March Madness and Covid-19

[mict085]

Ok... lets take a look at this chart.

You are saying we are doing better than other countries because of this metric, right?

You can’t really look at the case fatality rate early on because it will show a much higher death rate than what it actually is because of multiple factors. Mainly, not enough testing and with Covid, not testing asymptotic carriers. As we move forward and test more asymptotic people as well as more testing in general, the fatality rates will continue to go down. We’ll have to wait and see when it’s all over what the real fatality rate is, but some current projections are between 0.2-0.5%. Still worse than the flu but not as bad as originally thought.

you realize it's not a contest? many countries had their crap together enough to...

You say this isn't a contest, and then proceed to compare us to other countries in the very next sentence. It's a good thing this isn't a competition, because you are not keeping up.

whatever you say.

I'm interested to see what happens over the next two weeks. Logic tells us that deaths should start to come up in Oklahoma. What if cases continue to drop off? Does that tell us the spikes were from protests? What if they stay elevated? Does that tell us they were from opening back up?

Time will tell and not forked tongues.

Yes sir. This is what I've been saying for the past week or two. We need to give it a little more time, and see if the hospitalizations and deaths jump back up. I personally don't think they will. At least, not on par with how the "cases" have spiked. And that would be great news.

That seems to be the recent trend. For today, there are 34,555 new cases (way too many), but only 288 deaths. That's another day of less than 1%...definitely a good sign, but need this continue. I think we'd all love for this virus to weaken...since it doesn't look like the overall numbers are going down anytime soon.

I agree for we've been punished enough by not just the virus, but vitriolic people and their quest and thirst for power. For me one is worse than the other on certain levels for one makes it hard to trust some people.

Why are all these viruses coming out of China? WTH are they doing?

COVID has increased because of riots.
COVID has increased because of reopening.
COVID deaths will increase because the recent increase in infection incidence.
COVID death rates likely will NOT be as high as they were.

Which would save more lives in the long run:

A). People who are more at risk being quarantined for the next 18 months to 2 years in the hope that a vaccine is developed and everyone else 'developing' herd immunity'.

or

B) People who are more at risk being quarantined and everyone else wearing masks until a vaccine is developed.

I understand the worries about the economy and depression. Everyone in my family is very fortunate and can work from home 100% but I know that's not true for lots of people. But I don't understand why some who want everything to open up aren't willing to wear a mask in public when it's been proven to slow down the transmission of the virus.

It’s becoming more apparent the riots and protests have helped spike Covid cases. Of course, liberals will still maintain that’s not the case and be hypocrites about the whole thing. If your a liberal gathering for a liberal cause, you’re immune to Covid. If you’re a conservative, you’re killing people and destroying the nation. It’s hypocrisy.

I have no doubt that Covid has been spread to people through protests, but to blame it primarily on that makes absolutely no sense.

Let me give you one example to prove my point. One Walmart will typically have up to 10,000 customers in a single week, on average. About 1,500 customers per day.

There are 84 walmarts in Oklahoma.

1,500 people per day x 84 walmarts = 126,000 people PER day going into walmarts. Many not wearing masks. Touching boxes, shelves, toilets, produce, shopping carts, etc.

Now think about that number and add:

• Quiktrips
• Kum & GO
• Reasors
• Target
• Lowes
• Home Depot
• Bed Bath and Beyond
• Best Buy
• Banks
• Mathis Brothers
• Tulsa Zoo
• Aquarium
• Fast Food Restaurants
• Sit Down Restaurants
• Playgrounds
• Salons
• Haircut places
• Gyms
• Bars
• CVS
• Walgreens
• Sprouts
• The Mall
• Sams
• Costco

The number of people protesting in Oklahoma is probably less than 200 total people PER DAY. 1,500 people will go into ONE walmart store today. They will also go into all t hese other stores, restaurants, shops, etc.

Does Covid spread at a protest? Absolutely. Is it statistically ANYWHERE near on the level of what I listed above? No. It's a fraction. A molecule. An atom.

What would you expect from the "party of convenience."

Most of the places you mentioned were never shut down

Another new record today

- 13,757 cases (+585)
- 387 deaths (+2)
- 315 hospitalizations (as of 6/29)
- 4.4% positive rate (as of 6/29)

That 4.4 is not the positivity rate, that’s the percent increase in cases. The positivity rate right now is 6.7%.

Mathis Brothers? Now that's funny. You forgot to include Haimy's Acupuncture Emporium.
