    I’ll give him his props on this. He has done a good job on pushing forward on therapeutics and vaccine development.

    Now, he said “free”, which sounds like socialized healthcare?!

    let's talk about flattening the curve, since august 22 until yesterday, from worldometer, the number of active cases is only about 30,000 more, seems to me that curve is flat.

    New information indicates that coronavirus will live on skin for up to nine hours, versus less than two hours for the typical flu. Probably a big part of why Covid-19 is so much more contagious than the flu.

    Virus that causes COVID-19 can live on your skin for 9 hours, study finds. Here's what kills it in under 20 seconds.

    The morning update from world o meter as of 8 am EDT.
    • Iowa always reports their info early in the morning, they are usually the only state with new data when I look at this early in the morning;
    • There were 7 states with decreases in active cases, Florida had the biggest drop;
    • There were 3,800 more active cases than the day before in the whole US;
    • There were 7 states with 1-2 deaths and 5 states with 0 deaths;
    • The death rate per reported case dropped again to 2.782%.

    Studies are indicating that lower viral loads may be a factor in reduced death rates. This makes a lot of sense looking at early hotspots like NYC and Italy. At that time, folks were getting exposed to far more virus in those places without distancing and masking.

    "One idea that has generated a lot of discussion recently, bolstered by two back-to-back studies — one by Said El Zein of the Detroit Medical Center, and another from Italy, presented in late September to the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases — is that social distancing and masks are reducing the dose of virus people are receiving, resulting in less-severe illness."

    This makes a lot of sense and explains why it hits people so differently.
