Georgia now up to 1,242 new cases today, which is sixth worst in the US today (Massachusetts numbers aren't up on https://www.worldometers.info/).

Yup, time to open up the gyms.

We're fucked, can't try and scare people as they are both tired of it and see the disconnect, can't not as people are dumb and won't even pause without. Hopefully it isn't as bad as expected and the distancing done thus far helps.

I honestly do believe it's time for less SKY IS FALLING reporting, it just plays into the fake news narrative. The only thing that will change anything are death numbers, and by the time it would change anything it would likely be late in the game.

USA aside, the numbers in Russia and Turkey aren't looking too good right now. They're both getting more daily cases than anybody else [other than USA and UK]. Brazil is continue to tick up, too, and they've got extremely limited testing.

Other countries further down the list to keep an eye on:

Saudia Arabia, Singapore, and Belarus. All three have percentage increases in daily new cases.

I never said to stop telling the truth. That's actually what I want more of, and I think stuff like what the Boston Globe did where they printed 15 pages of obits is honestly the best way forward. I am really talking about all of the editorializing...the headlines are just dumb and shrill, if there are numbers let them do the talking.

The current state of cable news isn't helping anything. It really reminds me of the weather channel in disasters where there is not much actual news, just commentators freaking people out and looping whatever narrative.

surrender all hope and optimism

Maybe came off that way, but really am not fatalistic or anything? I am optimistic that we have avoided the worst-case scenario. I just wish people would like, wear masks.  :doge

You guys are going to ride wave 1 right through the summer and wave 2 will start up right when elections start.

question is, is this good or bad for the election?

Trump is championing reopening, and if the highest number of deaths suddenly come as a result of reopening right around election time, does that push people who weren't gonna vote into getting him out of office

however what does a second wave do to the actual election/voting

old people vote Trump but maybe they'll all be too busy dying in hospitals

smart people don't vote Trump but smart people also social distance

just wonder how it will shake out

thats one of the main issues i've been thinking about since this thing started. my pessimistic side tells me it's gonna be a bloodbaath for the dems cause like you said, they'll be the main ones taking this seriously and will be afraid to go out in large public spaces.

but we actually have one seemingly big data point that points to the opposite conclusion. the elections we had in WI had like around 200k more dems voting than reps. and that was with the worst voting fuckery in the country. maybe it's possible that despite the best efforts of trump, fox and their allies, lots of republicans are in fact, taking this as seriously as democrats, and contrary to what i thought, they may be just as, if not MORE frightened to go out and vote.

The most realistic scenario is that this all blows over by the summer with barely anymore deaths, and by November the rallies are of historical sizes packed into even smaller spaces as everyone is immune, and because all the voters spent their time in lockdown studying the issues and candidates they turnout at 95%.

Ontario
cases 11,735(+551)
Deaths 622 (+38)
Backlog 5,546 (+1,747)
Patients hospitalized 859 (+57)

New cases down slightly, but deaths, backlog of tests, and hospitalizations up.

Quote
All of that might be moot if the testing devices used in both surveys turn out to be flawed. The results come amid widespread concerns about the accuracy of blood antibody tests—especially the rapid lateral flow tests like the ones used in this study. The Stanford preprint referred to a test from Premier Biotech, based in Minneapolis, but that company is only a distributor. The firm that makes the test, Hangzhou Biotest Biotech, was previously identified by NBC as among those recently banned from exporting Covid-19 tests because its product hasn’t been vetted by China’s equivalent of the FDA. A representative for Premier Biotech confirmed to WIRED that the same test was used by the Stanford and USC researchers. (On Monday, a USC spokesperson emailed WIRED a statement from Neeraj Sood, the lead researcher, acknowledging the test’s origins and noting they were exported legally, prior to the ban.)

At Stanford, the researchers performed their own validation of the tests and found only false negatives, not false positives. But, as a chorus of statisticians have noted (including one who concluded his analysis by demanding an apology from the researchers for wasting everyone’s time), even a low false positive rate would wipe out the significance of their results. Representatives for Stanford declined to make the researchers available for follow-up questions, including whether they planned to retest the positive individuals.

No, the number of tested is too small for a paper, but they felt the news was big enough for a press release. It's a follow up study from a few weeks earlier where 4% tested positive. They also tested using blood donated before the outbreak and had no positives.
They also noted that they are sure there are no false positives, but likely a few false negatives so the actual number will be slightly higher.

The second and third items are purely based on mathematical models, but apparently they independently reached similar results, so that's somewhat reassuring.

Uncle, i have no idea what to tell you. I can only assume he had access to the same information you do when he talked about herd immunity.

listening to The Daily - Record for the fastest human vaccine was 4 years to create.  Also, the idea that it will die off in the summer is countered by the fact that it is in hot climates right now. 

edit:  Yesterday's episode of the NYT's The Daily podcast 'The Next Year (or two) of the Pandemic' is really interesting

Quebec

If Quebec were a US state, it would be among the ten worst in terms of fatalities.
