SC with a 14.7% positive rate yesterday on tests. Definitely trending in the wrong direction, and I don't think it's due to more testing either.
with all the walking back of the walkbacked walkbacking, i have no idea what the advice du jour is. (yes i am aware that this sounds like something 2&2 would say.)
That was only on nearly 3k tests, when they've been averaging 5k to 6k from what I've seen.
They're finally doing free drive-thru testing in Horry County, where very few people have changed their habits and has been open to tourists since the week before Memorial Day. My hope is that most of the cases are found via the free drive-thru testing (asymptomatic) and not people going to the doctor/hospital with serious symptoms.
Unsure why Upstate SC has been surging like it has for the last month.
Hospitalizations is the key #, and unfortunately that's going up.
Because half of Charlotte has been going down there to drink and party while Cooper won't let bars open in NC. Had 12 friends go down in 3 cars for a weekend a few weeks ago. 8 of the 12 came down with Rona symptoms on a Tuesday, test results came back positive Thursday, were feeling fine by Friday and had an I Survived party on Saturday.

It is coming here no matter what. If I'm going to get it anyway, it might as well be with a burger and beer.
and a side of tubes down your throat!

About a third of the customers at the Harris Teeter yesterday were not wearing masks. Then I went upstairs and the bar was open with a dozen people sitting around drinking beer, obviusly without masks, including a couple of 50-something dudes I know.
