Bandera County website removes probables and pendings from the count. Bandera was exempt for the slave mask, then the numbers "skyrocketed" to 22 and the Karens rejoiced. Looks like they were keeping the numbers inflated. With the readjustment, there are just THREE active cases.
Kerr and Bandera counties are fighting back and reporting more accurate data. I'm going to check this afternoon to see if the state website is corrected or this is just at the local level.
@tinker That graphic gives real perspective. And then add in the faulty test and falsified death and case counts and this whole fraud should be apparent to all.

https://txdshs.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsd...b01e8b9cafc8b83 Zero cases in Bandera County. Yesterday there were 22. The data is worthless. The crap DSHS trumpets a record high 197 deaths today. Of course we don't know when they died or what they died FROM.
The wildly inaccurate numbers at the Texas DSHS website are something to see. They have renamed "viral" tests (which they are not) to "molecular tests." How impressive/sarc. These tests are all variants of the error-fraught PCR test. They all amplify the sample an unknown number of times and yield a huge percentage of false positives. The LAMP test, in particular, is used in third-world countries that cannot afford the tech of the rt-PCR test. I wonder if this why the "positivity" rate is skyrocketing to over 20%. Must ask King Greg.
The number of daily tests has fallen from over 63,000 to around 32,000 a day. They're running out of fools and I ain't lying. Anyone who submits themselves to these bogus tests gets what they deserve.
I caught a brief report on Faux News where the reporter breathlessly stated this new rate. Of course I immediately changed the channel. The fact is that hospitalizations are decreasing every day and the number of available ICU beds is increasing every day.

Texas officials say record-high COVID-19 positivity rate was caused by coding errors, system upgrades The state says coding errors from two labs and a system upgrade on Aug. 1 caused an artificial 24.5% positivity rate. The rate dropped to 16% Thursday and Friday. Something went wrong. Author: Teresa Woodard Published: 6:22 PM CDT August 14, 2020 Updated: 7:02 PM CDT August 14, 2020 Facebook Twitter DALLAS — Gov. Greg Abbott said Thursday the Texas Department of State Health Services had brought in a “data team” to determine why the positivity rate of COVID-19 tests spiked to record levels in the first two weeks of August, reaching 24.5% on Wednesday.
The positivity rate is the percentage of COVID tests that come back positive. The higher the percentage, the more alarming to public health experts.
Abbott has previously said he would consider a positivity rate of above 10% a red flag for spread of the coronavirus in Texas.
The inept and corrupt DSHS can't count or run a website. I recall that from the soul-deadening years I worked for them. I'm sure no one in the media has reported that the high positivity rate in Texas was an error. In fact, the whole website is an error.
Using the positivity rate is the wrong metric. Because the test is fraught with false positives and most who test positive have no symptoms (which should clue anyone with a brain into the fact the test if bogus), they should look at hospitalizations which have fallen daily. King Greg will keep Texas locked down forever on the basis on the positivity rate of a bogus test. What an abject fool.

This is a colossal problem....

Tim O’Shea, a naturopathic physician and chiropractor from San Jose, California, noted in his podcast The Doctor Within, that while the media freely interchanges the terms “cases” and “positive tests” when talking about the sudden spikes, they are actually different from each other.
According to O’Shea, while there is indeed a sudden uptick in positive tests, one must not assume that those are immediately going to be considered as cases, noting that in terms of medical definitions, a “case” is only identified if someone actually becomes ill due to the infection.
“A case is when someone gets sick from the disease. That’s completely different from a positive test. These two terms are not synonymous like media pretends,” O’Shea said.
Furthermore, the rise in positive cases should not be a cause for alarm, as it can be attributed easily to the increase in testing across the country.
“In two months’ time, we had gone from less than 25,000 tests per day to almost 600,000 tests per day. So of course, there is going to be an enormous rise in positives in every state,” O’Shea added, echoing a similar statement issued by President Donald Trump.
“If we didn’t test, you wouldn’t be able to show that chart,” President Trump said in a Fox News interview that aired on July 19. “If we tested half as much, those numbers would be down.”
O’Shea, in his podcast, also noted that while the number of positive cases may indeed be rising, it is still not a cause for alarm, adding that 99 percent of people who get positive results in their tests never get the disease.

The media pretends and they have most of the world snookered on this.... it is unreal how so many people have been taken in by this fraud.... I would not have predicted it.....

I wouldn't have either. It just proves how dumbed-down the population is and how susceptible to gaslighting and brainwashing. The vast majority don't question the "authorities" and can't think for themselves, use common sense, or bother to do some research and educate themselves.

I believe that is the biggest problem.....

In the category of you can't make this up: On the Texas DSHS website today, there are more RECOVERIES than CASES in Kerr and Bandera County. Their data proves GIGO.
