It is just inexcusable that we are still having all these testing problems.

Well, it appears that we are going to be switching most testing now to antigen tests which are not as accurate (false negative bias) but much more timely. We will see how that goes in the numbers over the next few weeks.

I would have agreed, back in July. Testing is in much better shape. 75% of tests are done by Sonora Quest. There are only 2 PCR tests pending > 3 days. The turnaround time is less than 1 day from receipt.

Well, that did not take long (apparently). In today's reporat, just a couple weeks after letting up on the bars and gyms and recreation etc, we are back over 1000 cases and 10% positive. Universities? Schools? Two week old test results?

I kinda figured we'd see a bump once things started opening back up. My hope is that people will adhere to the safety protocols and realize it is not over yet. Hopefully soon, but not yet.

Bars already being shut down for not adhering. ASU students party harder than the more polished U of A where Revenge of Nerds was filmed.

Over 800 ASU students tested positive. Not really alot considering how big the campus is but tests have a 48-72 hour turnaround time now so my guess is that its the college students. My kids have been in school for almost a month now and no documented Covid cases.
