General COVID-19 Talk #3 NHL Qualifiers begin August 1 MOD Warning

That's why i say that both sides are full of it and worthless. It's all about selling to voters to get elected / re-elected and growing power. Not about true change and helping out the people.

BTW, i agree with the comment made about actions being important (louder than words). However, as a leader of something, you lead the masses by your words. That's where Ronald Reagan was so great -- he lead the nation with his words and confidence (not misleading....but confidence to believe that we are actually great).

i'd like to see this same argument equally applied to people like cuomo, deblasio and pelosi, that's my thing

certain folks are ready and willing to dump it on trump while willfully ignoring pelosi telling folks to continue tourism to chinatown and cuomo/deblasio not even requiring masks on the MTA until what, nearly may?

the effusive "trust the science" people could stand to direct some anger towards their side of the aisle's failures as well

My message is not partisan. You're assuming that.

It's why at the end of my post I said "Maybe even more so because all the agencies and people empowered can't get on board with a consistent message." The whole leadership thing is getting flushed by everyone, whether it's by actions, words, or example. Systematic failure from top to bottom. I was only responding above to the idea that there was an effective federal response. There wasn't. That's doesn't mean they're the only ones with fault either though.

I don't know about revisionism. In a tweet on January 14, the WHO was still telling the world the virus couldn't be transmitted from human to human.

Did someone know different? I don't know. Should they have suspected something different? Yes.

I agree, see above. What I'm saying is acting like Trump had it together and was only acting to save everyone from panic and that his actions were vital is revisionist. That response left a lot to be desired. Everyone sucked. Everyone for the most part still sucks and no one is coming to save us.

Number are most definitely trending down here. There was no real Labor Day spike as feared. On another note, I finally know someone who has COVID. My niece, who went back to grad school in Utah, where folks are just reckless with distancing and mask protocols. Caught from a half-ass mask wearing classmate during a group meeting session indoors. Just cold symptoms so far for her. Her fiance had headaches for 1 day and that was it. They're 7 days in.

hopefully the symptoms stay that mild


Today is the 2 week mark from Labor Day so we should be a Matthew McConaughey level of cool

Yeah, we hope so. Of course, the idiot suspected she might have it, but went ahead and exposed her classmates anyway. Then found out a few days later and informed them all of the positive test result. Common sense is in short supply in 2020.

We just qualified for t2, things will be loosening up in a few weeks. Sometimes deaths take a while to investigate, so I am guessing the bigger numbers are just a byproduct of those days with less than 2 deaths. That's why they do the 7-day rolling.

I'm at a school of a little over 2K, and not a lot of students are out with exposure. There are only about 500 on campus at any one time, and I would say maybe 30 out of the 2200 or so are remote learning because of something related to COVID. In many of those cases they have an older sibling in college that was living it up and got infected. One of them had me laughing about how pissed his mom was that they all had to sit in the house for 2 more weeks because his college brother couldn't keep his ass out of the bar.

Good point


on a side note, it is cool if we make this your theme song?

Absolutely.

 

[Lt Dan]

Remembering that my daily updates are the date reported, this chart is the day the deaths happened.

Damn



SNF deaths are in there too

That jump is non SNF deaths from early June to late August was the "it ain't real phase" and the influx of patients from Mexico.
Notice that the SNF deaths really dipped during this period. It's like they managed to keep it out and then

And the deaths spiked back up

Monday was 14 days after Labor Day. Not a huge surprise to see some numbers jump. What we see in the next two weeks will tell us if it's a holiday blip or a sign of increasing infections. If the spike is holiday related and temporary, we're going to be in really good shape.
