They haven't put it on the State official Covid site, but Gov. Abbott said we have 5,000 cases today, an all-time single day high.
There were over 5000 positive tests. The CDC issued a special waiver to allow PCR tests to be used for wuhan tests. PCR was never meant to diagnose disease and does not test for the virus but for a snippet of RNA thought to be from the virus. Amplify the sample enough times, and they do, you get a positive result.
They shouldn't call positive tests "cases." Most of those who tested positive (from a flawed testing model) aren't ill, are not hospitalized, and are not going to die. An increase of positive tests was bound to happen when people who depressed their immune system by staying at home and obsessively disinfecting everything inside ventured out. Those who wear masks and decrease their intake of O2 and rebreathe CO2 and their own flora also depress their immune system. They too be will more susceptible to infection.
The virus cannot be stopped by ineffective masks and voodoo magic six feet social distance and cannot be spread by asymptomatic people.
We know who the vulnerable are. 99.7% survive what is just another respiratory virus.
There won't be a vaccine because there has never been a successful vaccine for a retrovirus. Look at Fauci's failure to make an HIV vaccine for that retrovirus. All of the vaccines in development are cutting corners on the clinical trials and using techniques that have never been used before. Most of these companies have never brought a single product to market. Think about that.
This virus will attenuate. What we are witnessing with the increase in testing numbers is herd immunity that was delayed by the lockdowns.
