Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

Sunday is not the best day for accurate numbers, but the three day increases are down. I'm posting just the July numbers. Perhaps this will keep up.

These are interesting graphs comparing the 4 outbreak states to NY. Hopefully those 4 states keep going south with regard to cases.

 

Today's game has been cancelled, you would think the next 14 days will also have cancellations with 14 people associated with the team testing positive.

 

A problem with a “no fear” let’s open up etc is that hospitals have to triage like this.

Trump’s national security advisor tested positive today.

 

Sure. My hourly rate is astronomic and I work at a snail's pace.

 

I'm not concerned for the POTUS. He never actually meets with advisors. He watches OAN all day and makes moves on the fly. In between golf outings, that is.

 

Crazy. 9 times more likely to be killed in Chicago by gun violence than Covid if you are 18-29 years old.

 

Gonna cross 150k dead here in the next few hours.

 

Too bad they can't choose either/or; they get to deal with both simultaneously... I wouldn't leave the house if I somehow got stuck up there.

 

Just happened. Bleak milestone.

 

So what is the problem? This America!! Land of the Free and home of the "I do not give a damn about anyone else but me"!! Asking me to care about my fellow American sounds entirely too Socialist for us!!

 

we have almost the same number of deaths as spain, italy, france, germany, and the uk combined, at roughly the same total population, but have more than 3 million more cases, so it looks like we are much, much better than those nations in death rate, so, imo, that is good.their death rate is around 12%, ours about 3.4%. so, who would you rather be like, us or them?

 

id rather be like Germany, South Korea, and every other country that got it right.

 

Since "them" are back to somewhat normal life without 65,000 new cases a day, I'd rather be them.

 

as for germany getting it right, they have, right now a 4.5% death rate, and my math is not harvard style, but 3.4 is better than 4.5
