COVID-19 Check-in 2.0

Small crowd in church today. 100 people in a sanctuary of 2500. Saw many more masks than ever before. I did not have one on, but I KNOW I didn't get within 20 feet of anyone. Again, I have been social distancing for years.
Spent last week on vacation with my family. Lots of masks. Good to see.
SC reported highest case rate ever, over 2K for the first time. Deaths still steady, but I expect it to rise because our Covid hospitalizations are up. My medical friends still say we are better at saving the really sick, however. There's a great hope in that!
A good friend and his wife (late 40's) both have it. She was tested. He was not - his symptoms were milder, but a test seemed unnecessary once she was positive. She lost taste and smell, felt bad for 3 days. He had some shortness of breath. Both much better today.
I'm a Trump guy......most on here know that.....but it's difficult for him to wear a mask because it smears his self tanning lotion.
Biden wears this mask so he can still sniff women's hair.
Now everybody is even @PerroGrande
No more ideological bickering. Only discuss real world events.
We still owe you a couple of zingers, but I'll save the extra lives for later.
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.
