Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

Good for you.

 

That’s Mr. Chris to you.
I wish, its frozen nuggets and a can of black beans for me tonight.

 

When did you transition?!?

 

Germany has mask kiosks. Because they are actually taking appropriate steps to slow the spread.

 

Singapore too. We can’t even get the President to act on masks.

 

When the amount of time to get test results back varies by days, retroactively reporting them by the day they were administered would be a logistical nightmare. And certain posters here would then complain that they were going back and fiddling with the numbers instead of just telling us the facts.

Reporting tests on the day the results come in tells the same story as adjusting previous days results according to when the test was administered.

 

From my viewpoint mankind is so full of hubris. There is only so much we can do to minimize this and let’s face the reality that we’re all gonna die of something.
Rest easy fellow covidians, the sun may or may not rise tomorrow.

 

I hope it's a matter of the virus weakening. A solid indicator of that as fact would go a long way toward schools opening in the fall. Here are the three day increases . . .

World fatalities leapt back up in the latest interval, as did U.S. fatalities. If deaths lag behind cases by as much as a couple weeks, we might be getting some bad news over the next couple of weeks. Side note: Taiwan (pop. 23 million) has been sitting at 7 fatalities (yes - SEVEN) for about two months. Meanwhile in the U.S. . . .

I hope this helps them plan better for the school year.

Santa Clara County meeting that exposed 40 principals to coronavirus raises red flags

 

Except other countries have controlled it. Is it really hubris when the roadmap exists, and has been demonstrated in the real world?

While this is a new virus and the science isn’t perfect for an easy/quick fix, its not like this thing is beyond human or scientific comprehension entirely.

 

I actually recall a chart from like 2 months ago that showed all the different curves in different regions/states and it was predicting a bunch of states would peak in July. Now we are in July.

It's like people didn't realize states were on different curves, when New York City got their mess under control, a bunch of other areas falsely thought the whole pandemic was behind us when in reality in many regions it was still in front of them.

 

Most countries are doing a reasonable job. We’re in the worst category along with Brazil and Russia. Considering our wealth and talent, it seems clear that we have had the most incompetent leadership of any developed country with respect to the handling of this disease.

Scientists say strain of coronavirus dominant around the world is different than what was seen in Wuhan

 

no kiosk here but we have a store that just opened up in the mall that just sells PPE.

 

I haven't heard the "more cases because more testing" screech in awhile. I think the following charts demonstrates two scenarios where that claim can be rebutted. One, where the increase in cases far exceeds the increase in testing. The other where there's an inverse correlation.

 

I remember that, and that was great! I was curious what CCH's takeaway was.

 

Something I was listening to said testing has only gone up 10% on average in the country, though varies state by state.
