Not sure this will get an accurate representation. 10K in a controlled biological blood drawing study is not small. Sure 1M would be better but that would take an army of people to administer and you wouldn’t get the results for 9 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New York is much different than Florida and we are all in this I would hope rooting for everyone to succeed. Edited May 9, 2020 by shoshin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want Florida, Georgia, Michigan, and New York to come out of this well. We are a united country if we act like it. Eff the big city, Eff the hicks is no way to act especially in a pandemic. Whatever happened so far is going to take less unity than the unity required to dig out of the hole we are in now.

When we have wildfires out here in California we don’t ask people in Manhattan to close their restaurants. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Friday’s numbers show only five states with 100 deaths. I believe that’s the lowest I’ve seen. Of those, four (NY, NJ, Mass, PA) are essentially in the same small geographic region of a ver big country. The outlier is Illinois, and I guarantee their number is almost solely confined to Chicago. By the way, NY is down to about 1/4 of what it was at the peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Does the CDC have the ‘official’ figures? The CDC website shows the Covid death count for the first week of May down to the lowest number in two months. If that site is correct, and I assume it is, then curve has not only been flattened but it’s been reduced to a speed bump. You have to admit that Something’s fishy with how the various sites are reporting, but if the CDC site is inaccurate how is ANYONE making public policy? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear I was going to post this earlier this morning. I have a friend on FB who posted an article from Monday from CNN that’s headline was “Georgia opens up economy despite single highest day of infections” And since it was CNN I had to fact check it. That GA. Department of health link you just posted says it all. If you scroll down you can see the daily confirmed infections. Despite their testing going up, they have had 4 straight days of 300 or less infections and 7 days of less than 500. Look at that trend line. Impressive as hell. Georgia I thought may had been setting themselves up for failure not following White House guidelines but those numbers show that they are probably on the verge of opening up to the next level. As the data continues to pour in my view has changed from slowly opening up to a more rapid approach. The local/state/federal government should pull out all the stops to protect those at most risk. Focus on that and those on the frontlines and let’s get this show on the road. one other point, I saw an interesting stat today. The average age of the US person who dies is 78. The average age of someone who dies of the coronavirus is 79. Just found that stat to be interesting. Edited May 9, 2020 by Magox 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are much more meticulous in counting deaths than the sites like worldometer. So you can’t look at the CDC’s more recent data as complete. It is accurate as far as it’s been counted but it’s not all counted. Looking at the CDC for demographic trends is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very small at that If you can find a bigger well-run sample size that we can get results in while they still matter, let me know. This is a pretty massive study and given how excited people got about steely eyed taser testers, we should welcome any big study. The other data points on prevalence have all been smallish and uncontrolled dips in the pond of humanity. With any luck, we can get this data in 4-6 weeks. 24 minutes ago, Magox said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New York is much different than Florida and we are all in this I would hope rooting for everyone to succeed. You missed the point entirely aside from the data. Its about a double standard and pointing it out with facts. It’s about how the media covers Cuomo in the most glowing of terms despite his numerous missteps as opposed to “But Florida Beaches” relentless negative coverage of the Republican Trump supporting DeSantis who has handled this crisis as well as anyone despite all the teeth gnashing from the media. It’s about not being a punching bag and letting your enemies (which is the press when it comes to conservative politicians) and anyone who says otherwise is either being dishonest or naive, not allowing the media to punch you without punching them back in the jaw with the facts. This lack of kumbaya sentiment that you speak of ended the day that the media weaponized this virus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
