    What is inaccurate in this chart?

    Read this again and comprehend it this time -- "Your expectation that we should continue debunking the data on chart after chart from a source that has already been proven to provide fake data.... is laughable. We are done debunking charts from your Twitter and Blogger COVID denier sources -- go get information from respectable mainstream sources if you want to have any believability."

    What is wrong with you using charts from respectable mainstream sources? Watch Tsing Tao not answer the question.

    Because it is a respectable source to me. You don't get to be the authority on respectable sources, since you're about as respectable as your average con-man.

    So you can't debunk the chart, right?

    COVID-deniers appear to always be a "respectable" source to you.

    There are many reasons why Texas hospitalizations and infections number are dropping.

    First, hospitalizations are declining in many states of the United States. The interesting numbers are the number of infections.

    The one key variable that many Covidiots do not want to talk about Texas...
    • Texas has dramatically dropped their administer number of tests for Covid.
    Simply, there's a huge drop in the demand for testing. Another way to look at it...there are more people walking around that are Covid positive but due to the drop in the number of testing...

    Texas is cleverly showing a huge decline in positive infections.

    Reminder - Trump openly made the bonehead statement at a press conference that if we stop testing for Covid...our numbers will be declining (low) in comparison to other countries. Trump administration understood that the formula for calculating the positivity rate of Covid is dependent upon the number of tests that has been administered. :D

    I'll dumb it down for the Covidiots you're debating with...pretend your state does 30% LESS testing after the governor orders face masks no longer require. There will be a sudden drop in the number of positive Covid infections.

    Your Covid infection numbers will dramatically drop because of less testing...not because of natural herd immunity and not because there's no face mask mandates.

    By the way, there are less Covid testing sites in Texas in comparison to prior the governor removing the face mask mandates and opening up the state.

    ----------

    ....Experts point out that vaccination is ramping up, many businesses are still requiring masks and there are unique factors impacting individual metrics — like a drop in demand for testing that is driving down raw case numbers....

    It will be interesting to see next month's data to see if the number of administer tests for Covid has continue to decline in correlation with the declining number of people testing positive for Covid.

    :D

    I was doing taxes on an old computer and saw response from a part time troll.
    Since it included data I will provide a reasonable response.

    1. Yes far fewer people get tested when fewer people have covid. Because for every person who tests positive there will be others who either must be tested or desire to be tested.

    More infections beget more testing.
    That is natural.

    What is unnatural is the conjecture WRB provided...

    "Another way to look at it...there are more people walking around that are Covid positive but due to the drop in the number of testing..."Texas is cleverly showing a huge decline in positive infections.

    How do we know that wrb's conjecture about more people walking around Covid positive is very unlikely to be true?

    It was in his article...

    the percent positive for testing is approximately the same as it was at the time of the termination of the mask mandate right near all time lows. (looking at the chart.)

    If there were plenty of people walking around positive as wrb claimed.... we would expect the percent positives to spike up as testing goes down... because the ratio of symptomatic seeking medical care to random test taking is like to change dramatically.

    When they present facts that cannot be debated, yes, they do.

    But the people promoting...what was it you said? Demon Sperm? Or saying COVID was caused by 5G?

    I never supported those statements, despite you claiming I did. And despite me asking for proof of me supporting those statements after your accusations (which you never gave a single example of).

    If you promote nonsense from COVID Deniers than you accept all the crap they pushy... including their idiocy regarding demon sperm and 5G. You do not get to pick and choose which parts of bat-shiat insane sources you support. It is all or none. Otherwise don't try to cite them as a respectable, factual source.
