does that stat not give you pause? Why would there be such a discrepancy? Could it be the way cases are reported
