Shame on their families for letting them die

This doesn’t typically seem to kill quickly. Possible of the hospitals are overwhelmed but undercounting isn’t really logical given all the factors I mentioned. This isn’t something people die with overnight in their sleep and testing is so pervasive as is treatment and how to get it

Yeah I wish it were that easy.

You don't trust the models?

Plato

I don't trust another flare up. What we're doing is the number...

Its fine if you don't trust the model. But what are you basing your

Common sense. Fear. Experience. Education. Intuition. South Park.

OK. Trust your gut. Great plan. I hope that's not what

I don't know where you live. My governor is leading our state.

4/7/20 9:02pm

What state? What is your governor's stated

Plato

Oil in your lamp: then why do you let fear govern you?

Because I'm not stupid.

4/7/20 11:44pm

Well ...

Obviously not as smart as you - but then - smart people don't talk smack.

LOL.

The country isn't monolithic. Some states have seriously abated the virus,

In Utah

You realize he is talking about Utah, right? 0 deaths today.

YSMACK

4/7/20 9:34pm

Cute. Well, not every city is NYC, NO, Detroit, Atlanta or the state of NJ.

Two strawman arguments in a row. LOL.

4/8/20 9:00am

Completely ignoring your list of places we aren’t like is getting awfully long

coolcats

4/8/20 9:06am

Nah, I've listed the same 5 spots. Included Chicago once.

All the metrics show that the growth rate has been slowing

Indy Coug

4/7/20 8:42pm

Agreed 100%. That’s why I’ve been saying we are in “peak” mode, and we may

jkccoug

4/7/20 8:47pm

They explained that some deaths recorded today were from the past day or two, so

This. Birx said this yesterday.

Indy Coug

4/7/20 8:47pm

Like in Utah, they showed 5 passed away on Monday...but it was from the weekend

WJCougar

4/7/20 8:48pm

If that’s true it would explain some things. And presumably we should see

jkccoug

4/7/20 8:48pm

Crummy, but I also read anyone who now dies who tests positive for Covid

Busiturtle

4/7/20 8:49pm

Lots of people are likely dying from Covid without being tested too. I’m

jkccoug

4/7/20 8:50pm

Yeah, everything I’ve read is that COVID deaths are generally undercounted.

Food Snob

4/7/20 8:54pm

Undercounted when everyone is looking for it.

BYU '80

4/7/20 8:59pm

Except there’s a lot of data out there that suggests a huge spike in deaths in

Also in NYC

You’re really shaming people for having their loved ones die?

coolcats

4/8/20 6:33am

Death is one of those events that allows statistical analysis

Busiturtle

4/7/20 8:55pm

Lots? I doubt that.

YSMACK

4/7/20 9:36pm

Well in-home deaths with Covid-like symptoms are up 500% in NYC

jkccoug

4/7/20 9:40pm

Interesting, though it appears they are still being counted even in-home.

YSMACK

4/7/20 9:42pm

Only counted as Covid if they had a positive test

jkccoug

4/8/20 6:06am

Good points.

YSMACK

4/8/20 9:40am

Cardiovascular deaths are down big time last month or two

Covid-19

4/7/20 9:00pm

In all seriousness, this is fascinating stuff

Busiturtle

4/7/20 9:02pm

It really is, going to be an interesting case study when the dust settles

Covid-19

4/8/20 1:09am

Deaths are a lagging indicator

Coog4Life

4/7/20 8:50pm

That’s certainly been my view. Would love to be right.

jkccoug

4/7/20 8:51pm

3-4? Dang that's a long time from start to end

Clearly growth rates are slowing. Social distancing works, but not as

4/7/20 9:03pm

This week will be bad.

cougXor

4/7/20 9:11pm

Peak deaths will be next week and then we'll start to drop

rggee

4/7/20 9:19pm

Why does the peak deaths always seem like they are next week.

WJCougar

4/7/20 9:50pm

I haven't seen this target move in the US, have you?

Plato

4/7/20 10:03pm

I had it pegged for April 8th way back on March 17th....I may be

It's always been April 10 for NY and April 16 for the USA

Sooner in nyc later in others.

BYU '80

It already peaked in others.
