Coronavirus / Worse than RJKarl's Breath !!! (Not Really)

Must be true, then. Care to post a link to this tweet?

tweet tweet:

Florida, just for example...but if you are concerned about public health and corresponding policy, you can just google the state's name and "covid cases" to see that many of the states listed in your original tweet complaining that MSM hadn’t picked up on the story that case #s hadn't increased since states started reopening their economies are back on the increase now that we have another week or two of data. That assessment (that lock downs were inconsequential) was premature and frankly dangerous.

Percent of positive tests is trending higher, 10%+

Rt measure is now above 1.0, meaning it's spreading and not slowing in the state. Rt.live

NC has 14% of our ICU beds available. 86% are in use. Projections, via ACA, had NC with 40% vacancy on this date. https://covid19.ncdhhs.gov/dashboard/hospitalizations

You have all the tools to figure all of this out for yourself. Shit's about to get very real here.

You can't take FL's numbers seriously. One of the top state people for health was fired for not falsifying Covid numbers.

In general, I think you are correct that NC is definitely moving in the wrong direction. However, the ICU capacity is a bit misleading because essentially all the hospitals have opened up for nonessential surgeries, which can take ICU space post-operatively. If that gets shut down again, it will open up some ICU space.

The CDC shared results Friday from an online survey conducted in May that asked 502 adult U.S. residents about their cleaning and disinfecting practices.

Thirty-nine percent of participants admitted to engaging in high-risk practices in recent months to stop COVID-19 from spreading, according to the report.

Dangerous practices included washing food products with bleach, applying household cleaning or disinfect products to their bare skin and intentionally inhaling or ingesting various chemical products

The CDC survey said 6% reported drinking or gargling diluted bleach solutions, soapy water and other cleaning solutions to protect themselves from the virus. Ten percent said they inhaled vapors from household cleaners or disinfectants

The World Health Organization’s Covid-19 technical lead backtracked on her comment that asymptomatic transmission of the virus was “very rare”. “I think that it’s a misunderstanding to state the asymptomatic transmission globally is very rare,” Dr Maria Van Kerkhove said, noting modelling suggesting 40% of infections could be transmitted by people without symptoms.

I heard today that the issue is that we cannot identify an asymptomatic person vs a pre-symptomatic person. Therefore it is difficult to identify an asymptomatic person as contagious.

Yeah. Basically yesterday’s announcement was true but useless.

I did see some messages from folks in scientific communities who explained that the announcement would be misleading but that doesn’t reach media.

Coronavirus may have been in Wuhan in August

Coronavirus may have been present and spreading in Wuhan as early as August last year, according to a study that analysed satellite imagery of car parks outside major hospitals and search engine data.

The study, by researchers from Harvard medical school, Boston University of Public Health and Boston children’s hospital, looked at images captured between January 2018 and April 2020 and found a “steep increase” in vehicle counts starting in August 2019 and peaking in December 2019. Between September and October, five of the six hospitals observed had their highest daily volume of cars in the period analysed.

Nice summary of all the state by state data. Drawing conclusions about the effectiveness of closures is difficult when comparing across states because of variation in the closure intensity, however this is a pretty good way to anticipate where the next hotspot will be and how to allocate resources nationally.

Jordan Klepper needs to find the "Corona is a hoax" people outside these rallies and ask them to read this disclaimer that they agreed to (assuming he can do so safely).

We are so fucked

 

[mikedrum4prez]

Record cases today in NC, tests up sure, but the positive rate is up, confirming what we all knew, many more cases out in the community that are going undiagnosed.

Summary - we are screwed until we get a vaccine, summer was supposed to give us a break from this crap. F this virus
