Wilkes has a 9.1% Postive Rate

According to Pew Research Center 42% of people will not not take the vaccine and almost 50% say they will not be tested.


Why? they don't trust the changing narrative and common sense is kicking it. The vaccine has been rushed or was already created. The evidence now shows that the death rates where manipulated to drive fear.

Exactly. You can expect the rate to be higher because there are people, who for whatever reason, are not tested.

Remember: People are only positive because they were tested.

No it doesn't. That would only be the case if everyone was tested.

So? A positivity rate of over 9% is bad enough.

How tsupid are you to need it higher?

Does anyone disagree with the math,
A 9% positive rate means we have a 91% negative rate.

Who's not living, tbagg?

Oh, yeah. Folks who die from COVID.

You still don't understand the basics of the pandemic. Either willful ignorance or jus the the normal kind.

1048 - Again, covid is not a Trump support issue. Neither is death or simple math or the fact that people die all the time.


Its about life must go on. Its just that simple.

Will we have a vaccine soon, IDK but i hope so but according to the left it should not be taken. So what's the option?

Hide? pray, pretend that somehow its all going away and there won't be some new boogy man when covid goes away?

No, people need to get out and go live.

Once again smonk was correct.

She's been right since day one.

People, don't pay any attention to these Trumpette idots, the virus is real and killing people.

Again a 9% positive rate means we have a 91% negative rate.

smonkey's ratio requires a number that is currently unavailable rendering this result imaginary.

Smonk - several of my family members in NC and in other states have had it and recovered and two people i knew and worked with have passed away. So, i like many others that don't bow to the whims of the masked cult have been personally affected by covid. While those deaths are sad both were older with several health issues and would have likely had the same outcome if they had contracted pneumonia. I am not making light of their loss I'm just stating the obvious.


But you know what.... when you look at the facts that a very similar number of people die each year as have died in the US you begin to realize this is a politicized issue.

Life, commerce, education, marriages, Thanksgiving and everything else will go on. I refuse to allow the lunacy of the left and fear to rule my life. Many people have awakened to what's really going on. Maybe step back for a sec and just think about this and you may too.

When someone you know or love gets covid and either dies or has on going health conditions I know that then and only then will you covid spreaders will finally get it!

It's because of people like the ones on here ganging up making fun etc that we can't beat this!

One more time real slow.

The positivity rate is the ratio of positive cases to the number of tests conducted.

We have a 9% positive rate!

This information is coming from the Harvard Global Health Institute!

The seven-day average positivity rate is calculated by dividing the average of positive tests by the average of total tests conducted over the last seven days. This shows how the situation has changed over time by de-emphasizing daily swings.

That's an indication that the number of cases in the community is growing, and it's a clear signal that we need to take action to slow the spread of COVID-19,"


According to criteria published by WHO in May, a positive rate of less than 5% is one indicator that the epidemic is under control !

I had to change my Doctors appt. because both he and his nurse tested positive for Covid. I ask him for his professional opinion on the subject and his answer was that Covid is real but is politically over blown.

Everything related to covid is slanted to create panic.

This is a non- issue. Life goes on.

Smonk sure made it appear that 9% of the Wilkes population was about to drop dead of the Covids.

That seems a little deceptive to me.

Math was never my strongest subject but if 9.1% tested positive doesn't that mean that 90.9% tested negative?

And it is noteworthy that 10 times out of 11 the medical experts are wrong in their suspicions.
