    FYI. Most gyms are having members sign waivers saying they cannot be held liable. I know YMCA and golds have done such

    So has threshold, or so I'm assuming cause they had us sign a new waiver upon coming back.

    Wasn’t sure where to post this and keep in mind companies can claim anything before released the proof will be at the time they get approval and release it. At least its encouraging but must be tempered:

    California biopharmaceutical company claims coronavirus antibody breakthrough
    Perry Chiaramonte By Perry Chiaramonte | Fox News

    EXCLUSIVE — A California-based biopharmaceutical company claims to have discovered an antibody that could shield the human body from the coronavirus and flush it out of a person’s system within four days, Fox News has exclusively learned.

    Later Friday, Sorrento Therapeutics will announce their discovery of the STI-1499 antibody, which the San Diego company said can provide "100% inhibition" of COVID-19, adding that a treatment could be available months before a vaccine hits the market.

    "We want to emphasize there is a cure. There is a solution that works 100 percent," Dr. Henry Ji, founder and CEO of Sorrento Therapeutics, told Fox News. "If we have the neutralizing antibody in your body, you don't need the social distancing. You can open up a society without fear."

    That's a preclinical trial. Waaaaaaay too early to say that this is a cure. Just because it kills the virus in a petri dish doesn't mean it'll work in the human body. A gun kills the virus in a petri dish. So too does bleach. Doesn't mean they're cures.

    Yes but a gun and bleach will definitely kill the human host...I would like to think whatever drug they are proposing has at least moved beyond those options in that it’s presumed safe for human consumption at this point in the trial.

    The company should have used more cautious, less sensational claims. At this early stage, it sounds too good to be true.

    another day over 100 cases a day. That makes 4 in a row now. Not seeing how this is good. Are we now getting the back opening numbers? Is this the most cases we have had in a 4 day period for a while?

    Yeah, and I wonder how many of those are hospitalized in Texas, thus not showing up in OK's numbers.

    Some good links:

    This one has amount of beds, ICU data, daily and over time data. Projections data

    https://covid19.healthdata.org/unite...erica/oklahoma

    This one shows if we are increasing or declining in spread:

    I would guess that it’s a function of the number of tests being performed going up since the opening numbers were generated more so than returning to the opening infection rate.

    This is where the total number of tests adds important context. Yes, we're finding more cases but we're also testing a whole lot more. Our positivity rate for the day decreased again to well below 4%, much lower than yesterday as we did almost double the number of tests compared to yesterday. The overall positivity trend continues to decrease to well below half the 10% recommended by the CDC

    The biggest takeaway is that thus far, there has not been any type of spike, which is good news.

    Hopefully that holds up.

    It helps that OK is less dense and we'll see if bigger cities hold the line over the next several weeks.

    Taking 1 number out of context can do that to you...

    Keep in mind they’re reporting way more completed test results. For instance April 13 had 2013 test results reported. May 13 had 5584. So since the positives haven’t more than doubled it is a good thing.

    How can people not understand that more testing is going to mean more positives and that alone is not a bad thing?

    Georgia is still looking good and they had a week head start on everyone. But on the other hand, Texas positives is steadily going up. Not sure how much increase in testing they have had.

    Also, Recoveries are higher than the amount of positives.

    That is also a good thing.

    And eventually these cases from Texas county are going to subside. We saw this in South Dakota, one meat processing plant spiked their numbers, they started testing heavily, and then their numbers came down.

    Texas' positivity rate is a hair north of 5%, roughly the same as ours

    Every. Single. Day. We have to keep going through the exact same conversation. Every. Single. Day. And usually with the same people.

    True. I for one have done it for the last time. The data is looking good in OK. I can see that and I’m not going to defend it anymore.
