March Madness and Covid-19

[sheepdogs1]

Let me guess though...our bans are a joke and don't really matter but other countries' bans are needed and a necessity

Where did I say that?

I criticized the China ban for two reasons:

1. It wasn't a total ban, thousands of people still got in after the "ban."
2. The virus was already here and spreading.

I criticized the Europe travel ban for two reasons:

1. It excluded some countries that should have been included, like the UK.
2. It didn't go into effect for several days which prompted a massive influx of travelers from Europe who wanted to travel here before the ban went into effect.

you need to take those comments elsewhere. I am sure your hate plays really well in Bugtussle so just keep it there.

i never said you said it...i was guessing your response

Two days in a row of low positives...I'm guessing there was an issue with reporting and that we will get caught back up tomorrow.

But hopefully it is real data. It is only two days but you have to have two in a row before three in a row

Yeah, Sunday and Monday are usually the slow reporting days but hopefully it's the start of a trend.

Last week's mortality count was 6.8% higher than the previous week while the week before that the increase was 43.4% thus the rate has dropped precipitously, but it is just one week worth of data. Lets see if we can get a negative growth rate for the upcoming week. Also, last weeks death total was 14.8% higher than 4 weeks ago.

47.8% of all those infected who have survived the virus have recovered.


Turning to Oklahoma the deaths reported over the last two days is 1 and the number of new cases for Monday stands at 168.

I still think we had a lot more infected back in March/April then the numbers showed. We're just identifying more of them now through an increase in testing. That is why I really don't think you are going to see deaths around here skyrocket. We should have already seen an uptick, and we really haven't.

Testing is up 34%, cases are up 194%

And what are deaths up?

 

[steverocks35]

And what are deaths up?

The United States has seen a spike in deaths since July 15th, it looks like the spike in deaths is starting to mirror the spike in cases. As has always been the case everywhere. But of course, you are narrowly focused on deaths, as if that's the only possible bad outcome from this disease, which isn't true at all.

Nice back pedal on the deaths.

I’m not back pedaling at all, I said deaths are now rising since July 15th, mirroring their spike in cases from the previous few weeks.

I mean I can’t believe I still have to explain the concept that deaths lag cases and hospitalizations.

I was more talking about back pedaling from your initial "concern". Deaths are all you talked about when this thing started, and for quite some time. Then they never really materialized like you thought, so you slowly backed off that, and started talking about lasting health issues, something that hasn't even come close to being proven.

And the lag isn't matching up. That is a fact.

Deaths never materialized? We will probably have 150,000 deaths by Wednesday. They are putting bodies in refrigerated trailers dude.

This Covid crisis really hit the US in what, March? 5 months and 150,000 deaths. You don't think 30,000 people a month means it has materialized?

I think he is clearly takling about an uptick in deaths equivelent to the uptick in cases. The uptick in cases started over a month ago. Deaths are coming up, but thankfully not at the rate of new cases...yet

Oh I see... I didn't read their whole back and forth, just the latest comment.
