Yup. Except for that Maxwell response, I thought he did very well. Gave a lot of information. It helped that the press was fairly well behaved. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling he was not sure who they were talking about, and he went for the "political response" of "wish her well." This is what happens when old failing guys are in the big seat. Biden will make the same kind of mistakes. Trump gritted his teeth hard today and tried to play grown-up. Good luck with the image remake in July.

But you can't. So we follow the numbers we can track. Given how many cases are asymptomatic or low symptom, case tracking is only a rough indicator of future deaths. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the numbers, we will break 1000 deaths today assuming CA reports more later like they usually do. Looking at the list of top states, almost all did not get the initial rush. Arizona has always seemed to really increase on new deaths on Tuesdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuesday is almost always the high day (not always but usually). It's super clear which day is Tuesday on this--the jump after Sunday and Monday is one of the only nearly 100$% predictable patterns. Blame the unions for the weekends off. Edited July 21, 2020 by shoshin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

123719bwiqrb Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 We’re going to hit 300k coronadead before the end of 2020 - obviously including all the motorcycle accidents, murders, etc. Too bad we couldn’t pull together like we did in WWII. We would have halved that number with a better “war” like response. Instead it’s all about Trump, always. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd brush it off. Just like we brush aside cancer survivors now. Get a grip. If you really sat and thought about it you'd figure out why be bring up the death statistics. Wait....what am I thinking. Of course you won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 WALL STREET JOURNAL: Arizona and the Media Panic: When will reporters acknowledge lower coronavirus mortality in the Sun Belt? According to the Post’s data, per capita Covid-19 deaths in Florida, Texas and Arizona remain far below the levels in New York and New Jersey. In fact the Post website shows that per capita deaths in both New York and New Jersey are more than 10 times the number in Texas.

The death toll was going to be highest wherever got hit hard first. And NJ's deaths were all NY Metro counties, so that's the most populous area of America, totally unique in our entire country. CA has a similarly low death rate and it's being hit at about the same time as FL/TX. 34 minutes ago, Penfield45 said: yes its what every scientist and medical professional predicted would happen. deaths are starting to creep up because they lag weeks behind spikes in cases. So far, deaths are only increasing in places that never got hit. We can all hope that the high deaths don't return to anyplace that had big peaks before. *** In other news, current hospitalizations are just about to break their previous record.
