I can’t believe people are going to comedy clubs.

Let’s go sit in a low ceiling room where hundreds of people are constantly expelling their breath for two hours. Let’s go do a spinning class in a closet next.

Infections skewing younger (plus Dexamethasone) explains why there's probably now a lower IFR.

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.

Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, told NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday that he does not believe the coronavirus pandemic in the United States will ease over the summer or in the fall.

Driving the news: The country on Saturday reported more than 33,000 new cases of the coronavirus — the highest total since May 1 — despite claims from Trump administration officials that concerns over a second wave of the virus are "overblown." Osterholm countered that he believes a second or third wave of coronavirus is unlikely because the first wave has yet to slow down.

What he's saying: "I'm actually of the mind right now — I think this is more like a forest fire. I don't think that this is going to slow down," he said. "Wherever there's wood to burn, this fire is going to burn, and right now we have a lot of susceptible people."

Osterholm added that he does not think the influenza model of multiple waves applies to the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S.
"Right now, I don't see this slowing down through the summer or into the fall. I don't think we're going to see one, two and three waves. I think we're just going to see one very, very difficult forest fire of cases."
The big picture: As of Sunday afternoon, the country has reported more than 2.2 million coronavirus cases — the highest caseload in the world — and has suffered at least 119,744 deaths from the virus.

The European Union, which has a population of around 446 million, is seeing average new confirmed case numbers of around 4,000 per day, compared to about 24,000 for the U.S.
This is at least in part attributable to increased testing by the U.S., but there are surges in infections in several states that outpace the growth in testing. The U.S., which has a total population of around 328 million, has conducted around 26 million coronavirus tests since the beginning of the pandemic.

The UK accounts for about 1/3rd of those EU cases too. Unless they're not counted because taking back control etc.

The uptick in cases seems to primarily be in the 18-65 age group.

Not, one, but two, corona deniers were in line in front of me at the grocery store.  The dude in front of me was not standing 2 meters from the guy in front of him, and he came up to me and was like 'This social distancing thing.  You tell a 20-year-old man to stand in a red circle but not a 40-year-old man.  Right?'  I just stared and said no.  Then when the guy in front of him was leaving he agreed and said 'Ya this social distancing thing is just a social experiment' to the guy that was talking to me.   Like what the fuck. 

I also did not like the implication that he might have assumed I was in the superior 40-year-old group.

TBH, I'm 99% fine with my age.  I wish my hairline wasn't receding, but it's going pretty slowly and only at the corners though.  I did buy dye but that's because my white hairs are all curly and so they stand out when I have long hair and look messy.  With shorter hair, it just looks a bit highlighted.

Mexico just isn't testing. This can also be seen in its ratio of confirmed cases to confirmed deaths today: +5,343 cases and +1,044 deaths.

Brazil's ratio of total tests to positives is really bad, too. And with far more cases in total.

The US is at 127 times more new cases than Canada and 87 times more deaths.

we had a particularly good day for deaths with only 4, usually more like 10-20 times

People keep saying this, but it's pretty clear Trump got it early on and was just one of the majority % of people that catch it (even elderly people that catch it!) and have minimal to no symptoms like a cold. There's no fairness to the universe. There was one press conference early on where he seemed like he had a cold and that was probably it.

Just rolling the die with statistics it was always unlikely he'd end up getting on an ICU or anything if he caught Covid and the way he took like no precautions and met with tons of sick people and the white house was full of covid positive people at times, it's more likely that he caught it in the first month or so.
