Coronovirus IV

[Ingomike]

eh... increasing cases suggest a failure of tracing and remediation right?

increasing cases without increasing admission suggests the virus is weakening as is typical. or they are combining antibody tests and actual acute infective tests.

I suspect the later. They need it for media panic porn...

Rising deaths in Arizona in the last three days. Hopefully not a sign of things to come for the next couple weeks

I realize all the bad that has happened, is still happening and potentially will continue to happen with this virus.

But I wanna go to Ruby Tuesday's for the salad bar and I definitely want to go to a Chinese buffet again.

Then go!!
But be prepared for it not to be the same.
I've been to red robin, schools (local burger joint in NWI), round the clock (local resturant in nwi) and the environment is different.

All gave me paper photocopy menus.
All gave me disposable silverwear.
No ketchup bottles on the tables.
Ketchup came in the little packages or a small container.

It felt like ordering carry out but eating it there vs somewhere else.

Very few folks in the places. Masks on everyone on staff.
It felted odd, out of place.

Wait, what? That's kinda the opposite of what I said.

I'm not sure about the latter, but as to the former, that is a factor that may be in play. We always knew that the reported mortality rate was too high, we just weren't sure by how much.

It appears that one factor in the higher reported cases is that we are catching more of the asymptomatic cases, too. The people who previously were told to stay home and may or may not have been tested (or listed as presumptive) are now getting the cheap/free tests, so their number are being reported more accurately.

Notwithstanding the AZ situation, and there's no doubt there will be local hotspots, the US overall is trending in a positive direction on this IMHO. Most potential hotspots should have contingency plans in case for a spike, so we are FAR better prepared than we were 4 months ago.

For sure the public is better terrorized.

We would make a mistake to believe that transmission peaked everywhere in the country in the same couple of weeks.

I’ve said this before and I’ll ay it again, this is not unexpected. Southern Arizona is filled with people right in the sweet spot. 60-90 with breathing issues (why they moved to the arid desert to start with). I would be shocked and amazed if it didn’t increase. Unless you lock down forcibly everyone in on place for months on end it’s not going away.

And they're all inside with air conditioning this time of year.

What I’m real curious to see after this is all over are the total deaths for the year world wide and countries. 57M people died last year. 150+k every day. How has this impacted that number? I believe this is referred to as excessive deaths. How many extra actually died due to this? I think the worldwide number is close to 500k now? For a population just short of 8B people. Odds are pretty good here for the masses.

Correction: Locking down forcibly only lengthens the time over which people will get sick while harming people's psychological and financial health. It can not stop the disease.

Bingo! The virus is going to kill those that it intends to kill. Delay or no delay wont stop that.

I keep hearing about "resurgence", but I'm not so sure. Take Arizona, which is often cited. According to this graph, to me it looks like it is hitting (or has just hit) it's FIRST peak, and wouldn't you know...it's when testing has gone through the roof.

Panic porn.

Texas to pause reopening as hospitals are inundated with new coronavirus cases, Gov. Abbott says.

 

[bwframe]

How many of these new transmissions are the result of this crazy mask trend with wearers constantly touching their faces?

I thought that too.

Turn of the power grid in AZ. and cook it out.

New Jersey apparently reported about 1,800 deaths attributed to COVID.

That's a blip in the numbers, but doesn't really throw things into disarray overall.

I’m not so sure. The top age group in this latest surge is 18-44. Gee. What were a lot of people in that age group doing 2 weeks ago across the nation?

A graph of the recent Austin outbreak shows little hospitalization growth as they went through the early phases of opening up, but a clear growth in cases starting 10-12 days after protests started:
