It makes me laugh that Chicago is blaming their shit numbers on Indiana. Its not great here, but come on.
This can't be correct ROCK COUNTY, Wis. (WTVO) — In the last 24 hours, Rock County health officials reported a one-day coronavirus positivity rate of 83%.

Oh shit. Everybody stop and read this https://www.princeton.edu/news/2020...5FF-c9Gy_DHcRzu4nHNc4F734xu3I0dzJjSBvKSqcuXGo
Explains in detail how Florida has artificially manipulated their number to make things look better and justify opening back up
So these daily case numbers are looking pretty bad. I was struggling to see how we could get to 400k dead by year’s end but it might just happen. That model prediction was from weeks ago, has it been updated?
IHME/UW has theirs at 395,000 by Feb. '21. https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america?view=total-deaths&tab=trend
It's so annoying how these morons keep giving the benefit of the doubt to the worst humans on the planet. "How dare you suggest that people who do awful shit that fucks up people's lives would do something awful that could fuck up people's lives."
That's supposed to be the "non political" one so the people who acted like you had two heads for suggesting that was what was going on made sense
Not you. Passerbys to the thread. Starts here... https://www.the-mainboard.com/index.php?threads/covid-19-info-thread.179734/page-117#post-15654282
Question hoping someone can answer. Numbers are from worldometer regarding Florida. We have been averaging on the high end about 3,000 new cases a day for quite a while. If the standard time to kick the virus is 14 days then how does FL have over 200k active cases? Shouldn’t it be under 50k based on the math?
no one really tracks active cases. It’s a statistic I would completely ignore. Ideally it would be tracked but plenty of people get the positive test, isolate (hopefully) and then never come in contact with a medical professional again. I don’t know if they clear them as non-active after a certain amount of time but it’s just not a statistic they are properly keeping.
Florida’s numbers just never fully made sense. Even now, the amount of deaths per case (even though deaths lag 4-8 weeks) doesn’t make sense. Far too many deaths per recorded case when compared to other states if you take out the first 2 months when no one really knew what was going on. deaths shouldn’t still be averaging about 100 a day with the reported cases per day. University of Washington is estimating that Florida is missing 75-80% of the cases which is a crazy high number.
^ Haven't been following FL closely. Def not testing as much as July/Aug http://arctic.som.ou.edu/tburg/products/covid19/
their death to hospitalization rate is way off too. Most states are averaging around 1.5%-2.5%. FL is at 4.5%.
They is no set definition for "active cases." Some states consider anybody who isn't dead and tested positive within the last 30 days to be an active case. Florida might be 60 days, because those numbers seem to line up.
Yes, they updated it last Friday. It projects 330,000 deaths by January 1, and 394,000 by February 1. The slope is sharply increasing.
We are seeing hospital capacity issues in the Salt Lake Valley. The top hospital here has more COVID patients today than it has had on any other day. They are creating more beds because the census got down to one available bed. The bigger issue is staffing. They don’t have the staff to meet quality standards. The current staff is, frankly, exhausted. Last night there was a news story about a woman whose heart stopped during the night. She was rushed to the nearest hospital. That one didn’t have the means to treat her. It took them 2 hours to find a hospital that did AND have room for her.
Man it's so much fun living in hell world. You can either die of poverty, a roving insane right wing gunman AND NOW a Virus that our government refuses to do a god damn thing about. So awesome
So lower flight costs to entice me, bitch. I’m planning to travel to Europe late next year-ish, discount me, motherfucker.
I wonder if he's talking more about reduced business travel more than anything else. I feel like tourist demand will be back pretty much as soon as the vaccine is widespread.
A lot of people have had/are having their savings significantly eaten into as a result of this. Vacation plans might be put on hold.
I've got friends going to an indoor haunted house in Bama this weekend. I've tried since March to convince them how serious this is and it's just not getting through.
Wisconsin’s 3,747 coronavirus cases sets new one-day record 24.6% positive too Today's numbers compare as follows: Texas hitting 18,735 per day Florida hitting 13,930 per day New York state hitting 12,575 per day Goodness me
53k before TX (7 day avg of 4.3k) and incomplete reporting from CA (at 1,126, 7 day avg of 3.3k), among a handful of other states without numbers yet. So we’re gonna crack 60k for sure, only the fourth time since beginning of August.
Work at a law firm in Denver. After the stay at home orders ended one partner (super right wing) was basically like everyone back in the office. Myself and one other of the 10 attorneys are masking. The rest of the attorneys/paralegals/support staff...none at all. (This also violates Colorado's mask order) I've been trying to work remotely a few days a week just so I can avoid that disaster. Worked in office full days Monday-Wednesday of this week (was the only attorney who did so), and was working remotely today, and planning to do so tomorrow. Said partner schedules a client meeting for tomorrow at 10am in office. Asks me if I can attend and I respond I was planning to work remotely tomorrow but will absolutely come to the meeting. Get an e-mail back stating that they wish and expect that I will be in the office more frequently. It's infuriating that people don't take this seriously.
