Two weeks after ending lockdown, Texas sees surge in cases

[Flash]

IT CLEARLY WASN'T JUST A ONE DAY EVENT:

The OP was about a single day event:

Now you are wanting to argue about upward trends since re-opening. We can do that, but quit claiming that a single-day 2000 case surge is proof that the average number of cases is higher. They are two different arguments.

 

[LV426]

Yes, agreed. But the argument was not about whether the average number of cases are higher, but that the 2000 cases surge on May 15 was indicative of the number of cases since the re-opening.

But May 15th wasn't the only day that saw a surge, Flash.

Can you read a chart?

 

[LV426]

Not completely the case. If the daily number of new cases was anywhere near 2000 then it would indeed be a "surge."

OK, so I see what you're doing.

You're applying your subjective judgment to what constitutes "a surge" in a pathetic act of sophistry.

You have set a standard, post-hoc, of what "surge" means. And you shift those goalposts and parameters as you subjectively judge what a surge is according to a standard you just invented on the spot.

I would consider a "surge" anything that was higher than it was before.

And the data CLEARLY SHOWS that since re-opening on April 27th, Texas has seen a surge in new cases. JUST LIKE I SAID THEY WOULD.

The pre-reopening daily average was what, Flash?

The post-reopening daily average is what, Flash?

If the average post-reopening is higher than the average pre-reopening, that would indicate what?

What a pathetic act of bad faith.

IT CLEARLY WASN'T JUST A ONE DAY EVENT:

How many days after April 27th did it take for the new case count to surpass the pre-opening high?

Two days to April 29. That was long before the single day high of 2012 from the OP. So, if the surge was not until May 15, how was the increase on April 29 part of that surge since the average number of daily cases since re-opening was 1099 and dropping down to 979 in the last 5? The one-day surge was an abnormal day far higher than the daily average since April 27.

The increased average since re-opening would have occurred without that single day surge, so it is not relevant to that argument.

Yeah, which at the time was true, and now it continues to be true as the case count remains much higher than it was before re-opening!

Jesus fucking Christ, you are so steeped in bad faith because you don't know any other way to act.

For the EIGHTH TIME:

Ah, but between April 29th and May 12th, what was the average daily new case count?

 

[LV426]

So, if the surge was not until May 15, how was the increase on April 29 part of that surge since the average number of daily cases since re-opening was 1099 and dropping down to 979 in the last 5.

It was part of that surge because not everyone who gets tested shows symptoms, FLASH.

Jesus fucking Christ.

Two days after re-opening, new case count surges, and then the average case count increases by how much above the pre-reopening case count?

That's the story.

But May 15th wasn't the only day that saw a surge, Flash.

Agreed, so that one-day surge does not really mean anything since it is not representative of the daily number of new cases or the increased average since re-opening. It is just a single-day anomaly caused by the 700 meat packers.

 

[LV426]

The one-day surge was an abnormal day far higher than the daily average since April 27.

But since April 27th, was the case count higher or lower than before April 27th? Remember, there was a large one-day surge in Early April too.

The surge to 2000 was within the context of the overall surge that happened post-reopening.

I've asked you how many times now, what was the average daily case count pre-reopening vs. post-reopening. You still don't want to do that work because you know what it will show, and you're lazy.

I already posted that data. Whether the new case count has been higher since re-opening was never a point I was arguing.

If I wanted to argue that point I would use those states that have seen declines.

No comment about having eating inside a restaurant since the shutdown?

No, it was not within that context since it was clearly outside the average number of cases after re-opening. The average number of cases could have remained the same or increased or decreased with that single day deviation. I already posted the data for the averages.
