Texas: record high 5,996 cases.

21% positivity rate

Surprised death rates haven't jumped back up yet, seems like it's been long enough they should have. Is that because of younger people getting it/more effective treatments/something else? Haven't seen much on the subject.

Cases skew much younger.
Deaths lag 2 to 3 weeks.
Better treatment options (such as simple steroids).
COVID-1 deaths treated as pneumonia deaths in states seeing a surge?
Better precautions for long-term care homes?

Yeah, my thoughts are that since younger people seem to be the ones getting it the most right now in terms of increases, and younger people have much smaller death %, that you'll see a ton of new cases, but not a ton of new deaths.

The problem is the secondary effect of all these young people infected then going on and interacting with older people who get infected makes it seem like the deaths will catch up though :|

The motherfuckers at United texted me to say "your flight tomorrow is fairly full. You can change your flight for no cost. Click here to see options"

And yes, they said "fairly full" and no other details.

So I click the link.

"No other itineraries found"

Mother. Fuckers.

Do they make you wear a mask when you fly? Also, do they sell on-flight scooba tanks so you don't have to breathe the sickness?

Presumably we'll be using the overhead oxygen masks from the safety videos

+ Cases are more spread out so no local collapse of health care system yet like in NY
+ Maybe smaller dark figure so more mild cases get detected

we can probably also shuffle respirators around somewhat at moment, can't you 'live' on those for months? it's not gonna really light until ICU's are overloaded, and even then gotta keep an eye on those dementia deaths.

A friend who’s uncle and grandmother just got clear of coronavirus was telling me that the doctor was telling him that one of the reasons the mortality rate is going down is that they are putting people on oxygen and ventilators a lot sooner than they were at first.

Force everyone to sign waivers that they can be sued if they infect you and make you lose money. They will be liable to recompense you plus any emotional damages.

If they love you, they will understand.

And we move into a busy summer weekend... and I have my doubts these hot spots are taking this seriously.

I think by end of July this is going to be an absolute disaster. It already is, so pick words more extreme than that. The entire world is just going to further solidify it's (correct) belief that the USA is full of arrogant morons.

People were right to take down Columbus statues, since he started this whole mess.
