Here is this local paper better?
The MTD data thru yesterday is shown below together with the same detail for where we stood 1 week ago
Overall US the cases per day have increased from 57,524 a week ago to 60,653 yesterday. This is mainly a result of testing increasing from 688k to 719k daily with only a minor uptick in positivity rate.
States that don't follow this trend:
Texas - although cases per day have increased shows a reduction in positivity rate from 55% above June to 51%. Minor but promising.
Arizona - Cases has fallen by 230 per day but this is almost all due to testing falling back to June levels.
Alabama - Most significant increase in CPD due to a spike in positivity rate The increase from 1,401 to 1,535 means that last week was of the order of 1,800 cases per day. The only saving grace is that the population is not of the same order as Cal, TX, FL
SC - Increased cases appear to be in line with increased testing with pos rate falling last week.
I wouldn’t waste your time with he/she/it. Check out the comment history. Pretty angry person.
It really is a sign of the times that a professional would suggest the person may have thought they were testing someone (hypothetically) named Jay but it was really someone named Rebecca. I guess the transgender legal issues have the testers scared to ask.
Zero training and the people they’ve hired just don’t care. I had to give my name and DOB to 3 different people when I was tested, including the person doing the test. Apathy is the only way to mess it up like this.
Yay SC... (Trying to celebrate small victories...). We aren't the worst! (Many times we are...)
SC cases are still too high, but have leveled off at somewhere around "s.ucks.". I was worried we were headed for "really, really s.ucks" and we have seemed to slow the process and prevent getting there right now. Would love to see it start to head the other way soon.
Happy to see more and more masks everywhere.
On a different note, I found a great article from Burgermeister Meisterburger on nature vs. nurture and going back to school. I will link it if I find it again..
A little bit of encouraging news from FL: despite dramatic growth in cases over the last few weeks, net hospitalizations actually went down a little today. Total CV hospitalizations are steady at about 15% of total state hospital beds. ICU beds are tighter. But, considering the huge case load, hospitalizations aren't exploding out of control yet.
Deaths in Texas have started to increase exponentially it seems.
Which day? Haven't seen today's numbers posted. If you are referring to yesterday's dashboard beware. The Tuesday numbers in Florida are generally higher as it includes a catch-up from the weekend which are reported Sunday and Monday. Last 7 days were
In order columns are day and 7 day ave.
You can see the reduction Sunday (Saturday) and Monday (Sunday) and the jump Tuesday (Monday plus catch up as office staff return to work.
Total case loads in TX and FL could have peaked, but it is too early to say for sure. CA is still growing, unfortunately. It will be interesting to see how the case loads react to the varied policies. If Sweden is a valid template for what happens regardless of policy, we could soon see lower case loads in TX and FL.
Yes, that’s better than breitbart if that’s what you’re asking. If you’re gonna post a source, don’t post one that’s known to be overly biased and misleading.
I just look at the hospital bed data. It is net, so it could go down if people are going home from the hospital, or dying.
BTW, here is our home state. It is also showing a little dip in the seven day avg, but it isn't as pronounced as FL/TX.
I was referring to the last snarky comment at @Bankwalker from the previous day. Something along the lines of "Great detective work, champ. Groundbreaking stuff there." I decided to point out the irony of preaching about being taken seriously and making posts like those. And I don't live in a bubble, my friend, so there isn't one to burst.
After his comment that wearing a mask is unhealthy and providing a source that didn’t back up his claim whatsoever? Yeah, I think in that situation a snarky comment is justified.
I’m not really concerned with being taken seriously in reply to he/she/it, it’s clear to me that he/she/it remains willfully ignorant and doesn’t read past the headline 9/10 times. There’s no use in trying to have a serious conversation with someone like that, so snarky it is.
Remember to wear a mask to help prevent the spread of disease!
