Leash is getting shorter by the minute. No 3.0 will be allowed if this thread tanks.....
I appreciate you staying on top of things.
Something to keep in mind is that every outcome from a COVID-19 infection isn't going to be just death or 100% fine. We're seeing lots of extended hospital stays as well as lingering side effects that could turn into life long issues that decrease quality of life and productivity.
I guess merely reporting the actual data is a jab
If they had managed to save Nick Cordero he would be minus a leg!
FWIW I also think California numbers are suspect as I saw nearly half of their tests are done at a drive through in Dodger Stadium. This doesn't capture the most vulnerable communities such as the homeless and poor as many don't have cars. This is in someway offset by targeting the most infected area. It makes it hard to get a good feel for the real spread.
Worth the read.
keep in mind sundays are slow days for reporting deaths
I'm thinking that those states which report a day in arrears (majority) don't include LTC data or smaller hospitals in Sunday and Monday numbers. Those that report "day of" (many of the larger states) similarly don't include them in Saturday or Sunday numbers. In both cases this is due to lack of administrative staff over the weekend either at the facilities or in the DOH. Cases are impacted but I think that the big 2 work 24/7 except maybe holidays are limited staff. Thus Cases are less impacted.
BTW that's why I focus on 7 day average more than individual days.
Seems like it “adjusts” tue-thu. This week should be an indicator of how deadly this go-round will be.
or it could be next week. I guess at this point the virus tells us
Nah....where else? 🤣
I have deaths exceeding 1,000 Wednesday and falling back during July, The model doesn't factor in the day of the week so it May be Tuesday and drop over the weekends but the 7 Day will remain over 1,000 from the 21st on ending the month at 1,457 per day with the last 3 days being just over 1,500 each day
Just found out my cousin in North Augusta has it. He’s doing fine so far, but could probably use the prayers. He’s a Clemson fan, but don’t hold that against him
My wife has 2 high school friends (both mid 40's) message her the last 3 days.
A couple of anecdotal but encouraging reports. A college age niece and and a ~40 yr old nephew just had it. The niece said it caused less severe symptoms than a common cold, very mild. The nephew got pretty sick. Headaches, fever, muscle aches, coughing, but fortunately nothing more serious. He was quite impressed by the kick CV 19 gave him, but I think he is still considered a mild case. The Jekyll and Hyde nature of CV is causing the stark difference in attitudes some people have formed. You can talk to ten people who were barely sick and then it kills a healthy 35 year old.
Glad he is fine. He might be the first person you know who has tested positive, but you know lots who have been and had no idea.
That’s called the Pinocchio model.
This week will tell a bunch. While not as great as the overall increase in cases, the rate of growth for deaths in FL, TX and AZ is accelerating. Best case scenario is that the acceleration in cases doesn’t have the same follow through in deaths. Based on the data I am skeptical.
It will indeed. I noticed an error in the earlier post, I meant "NOT falling back in July". Sorry about that guessing brain cramp!
