Number 1 at something this time is bad..........
JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Mississippi has the highest rate of positive COVID-19 tests in the country, data over the past 14 days shows.
A comparison of the 50 states (plus Washington, D.C.) was done on COVIDExitStrategy.org.
The data, pulled from multiple sources, shows a 21.7% of positive cases in the Magnolia State in the past two weeks, which is the highest in the United States.
Just three states--New York, Vermont and Maine--appear to be trending in the right direction.
The data also puts Mississippi at the highest rate of ICU capacity filled, with 98% of ICU beds occupied in the state. Alabama and Georgia are the only other states with ICUs filled above 90%.
More than 55,000 cases of the virus have been reported by Mississippi State Department of Health since March. Nearly 3% of those who have contracted the virus have died, which is slightly lower than the national average.
When I saw he was hospitalized a while back I got pretty worried about him. He fit the profile of some of the bad ones I see. I hate to see he passed.
In my county hospitalizations are at 10% of confirmed cases and deaths 1%. What we're not seeing is the number asymptomatic positive cases. That is a key statistic that seems to be missing from the data, unless I'm missing it.
I am not aware of any state showing asymptomatic cases as the tests won't show that and even if the data was recorded at time of test it would still not be able to tell asymptomatic versus pre-symptomatic.
In debate class we had to prepare arguments for both sides. Objectively, this fella has at least legitimized the perspective that treating some Covid patients with HCQ may have some benefits.
Well first post in a while but, COVID 19 has everyone worried for good reason. Some people have been let go from there jobs others have moved states bc of remote work.
my family made the best of and I can finally say I’m moving down south for good. I’m not moving to GA but moving to Hilton head to be close to the beach. Life handed us lemons and we made lemonade.
Stay safe and healthy!!
Cheers
You aren't missing it, which is why number of cases is not important. It's just a number the media can sensationalize.
Are the numbers out of Belarus believable? No lockdowns.
My be off topic and no its not COVID-19 but is interesting for Corona Virus.

Understand and a digital form requesting symptom information would probably result in few returns.
Oddly, to even get a testing appointment you have to state you have at least 2 of 5 C-19 symptoms, forcing people to make up symptoms, because there's no checkbox regarding being exposed to someone who's tested positive. Both of my kids have been in contact with people who have tested positive, but showed no symptoms of the virus.
My son is finally out of quarantine...... I thought for sure the rest of the family would catch Covid... but no one did. We all got tested yesterday and everyone was negative.
He never experienced any significant symptoms other than mild congestion for 48 hours. Said his allergies were worse than that.
I realize others have significantly worse symptoms......but his symptoms did seem consistent with others in his age group.
I guess since he never really coughed or sneezed......and he rarely talks.....that he didn't release many particles in the air. And my wife is a clean - a - hol- ic.......even before covid.
But I imagine his play station head phones are probably covered in covid.
I enjoy hearing the media discuss the huge "maskdebate" problem in America.
I try not to engage in "maskdebate" with others. It always has the same outcome.
No they are not. This guy is a dictator who jails political rivals.
Tex- glad he had super mild case and rest of your family is well! It's astounding how varied the cases are. Guess that's one of biggest reasons it's a "successful" pandemic. I work in a fairly high risk setting - manage an endodontic office- root canals- fun ;) and have had bad allergies since childhood. Now that I'm hearing more & more people say their case was just like having allergies it's really concerning. Although I'm one who's been following mask, sanitize, & social distancing guidelines from start, especially since I'm in close contact with people who are in people's mouths all day, I would hate to assume it's just my allergies flaring up & end up spreading it. On other hand those of us who deal with chronic allergies can't realistically get tested every time we have some sinus congestion/allergy symptoms. And with the way testing is around here (from countless stories from our patients) they wouldn't test me anyway without more symptoms than that. Again, guess this is what makes it so dangerous. If it knocked everyone on their back for several days like flu seems to it probably wouldn't be quite so easily spread.
When my son experienced mild symptoms we thought it best he get tested because of all the football camps and workouts he was doing.
Trying not to shut down other football programs.
Doubt his symptoms were serious enough for most clinics to test him......but one of my buddies took care of it.
Glad we did it.
I glanced at a headline this morning stating there appears to be multiple "strands" of C-19. This may explain why some only have mild symptoms.
