... increase in deaths rates in these areas expected.

Very troubling and it's a choice to do the right thing.

Did that doctor say anything about the women's March over the weekend

 

[nowisthetime]

That's the Repugs problem.

Hey you Assholes riddle me this.

If Trumps handling of the Covid is so bad...WTF happened in all the other countries of the world?

Trump does not run them.

Well?

Well?

Name another country that has 4% of the world population but 25% of the world deaths.

I’ll wait.

Well?

I mean... Less people died there, per thousand. Trump does not run them, so they handled COVID better.

You'll have to excuse FGB. He's a little, shall we say, slow.

As fuckUfan said, "The reason it's high is because more testing." So according to fuckUfan if they didn't test there would be no virus.

The UK had one of the worst death rates per 100,000 in the world.

Not any more. The US has a higher ratio and it is increasing fast.

I think you agree with me, mate. We're both on the side of thinking what FGB said was dumb?

Yep - as usual.

It's all them people going to Trump rallies!

It sure as hell ain't Bidens!

Americans are stubborn assholes and resent being told what to do.

It's costing them sickness and death.

Even Trump can't fix that...

This is a good question and worth using as a comparison.

Many other Countries did get a pretty good handle on the transmission rate by later Spring and through the Summer. Their numbers and rates of increase and fall we're similar to.places like NYC, Nj, California around the same time but our drops seemed to lag behind their drops by a few weeks to a month.

They seem to be having a second wave.

We seem to be having one two now but our wave never subsided to numbers like theirs except in a few places...again, NYC, NJ, Pa, Vt and other places.

You have multiple posts since I asked you why you thought the post I had with the chart was political. You chose not to answer and I am not surprised.

 

[butters]

scientists fully expected a second wave, maybe even a third later on as has been seen before in pandemics

the main difference between the rest of the world and america is their second waves are starting from much lower base-rates of infection--because their gov'ts and their people put in the work necessary to get there. they didn't like it. it was hard. it was expensive on many levels. but not as hard as losing so many people to this that needn't have died and others who will go on to die because of the selfishness of certain leaders and certain populations.

like the 'spanish flu' of the 20th century, this second wave will hit more aggressively. the very best we can hope for is for people to do all they personally can to protect others and that safe&effective vaccines/treatments come available to as many as possible as soon as possible; a change in presidency is another hope. one that listens to the scientists instead of publicly scorning them and belittling their combined centuries' worth of knowledge when it comes to epidemiology. a president who will encourage, from the top down, the wearing of masks, the looking after of our fellow people. a message that should have been out there right from the start instead of the man with the world's biggest soapbox using his megaphone to spread misinformation, confusion and outright lies from his position of delusional grandeur.

The panic vanishes next month, and then bam, Black Friday mobs.

^^^Good post, and good hopes.

Florida's covid hospitalizations are the lowest since these data were releasedcapturing them hourly since July 10th. Florida has been reopened for 3 weeks, much to the chagrin of the print media in Florida. Today's total: 1,996. Cases aren't informative!

Hospitalizations are the key metrics.

NOT cases.

And NOT "daily death data dumps."

 

[Dribble]

Oh we have a new Trysail...posting graphs he doesn't understand.

Let me enlighten. When the virus first became prevalent, and we had many unknowns, we hospitalized every positive case. Now, we only hospitalize those having breathing issues. The rest, we send home and tell them to self-isolate. Is that decrease in "hospitalized patients" reflected in your graph? Yes. Does it reflect a decrease in the proportion of positive cases needing hospitalization? No. That isn't in your graph is it?

those stats are on the rise just about everywhere. plus there's the time-lag between someone contracting covid to getting sick enough to be hospitalised to recovery or death and their death being reported as a covid death statistic. a month is about the average time, though recoveries can take a whole lot longer and relapses are not unkown.
