Some of what you said I totally agree. For one we need to keep schools open. Kids as we know now are at very, very little risk of developing...
That's basically what we've been doing, just putting out fires when hospitals start to get overwhelmed. The problem is that you can't not lockdown...
Steady 30% weekly growth rate, which indicates ~170k tmr, ~200k by next Wed, and 220+k by next Friday.
Well, it depends on your definition of exposure. If you mean just being vicinity of infectious individuals, yes, I'm sure pretty much everyone...
That was probably the case in the beginning. Heck, you could probably add two 0's in March. Testing has gone up significantly now, however, and...
I feel like some posters have been postulating something like this since April or May. The vast majority of the country haven't, and it's...
Trust me, nobody admits COVID patients unless they have to. Hospitals lose money with COVID admissions, and it's a real PITA for the staff to see...
I think that's a helpful stat, but that obviously depends on testing criteria. If testing criteria change, then the trend line for positivity...
Like I've mentioned before, I don't know enough about PCR testing to speak of 35 vs 40, but I can speak from a clinician's POV that we prefer to...
They'll need onsite storage in clinics, walgreens, etc., and they'll need trucks that can transport them at that temperature as well. It's gonna...
Cases have been growing at a pretty steady ~30% weekly rate, while deaths have been growing at a pretty steady ~15% weekly rate. Since we haven't...
Ideally, a couple months. That's what the East Asians managed with effective leadership and decisions based on science. I don't see why we can't...
That's my hope! With the right leadership I'm hoping these type of behavior will be curbed.
No, but only a Republican president organizes events which break guidelines and encourages people to do so. Those presumed liberals need to...
Great news! This could be a breakthrough for vaccines in general given it's an entirely novel approach to making vaccines. With that said, this...
Applaud the mask-wearing, but they should be socially distancing as well, such as at Biden's acceptance speech. Very responsible of the...
It's just simple math, which also indicated that we'd peak this week at ~130k, and next week at 170-180k. That's what 30% weekly growth does. I...
You can't cook the book like that these days. Almost all major MNCs have operations all over China, so if the economy isn't doing well, they'd...
Those fishing fleets from China are a menace to maritime ecology around the world, hope the CG can stop them. With that said, how would they...
East Asia is too big and populous to be an outlier. They're doing something right. I'd like to say we should learn from them, but we actually...
