Back in April, New York and New Jersey were contributing about half of it on their own.

Now it's a much more balanced effort. The US is playing the game the right way, like a team, and sharing the ball. You just love to see it.

I don't think so, because even in places that have "reopened" restaurant dining is down 40% and way more people will be wearing masks than in March.

Absolutely not betting you though. I don't need half a million dead bodies on my conscience.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #9075 on:** June 19, 2020, 07:49:40 PM »

I think there is going to be an issue where no one will care until the deaths jump and by that time you will have four or five states all being hit hard. And that takes like 2-3 months to come back from. There is also the issue of the election, not just rallies, but this will become even more political.

I don't have the data to back this up and obviously superspreader social events are important but I think the bigger vector is going to be the steady infection of people being at work... which is still most people, despite WFH increasing. The last time around it was a few locations that were huge epicenters, but this time every state will be chipping in to those death tolls. Even if most places have a lower growth rate than New York did at its peak, it can still be larger overall just because it's everywhere. And we're starting at 1000 deaths per day now, not ten a week.

I remember reading that article. One of the conclusions that if it was possible, wearing pants and underpants were probably effective enough filters to black transmission from farts. Which is more evidence that masks or any other filter you can place over your nose and mouth will help stop transmission from those open areas.

Hopefully nursing homes and retirement communities have gotten their shit together compared to when it first hit.

Suspect the change in testing rates is showing up a bit there too, though.

Yes, there’s probably about ten times as many tests per day as at around the start of the chart.

That's part of it, I'm sure, but on the other hand:

Quote from: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/17/texas-coronavirus-hospitalizations-surge-11percent-in-a-single-day.html

Texas coronavirus hospitalizations are now up more than 84% since Memorial Day as the state continues to reopen.

Quote

The number of people sickened with Covid-19 across Texas’ hospitals hit a new high Wednesday, surging about 11% in a single day.

Mandark · « **Reply #9093 on:** June 20, 2020, 01:28:47 PM »

Oh I don't think the change in testing is what's driving the spikes in AZ/FL/TX/NC/SC the last two or three weeks. The amount of testing hasn't changed that much, and the positive rate has spiked along with cases. Those places are spiking for real.

I mean looking at confirmed cases now vs. April and earlier when we had a much, much lower testing capacity and they were basically rationing tests. It's plausible that they were testing the most vulnerable patients which skewed the age distribution of official confirmed cases. I know a friend of a coworker got it in late March but they didn't give her a test because she's in her 20's and the advice was "act like you've got it, isolate, and only come to the hospital if it gets really bad."

I'm not entirely sure Europe is still fighting. Obviously we're not fighting right now as infections have fallen dramatically in most countries. However, most experts predict a second wave, and I'm not sure we'll be in lockdown the next time around. Especially considering there is a drug that is at least some way effective now. Cut deaths by one third. I have a feeling most leaders will say that's enough and call it quits. And I think most people will support it.

Read an article about an Italian doctor who has done research that indicates the virus has mutated and is less deadly as it continues to spread.
He has noticed how over the last couple of weeks even older 70+ patients fully recover while before they didn't.
