Maine wedding ‘superspreader’ event is now linked to seven deaths. None of those people attended.

 

Looks like six of the fatalities have occurred w/in the Maplecrest Rehabilitation and Living Center in Madison, Maine. This illustrates the danger of the virus due to its spread rate. With schools opening up, we will likely see more and more of this. Imagine, one child goes to school w the virus. They spread it to 10 children in their primary classroom and two staff members. Each of those individuals go home and spread it to two more people, who spread it to more people. Among those dozens of newly infected is one or more health care providers, who bring it to a facility. And here we go . . . more fatalities.

 

Another potential superspreader event? Trump's MAGA rally in Henderson, NV. Note the masks and social distancing (or more accurately, lack thereof).

Also looks like around one-third or so are in the high risk age group.

 

just be sure you show the next peaceful protesters doing the same thing, like the march on washington last month

 

White House Staff Members Reportedly Test Positive For COVID-19 Less Than 24 Hours After President Donald Trump Visited Philadelphia

 

Photos of the March on Washington. Looks to me like most of them are wearing masks even if not social distancing.

 

go back and find the one with all the masses in the tidal pool, looked like the great unwashed at the ganges river

 

OSU AD. If you want football, wear masks...damn shame all the AD's across America didn't say this 3 months ago

 

They conveniently cut the part where he passed out and died immediately after. These masks are real killers.

 

Trump claiming Redfield told him he was wrong about masks. Redfield came out and said he wasn't. Wonder how much longer Redfield will be in place

 

Looks like the “data” has improved so now the PAC 12 wants to play.

 

Check out this article from USA TODAY:

Opinion: Big Ten's decision to play football signals darkest day in conference's sports history

Big Ten football decision marks darkest day in conference's history

This is quite possibly the dumbest article I have ever read in USAToday in the 30+ years I’ve been reading the paper. Brennan might want to read up on Sandusky and Nassar just to name 2 much darker clouds over the Big Ten.

 

holding death rates tells me the number of new cases is dropping, or at least staying stable, less cases to divide deaths into means stabilization or maybe if cases drop a minimal rise, still, imo, good news.

 

My prediction, (made about 8 weeks ago) was 300K dead by Jan 1st and I seem to be on target. Probably low in the estimate.

Any of you Pubs want to take this on? I recall you laughing about this prediction.
