One week out from Thanksgiving, coronavirus cases are still on the rise across the U.S. Health experts are warning against travel and large gatherings for the holiday, encouraging Americans instead to stay home and slow the spread of the virus. How's the situation in your area?
I live in Florida. Cold hasn't set in yet. But cases and deaths are going up. Our idiot governor DeSantis has done nothing but undermine the efforts of mayors. DeSantis is keeping restaurants, bars, schools, ... open. My son is attending school virtually. But already two of his teachers have tested positive, and many fellow students who attend in person are in quarantine. We don't know how many tested positive. I have no idea how common this is in other schools in Florida. All I see on the news is that there are "rumors" that this is the norm in just about every public school. But there is no way to know for sure because the Florida Department of Health has been keeping these statistics secret. But we're not even close to the worst part. We expect the number of cases (and deaths) to shoot up as the number of cold days increases. You can be sure that, given the policy from DeSantis is to undermine any effort to mitigate the problem, we are in for a very very dark winter.
They are on a small rise, especially in relation to the number of cases. And the death rate - deaths / cases - continues to drop. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_dailytrendsdeaths
I don't need the governor to tell me anything. I need him to tell the numskulls who go into bars and don't wear masks. Most of which are probably from his own party.
This is kina cute. It gives a probability that someone in the group has covid. https://covid19risk.biosci.gatech.edu/
New York just got a new COVID case today... https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/folks-very-amused-don-jr-235328587.html Watch out Crazy Lady The Best... Is Yet... To Come
How many people has the flu killed this year or did that magically go away? Or are all flu cases now considered covid cases?
I live in Southern California. Even though the number of cases is rising, the number of hospitalizations and deaths continue to decline.
I'm having 11 people over then we are flying out tonutah I can guarantee that was paid for by some useless grant. Money would have been better spent studying if people butter bread left or right handed
Case totals mean very little to me. At the county-level in Texas, the death-rate does not increase or decrease based on case-totals, population density, median age, or median income. Of course, more cases at a death-rate that is constant = more deaths, but then we must ask what the death-rate is. When I ran my analysis for August/September, it was < .001. This also ignores that I have a nurse in the family who has seen first-hand head-trauma victims bleed out in the ER and get labeled COVID deaths. She takes care of folks who test positive once and then test positive again later, equaling two tabulated cases. I see my school tell students that they are contacts to cases with no evidence as well. I think we focus too much on case-totals and this should be obvious by now.
Numbers based upon a grossly unreliable test are fraudulent numbers, meaningless numbers meant for the credulous only.
They have (early 50s (unhealthy), late 60s (healthy)). They have recovered. I've had it (and recovered too). This should be irrelevant as I am describing why the case-totals explain very little about the risk of COVID. Case totals =/= risk. It likely matters more that you're staying as individually healthy as possible via diet, lifestyle and exercise, and not that you're living around a bunch of people who have COVID. Also, I want to share my Excel data with you if you'd like. It was sourced using CDC numbers + Census Bureau demographic estimates. Idk how to add an Excel file here but I did my own analysis to make my claims. It isn't robust but it is helpful to me.
Hmm. Like me, my wife, all the guys at work and their wives. I had a fever for 2 days. A couple others had a sniffle. None of this changes the numbers.
Miraculously nobody is dying from rhinovirus, adenovirus, metapneumovirus, influenza virus or plain old carona virus anymore.
They are calculating the additional deaths by looking at yearly trends and comparing that to reported covid deaths. After over 11 million cases, we are well beyond the realm of uncertainty. What you are pushing is total crackpot nonsense. You are a respiratory therapist, right? You do understand that makes you a grunt and not a scientist or an expert, right?
