Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

You generally aren't diagnosed and then die on the same day...

 

Off topic but this is my favorite version. No cute kids or papa’s though.

 

24,428 new cases is a good trend, if it can hold. You figure 5~% death rate, that's 1,221 deaths. Heading in the right direction. Thank you, Mr. Trump.

 

In his post.

 

You should read it again. No where does he say his wife will immediately start going back to those shops when they are allowed to open.

 

That's just bizarre.

 

United States Coronavirus: 817,952 Cases and 45,279 Deaths - Worldometer
25193 new cases/2765 new deaths

Deaths per million 137, up from 128

 

Nope, wrong much like the Business Insider headline.

In response to my post, where I stated the people who’ll utilize these services upon their reopening were not practicing “social distancing” etc prior to the reopening, you had a need to mention your wife’s utilization of massage therapy and tattoo operations? It’s more than reasonable to conclude you mention your wife’s use of the two aforementioned services to refute my point by indicating she, who has been social distancing, will use these two services. That is conflicted with the Georgia governor being an “idiot” and his decision to reopen such service as “dumbfounding”

Hey, if your wife is not going to a massage therapist or tattoo “artist” upon the reopening of those services, why did you even mention her use of those services? I don’t think many prudent, responsible people are going to be getting massages and tattoos in the very near future. Are you really trying to refute that point?

 

Oh yes you did!!!!

 

Never challenge Florida Man in a contest of stupid.

 

What is there to explain? The two are independent of each other. You'll start seeing lower mortality in a couple of weeks.

 

you are missing the point, if the virus was spreading, the number of new cases would increase, not decrease.

 

"Here’s the deal. Kemp mandates restaurants reopen, whether I reopen dining rooms or not.I file for business interruption insurance, it does not go through since I am “allowed” to operate full capacity. My landlord can demand all their money, since I am allowed to fully operate. Furloughed staff that is collecting unemployment insurance have to come back to work or I have to let them go. Their unemployment insurance then goes on my tab. If things blow up again, they are still on my tab not on the states, since they are no longer employed. Guys, this is about screwing the working class and small business, not about helping us."

 

I don’t think anyone is missing the point, seems like it was poorly presented.

 

First, I have already explained why you shouldn't be so reliant on trends of 1 day. However, beyond that, this is untrue. A decline in the number of new cases does not necessarily mean that the disease is not expanding, it just means that it is doing so at a slower rate. It could be expanding or it could be contracting depending on the rate of resolution. So if only 20K people were resolved today through death or recovery, then it would still be expanding. If 30k were resolved today, then it would have contracted today.

 

Snark gone wrong, stop digging

 

Members of Kemp’s coronavirus task force didn’t know about his order to reopen businesses
