    If yesterday was really a significant peak (at last) then we should see the number of Active Cases begin to drop and continue dropping day after day.

    We know it's got to happen sooner or later.

    Unlikely, unfortunately. That's probably either a testing or reporting anomaly. But if it continues for a week, then we can start feeling hopeful.

    We've seen this before. If a State has been sitting on statistics, or changes the way they count things, then all of a sudden there is a disruption of the curve. That could very well be the case.

    Or maybe people are really starting to get it.

    After all, DT finally started wearing mask.

    And the more people who die, the more people who know someone who died.

    When it starts to hit closer to home people start to take things seriously.

    A lot of people blew off the guidelines and had July 4th parties. If they realize they messed up, or knew somebody who did, they may be getting remorseful and finally taking things seriously.

    It’s always been a question of ‘how many’, exactly.

    Maybe at some point there will be an audit of some of the records. Or not.

    Do you think it's more than 61?

    61 lol.

    Do you recall that I pointed out that a third of the 61 deaths came from a single nursing facility in Washington State? This was in March.

    What percentage of COVID deaths involve nursing home residents in August? How much lower would our totals be had Democrat governors properly ‘interpreted the March data’ and protected their nursing facilities accordingly?

    Ya know what that sounds like?

    It sounds like an attempt to just flat deny there is a crisis.

    Looking for any way to challenge the validity of even a small portion of deaths.

    People who act like that change their views when someone close to them dies.

    I'm guessing there's a few weasels in your family tree. LOL

    What I recall is you posting these and hundreds of posts in a similar vein: https://www.justplainpolitics.com/sh...-explode-to-61

    How’d OH turn out with their 100,000 COVID cases?

    ,The Week•May 1, 2020

    The U.S. now has more than 63,000 confirmed COVID-19 deaths, and most experts say that's almost certainly an undercount. Still, if you compare that number to the 2017-18 flu season, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates killed 61,000 people, it looks like COVID-19 might be similar to a bad flu — President Trump has made this point, as have many conservative media personalities. But the data so far show that this new coronavirus is much more lethal than the flu, and Dr. Jeremy Samuel Faust has an explanation.

    Faust, a Harvard Medical School instructor and emergency physician at Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston, wrote in Scientific American that he started wondering about the flu-to-COVID comparisons when it occurred to him that in nearly eight years of hospital work, "I had almost never seen anyone die of the flu." Neither had any of the colleagues he called around the country. So he did some research, and this is what he found:

    The 25,000 to 69,000 numbers that Trump cited do not represent counted flu deaths per year; they are estimates that the CDC produces by multiplying the number of flu death counts reported by various coefficients produced through complicated algorithms. These coefficients are based on assumptions of how many cases, hospitalizations, and deaths they believe went unreported. In the last six flu seasons, the CDC's reported number of actual confirmed flu deaths — that is, counting flu deaths the way we are currently counting deaths from the coronavirus — has ranged from 3,448 to 15,620. [Jeremy Faust, Scientific American]

    So in an apples-to-apples comparison, matching the second week of April's COVID-19 deaths to the worst week of the past seven flu seasons, "the novel coronavirus killed between 9.5 and 44 times more people than seasonal flu," Faust writes. Read his entire essay at Scientific American.
    I read that and get the impression I’m being baffled with bullshit lol.
    God bless America and those who defend our Constitution.

    That is not helpful.

    People need to take this seriously.

    We need everyone on board.

    Our best chance to deal with the pandemic comes from all of us working together.

    We are all on the same side in this one.

    The coronavirus doesn't care about politics.

    No good can come from trying to make it political.

    At the end of the day the virus is a natural phenomenon that can only be mitigated by degrees. Like all other natural phenomena, it will run its course.
