There's 0 incentive to open a bar/restauarant/etc ever again at this point.
I predict that the Dakotas and Wyoming will see a surge in new residents in the coming years. If even the Republican governor of Texas is caving to the hysteria I don't have much hope for this country anymore.
“1-week bereavement leave to mourn deaths of unarmed black people by police...Democratic Mayor Ted Wheeler announced earlier this month that he would instruct managers to approve a week of leave without question
Does this offer include the Portland police?
There's a reason so few people live in the Dakotas and Wyoming
Rolling this back sets a super shitty precedent. This backslide to me is easily worse than the initial dividing of us into essential and non-essential.
When the idiots who ONLY look at the scary headlines and refuse to delve deeper into the data will shut schools and board up businesses with the backing of our governor.
NOW we have acquiesced AGAIN. But not by force...."We the people" demanded it.
The really bad parts is, I think we will quickly do it again....and at any provocation. Flu season in 2020 will be the end of us unless we collectively grow a pair of balls.
Not sure we come back from this...existential despair is starting to set it.

There is a bit more to testing than this.
This is always possible. False negatives are a thing in testing. However there are simply too many questions around these cases to know what is going on. Were both tests PCR? Antibody? A mixture?
Testing is far to complex to type out on this board, but its always good to confirm test results. PCR tests are very specific and highly accurate (the same test methodology used in DNA testing) but if you do not have the virus, it would likely be negative (assuming the PCR test is highly specific to unique nucleotide strings.) Antibody tests have a lot of mitigating factors around what they mean.
Suffice it to say a test in and of itself, in general are very specific and generally highly reliable. There is a lot about CV19 that is misunderstood, outright BS and overblown, but testing as a clinical measure really is exempt.
