This is awesome. Glad you were able to battle through. Inspiration for all of us.
Great news. Glad you are better.
This is relevant to the above post.
You're so welcome. Glad to hear you're better!
I have looked at the 7 day average of number of new people tested and show the trend for the last 14 days.
The total US tests have increased by 70k per day over the last 2 weeks. However the increase is all in the states that I am not tracking. The 10 on my "Hot List" have declined slightly.
Individual trends of note - Florida testing has steadily dropped from 65k a day to 53k. Texas has increased from 55k to 62k. Georgia has increased from 23k to 28k. Alabama has dropped from 11.5k to 8.4k.
The rate of New Cases as a percentage of New Tested differs markedly. The 70k additional tests in lower positive states drives the overall US average numbers down while the move in testing from Florida and Alabama (19-20%) to Georgia and Texas (12%) further skews the numbers.
Positive Rates are below.
Its a dog and pony show. Google is a huge donor to both parties. Nothing will come of this. They all probably went and had drinks after this meeting. Just another way to create content for clicks. Don't let them get you worked up.
I’m not. It was just another opportunity to share a Breitbart link for me.
Can I get an off topic then?
It really was. We could all do with a little more perspective. I've developed this theory over the years. Humans don't deal with a lack of adversity very well. It's like we're built to deal with severe amounts of it, so when it's lacking we start inventing stuff or at least making things bigger than they are. But when something major actually does hit we tend to buck up and be better versions of ourselves out of necessity. War, hurricanes, etc. Even the pandemic at first went well. Then it didn't really pan out to be as bad as it could of been (thankfully). That's about when the finger pointing started too.
Mamma always said idle hands are the devil's work.
This is interesting...
Florida Deaths.
The deaths reported for the 7 days July 1-7 was 339 many of which showed as June Date of Death. Even by the report July 12th the deaths with DOD of July 1-7 were 385. The "current" death total for that week now stands at 568 from today's report including another 10 added today. It should be noted that the report today includes a record 253 deaths of which only 18 show a DOD of yesterday.
Given the level of deaths over the last 7 days (1,068) the mind boggles at to how many deaths have occurred so far in July that have yet to be reported!
I will be monitoring the final tally for July as it changes through August.
That’s one way to reach your prediction.
Be sure to subtract deaths in July to account for June, if that’s how it works.
I’ve kind of halfway explored those for our business. I think the biggest value added for us would be perception. Some people are so scared to do anything that I figure any little bit might help.
The problem I see with those lights is that air particles don’t stay in one place. You can’t light up everything.
I’m surprised some of these comments don’t have more UV’s. 😃
Towards the bottom of the article the author is clear about the two primary issues, which is time to kill the virus (25 minutes with the light) and the potential side effects due to exposure, which are not known at this time.
