Thank's Hazo, this is what I was looking for. I also finally found a resource that gives an 8-day moving average of new cases, which I've been looking for for a while. Its an ABC affiliate out of Conway, SC but I almost didn't wanna post it bc they don't specify where they get their data. But its up-to-date at least.

By the way, if anyone is wondering what a COVID-19 test is like, do I have a trip report for you: Imagine you have a strangely non-spicy hot pepper stuck in your sinuses while someone roots around in your nostrils with a toilet brush. Two times.

That's a toughie. Where do you find information about places that are actively suppressing information? (sincere)

For SC's part, our Department of Health and Environmental Control (where I think JHU was pulling information) is still live and showing data. In fact, its showing that yesterday was the 2nd highest number of reported cases for SC since the outbreak started. So while SC continues to gently caress up the CV response and the people continue to be largely indifferent about social distancing, reporting the 2nd highest number of new cases implies that the aren't suppressing reporting here, at least not completely.

So its probably just a tech issue with the JHU dashboard. I'm willing to believe that they are loving with the numbers but I would wanna see some evidence before I believed it. So yeah, good question

I haven't had the COVID test but I did get tested for anthrax back in the day. You have described it well. There is no reason it should burn, but it does. It's like your upper sinuses ate a very hot pepper.

It’s only wasabi if it comes from the mountain stream beds of Japan.

Otherwise it’s just sparkling horseradish horseradish with food colouring.

It’s technically possible to grow wasabi outside of Japan, but you’ll know if you’re getting the real deal.

Yeah, everyone knows it's not really wasabi, but we still call it that.



King County (Seattle) is starting to open back up now, so in two weeks we'll have a bunch of new cases that they'll blame on the protests instead of people crowding into restaurants and bars.

I just don't know what to believe anymore...
The conspiracy-theory about conspiracy-theories is that a lot of them are astro-turfed but that might just be an astro-turfed conspiracy theory.
The fact (I actually believe what they researched in the following video) that some scientific publications are utter BS doesn't make things any better.

It's an open secret that no one wants discussed but this applies is wide swathes across the other sciences too. Psych and Econ especially when people go back to re-do some "classic" experiments they get completely different results then 70 years ago and suddenly several decades of studies and 100s of peoples reputations and careers as world experts are technically meaningless.

"Publish or perish" is a real thing and if you're working as a research Ph.D at a private university you can make as low as $60k so that sweet sweet research funding is your only way to get your name out there.

Nasopharyngeal swabs are not fun. The good news is that nasopharyngeal swabs are hilariously unnecessary for testing for covid; LabCorp's test uses lower nostrils, whereas mid-turbinate swabs (slightly inside your sinuses, makes you feel itchy but that's it) and even saliva are also great media. The approved tests just haven't caught up completely yet.

Anyway, hope your test comes back negative!

My favorite is the "classic" results that were just outright fabrications, like the Stanford Prison Experiment. Still led to a long and extremely storied career though!
