I can't convince an insane person they're wrong. I don't even know why I try. Massachusetts mom and I are laughing at you, cupcake. You are actually right, obviously the surge is from cases over the holiday. We've seen leaps in data like this before. Regarding antibodies vanishing after five days??? I was not personally at your crack and vodka party in your Tahoe where you decided that was what I said? So I can't really attest to the logical leap that made that fabricated nonsense stick in your brain? But I suspect you misinterpret things people say all the time. It's probably why stalking me is so important to you. As you yourself admit, antibodies wane over time. (How much time varies, but I believe it's usually a lot more than five days.) A serology test can't find what isn't there. I get that discounting long covid is one of your passions, much like some women like coloring books or yoga or knitting... but you're so intellectually last that even your poor Botox patients wouldn't buy your arguments, and those ladies aren't exactly deep thinkers. |

Let's get this straight- you're suggesting that months ago, when the Massachusetts Department of Public Health decided to update their dashboard on weekdays, they were motivated by prior knowledge that they'd see a spike on Memorial Day weekend and they wanted to hide that data for an extra couple of days for... reasons. Is that right? Before you hit the submit button, do you ever pause to ask yourself if what you're about to post actually makes sense? And if you, do you ever then go back to double check what you're claiming? Because your suggestion that Massachusetts is "count hoarding," ostensibly to briefly hide cases, is pretty wild. And the idea that there would be a sudden 3.4x increase just happening to coincide with a 3-day holiday weekend (when fewer people would probably be testing) should have look theoretically possible, but impractical. And the idea that Massachusetts was only averaging 294 cases per day across the entire state should have looked suspiciously low. Here's the actual number of COVID cases that Massachusetts, listed by report date. The number of cases reported on 5/31 wasn't unusual. 5/17/2022 3425 5/18/2022 3948 5/19/2022 4957 5/20/2022 3938 5/23/2022 7626 5/24/2022 2693 5/25/2022 3084 5/26/2022 3485 5/27/2022 3092 5/31/2022 7029 Massachusetts also reports the number of positive tests grouped by the date the test was performed. See the graph below pulled from their dashboard. The last few days won't have complete data yet, since the tests may not have been completed yet or the may not have been reported yet. But the initial, incomplete data is far below the levels from earlier days.

Be prepared for some crap reply from China Caller - “blah blah blah puppy, blah blah blah I occupy so much space in your head cupcake…blah blah blah I make tons of money blah blah blah…my comment actually contains nothing of substance but I am nothing if not persistent blah blah blah…[insert insult attempting to be witty but really just makes me look more pathetic] blah blah blah…” |
You're obsessed with making gender-related insults. Didn't you just claim a couple days ago that a certain poster was misogynistic (when they said nothing about gender at all)? Or was that one of your alternative personalities (e.g., Massachusetts Mom)? |
| Sorry, how was that gender-related? Did I misuse your pronouns? I thought you wanted to be referred to as a woman. |
No, when she's been caught saying something demonstrably false (like saying Covid is more contagious than measles), she tends to drop it and pretend it came from a different poster. She can't respond without implicitly acknowledging she doesn't know what she's talking about, so I don't think she'll respond. Bring this back up in a few days and see if she tries to deny she wrote these posts. |
I know you don't like to learn things that don't support your preexisting views, so I suspect you'll continue to ignore data on the performance of serology tests and antibody levels over time. But for anyone else that follows this thread, serology tests can include measurements looking for a variety of antibodies, but if you're looking for evidence of past infection in vaccinated subjects, you're mainly going to be looking for immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies to the nucleocapsid protein of SARS-CoV-2. If you look at the FDA's page on the performance of serology tests, these tests have sensitivity and specificity values close to 100%, meaning they're highly likely to detect a prior infection, and they're highly resistant to false positives. And while antibody levels will wane over time, discussions of that are usually worried about neutralizing antibodies decreasing to levels that aren't sufficient to prevent (re)infection. And in particular, the IgG antibodies used in these serology tests remain detectable for a long time.This study found 100% of people had detectable IgG antibodies 10 months after an infection, dropping slightly to 90% after a year. |

The overall trend has been positive, with notable exceptions. Stats to watch in tomorrows data.
This data is from 5/31/22, reported today. There are 271 new student infections and 40 new staff infections reported since yesterday. There have been 1771 active infections at MCPS within the last 10 days. This is 203 more than yesterday's 10-day average. Of 210 schools in MCPS plus Central Office, 33 (16%) are improving, 85 (40%) are steady, and 92 (44%) are getting worse. 10% (20 of 210) schools have an infection rate of 2% or more. 0% (0 of 210) schools have an infection rate of 10% or more.

Massachusetts Department of Public Health posted their daily report. Think the R-Letter-O poster will come back to weigh in the numbers there? I know she was really concerned about it yesterday…
I’m guessing not. At least, starting tonight everyone will deny they were the authors of the posts accusing MA of trying to cover up an imaginary surge in cases. |
lol. It's like the guy with the mask. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. |
Talking about cases in MA has no relevance to MCPS. Can you all stick to the topic? |
Take it up with R-Naughty. She brought it up. |
I bet there’s a better than 50% chance that PP is the one that brought up MA. But now she’s trying to change the subject to avoid admitting she was wrong. It's pretty clear she has some sort of personality disorder. |
She’s probably on an important phone call with China. Or rolling around in her wads of cash. Or wildly misinterpreting a scientific study. She could be doing anything, really. |
