   "Backlog in state reporting adds more than 5,000 coronavirus cases in Dallas County" Most of these should have been recorded in July. About 600 belong to August. It means the risk was underestimated for a month, leading to bad policy decisions. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/public-health/2020/08/16/backlog-in-state-reporting-adds-more-than-5000-coronavirus-cases-in-dallas-county/

   I am just going to admit this out loud. The @SMU live stream of graduation beginning with the theme from "Cowboy Bebop" was amazing.

    I feel like henceforth referring to spaces on campus, where people congregate against health recommendations, as haunted plague boxes should be a top priority. https://twitter.com/xkcdcomic/status/1294348767810875393

    Vague reporting from the Dallas Morning News leaves the mystery of Collin County's leap from ~200 cases per day to almost 1200 cases per day. What caused this? https://www.dallasnews.com/news/public-health/2020/08/14/dallas-county-reports-885-new-coronavirus-cases-weekly-average-on-the-upswing-after-recent-declines/

    From COVID19Tracking https://twitter.com/COVID19Tracking on Twitter: Texas testing data seems to have rebounded from very low numbers last week. However, the state has not provided clear answers on what is happening in its reporting systems and positivity calculations. Read more here about what we can and cannot know https://t.co/Vf6vzZv1IR

    So ... ... this happened today in Collin County, TX. For days, increased testing has resulted in about 200 cases per day, double a few weeks ago. Today: 1175 cases. Please let it be testing. PLEASE. (Won't know for 3 days, as test reporting lags case reporting) https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1294407579616137220/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/67046

    I also wrote in the Friday department newsletter, "Try to take a breath in the next 9 days. The University is making constant demands on all of us. Trust in your teaching. Trust that youve got this, because you do. And dont forget to breathe." https://blog.smu.edu/smuphysics/2020/08/14/physics-department-friday-newsletter-for-august-14-2020/
