Neverending Covid-19 Coronavirus

I've seen this - New Jersey is also on a slight down curve IIRC. But because of its sheer numbers, NYC is basically driving the curve of the entire country down by itself, giving the impression of a plateau that is in fact not there at all.

Exactly. When the data shows just the United States, it shows we have flattened the curve. It's very misleading.

All the progress in New York is being offset by increase spread starting in the rest of the country. And the flattening of the curve is what is driving many of the Red states to reopen.
 
A mall opened up in Southern California yesterday defying the states stay at home order.

People lined up outside after hearing it would open. It looked like the morning of black friday with people ready to shop for all the deals and steals.

Thankfully, not every store in the mall reopened.

Even more troubling, the local, conservative health officials gave the go to open. Basically saying ignore the statewide mandate, we feel it's safe to open.

Boomer: Hey, I've got this video that shows that Fauci is engineering this to make money.
Boomer's Kid: Obviously, this video is a hoax. The person that released it has her own agenda and the video has been edited in a misleading way.
Boomer: Well fine! Stay ignorant then!

I would be very surprised if you told me they are well versed in multi color fluorescent in situ hybridization of chromosomes.

Silent hypoxia: Covid-19 patients who should be gasping for air but aren't

An unusual subset of Covid-19 patients have few breathing struggles even though their oxygen levels and lungs show signs of terrible illness. It's called 'silent hypoxia' and horribly nicknamed 'happy' hypoxia.
www.cnn.com www.cnn.com

In hospitals around the world, doctors are shaking their heads in disbelief as they watch Covid-19 patients who should be comatose or "seizing" from hypoxia -- a lack of oxygen in the body's tissues -- check social media, chat with nurses and barely complain of discomfort while breathing.

In addition, Levitan said, scans of these patients' lungs showed signs of pneumonia so severe they should be in terrible pain as they gasp for their next breath.

This is rather interesting. I wonder why COVID-19 is creating so many Silent Hypoxia cases.

It also should raise alarm bells.
 
I have lost all faith and hope that the US can get through this. We haven't even scratched the surface of the disparate treatment authoritiesare showing black people v white people. Cops seem to think it is open season for them to abuse and demean black people.

November is my last glimmer of sanity.

And we've only dealt with the first wave of infections. Here's a really good article about the different model scenarios:
www.statnews.com

Three potential futures for Covid-19: recurring small outbreaks, a monster wave, or a persistent crisis

“October 2020," one public health expert said of the long-term impact of the coronavirus pandemic, "won’t look nothing like October 2019."
www.statnews.com www.statnews.com

Looking at our trend, I would say we are leaning towards either the second or third scenario. This is from the article and really sums up what I've been thinking:

Society must referee what Leung calls “a three-way tug of war” among a trio of competing needs: to keep cases and deaths low, to preserve jobs and economic activity, and to preserve people’s emotional well-being. “It’s a battle between what we need to do for public health and what we need to do for the economy and for social and emotional well-being,” he said. If the public health part of the tug-of-war weakens, then the waves will keep on coming through the end of 2022.

Trump administration won't implement CDC's recommendations for reopening

The US coronavirus outbreak has altered daily life in almost every way. Here's the latest updates on US Covid-19 cases, deaths, the lockdown, the government response, unemployment and more.

My take away from this is lobbyist hold more influential weight than the scientists. All the CDC's recommendations were considered too stringent the the Coronavirus Task Force / Trump Administration. The CDC's guidelines also left businesses vulnerable to legal liability if a worker contracts or dies from COVID-19 on the job.

That being said, coming from the IP world, if you do a Google search and it comes up as a top wiki hit, it's a pretty damn well known piece of information. Sure, you should double check with a better source after.

Trump administration buries detailed CDC advice on reopening

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Trump administration shelved a document created by the nation's top disease investigators with step-by-step advice to local authorities on how and when to reopen restaurants and other public places during the still-raging coronavirus outbreak.

It was supposed to be published last Friday, but agency scientists were told the guidance “would never see the light of day,” according to a CDC official.
