Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

i am getting the sense that the daily numbers are for the previous day, hard to imagine such up to the minute for today, although i could be wrong

 

7 for 7 on patients that warranted compassionate use (ie left for dead) is pretty damn impressive. Seems like the placenta material may be the biggest hurdle. Does US have a similar compassionate use policy?

 

I thought about posting another picture but tbe original seems to have legs still. Much easier to get positive ratings over there...maybe uncle is on to something

 

Found this interesting

An estimated additional 180 - 195 deaths per day occurring at home in New York City due to COVID-19 are not being counted in the official figures. "Early on in this crisis we were able to swab people who died at home, and thus got a coronavirus reading. But those days are long gone. We simply don't have the testing capacity for the large numbers dying at home. Now only those few who had a test confirmation *before* dying are marked as victims of coronavirus on their death certificate. This almost certainly means we are undercounting the total number of victims of this pandemic," said Mark Levine, Chair of New York City Council health committee [source]

 

I am trying to help @GatorGuyDallas keep his sanity here.

 

Yeah, I hear similar things from lots of liberals.

 

I guess I’m an interesting “liberal” as I’ve voted for Reagan, Bush and Perot. I wanted to vote for McCain until he tapped Palin.

I’m a moderate.

 

1st death in the US was March 1st

United States Coronavirus: 489,280 Cases and 18,016 Deaths - Worldometer


Its been 41 days(a day under 6 weeks) and today's count isn't done yet.

 

From the perspective of today’s right, you are a liberal. Your science based assessments prove it.

 

5 weeks. Including one area that closed too late because it was seeded too early.

 

These days Reagan would be RINOed out and labeled a liberal.

 

Gasp!! Damnable press.

Same as being a damn libitard to the right.
EDIT: Duchen beat me to it again!

 

United Airlines Pilot: I Brought Coronavirus To The U.S. Before Health Authorities Say This Started

United Airlines Pilot: I Brought Coronavirus To The U.S. Before Health Authorities Say This Started - View from the Wing

Vaughn Cordle was a United Airlines Boeing 787 pilot, flying out of Beijing several times a month. He noticed an uptick in sick passengers on his flights between China and Washington Dulles as far back as December, including a co-pilot making Beijing roundtrips.

Between mid-December and mid-January, an unusually high number of passengers felt unwell on almost every flight and this included two of my copilots. One was so ill, he sweated profusely and was unable to sit in the co-pilot’s seat on our approach to Beijing airport. In the taxi, on the way to the hotel, he was violently sick and his skin was ashen gray.

On some of those flights, doctors and nurses who tended to the sick believed that the culprit was food poisoning.



The last time he flew as a United Airlines captain was January 18. After that trip Captain Cordle took ill, suffering fatigue and muscle aches for two weeks. He dropped his January 27 Beijing trip, and never flew again. He retired February 3.

 

I am left of center. I think my more distinguishing characteristic is an aversion to extremes and a desire for both sides to compromise more to get things done for the American people.

 

You know those sounds you hear that you can’t trace?

 

Glad to hear McCain got something outta that deal.

 

Commie.

 

Eventually, we'll have estimates that will seek to capture those that weren't tested but suspected/determined to have died related to c19.

 

I didn't like that the visualization was daily deaths, I felt like a display like that was better for cumulative deaths.
