I asked you to show me where I said Sweden was dong great.

I did say I'd live there.

I did say I liked what they were doing.

I never said they were doing great.

"Sweden is doing what Sweden wants to do. That makes it great."

Happy?

Are you going to keep trying to twist yourself into a pretzel to defend yourself? Clearly you've been praising Sweden this entire time.

Numbers looking much better today and yesterday.

 

[XponentialChaos]

Only 18,000 new cases today. That's really good for us, but it's still terrible.

I'd like to see this chart start to go down.

Here is what some of the other worst-hit countries look like:

Looks like we still have a way to go. We're not looking good compared to the others. But at least we're making progress the last two days.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

1,000 deaths today

NE still at around 50%.

Looking better.

S.D. puts up another goosegg.

Your percent increase in the number of deaths can be deceptive because it's calculated by dividing the daily number of new deaths by the total number of reported deaths since epidemic started. For example, suppose the total number of deaths next year on May 10, 2021 have reached 1 million but the new deaths is the same as was on May 10, 2020, that is, 750 (the amount reported above). The percent increase would be .075% which appears to be a very encouraging number because it's been trending down and much less than the previous year but in fact the number of new deaths are still 750 same as they were last year when the percent increase was .9%. A far better picture is given by showing the number of new deaths because we are judging our success in managing epidemic by the number new deaths, not daily percentage changes in deaths.

This chart stems from a time when I was concerned about the total number of infections and how was it was growing daily by 25% to 30%. At that rate, there were projections that the total by April 25 would be 110 million Americans given the exponential growth that was being seen. You can still get the raw number of daily infections on any particular day by just substracting the previous day from the new day total.

I agree, its probably best to now change to just looking at new infections and new deaths rather than the overall total since the crises began. The overall total now does not best represent progress or lack of progress in the current day or week. The new numbers(new daily infections, new daily deaths) are looking good, at least the past couple of days. But that could be ruined by states starting to open up.

 

[U2Edge]

Only 18,000 new cases today. That's really good for us, but it's still terrible.

I'd like to see this chart start to go down.

Looks like we still have a way to go. We're not looking good compared to the others. But at least we're making progress the last two days.

The United States is doing better, but it still has a ways to go to get the number of new cases down like Italy and Spain have done. The fear now is that in few weeks the, number of new cases will start to shoot up as states open up their economies, and then were going to fall back into the situation we were in back in early April.

Yup. I'd really like to see the active cases start to go down like we're seeing with other countries.

Coronavirus Countermoonbattery From an Unexpected Source
This reads like common sense countermoonbattery, exactly the sort of thing YouTube would ban a video over. Wait until you see who said it:

[T]rying to keep businesses from opening with threats of suspending their liquor licenses or cosmetologist licenses won’t work — not on a mass scale that would be needed if many people start to say: enough.
The goal of the shutdown was to curb the coronavirus and keep the hospitals from being swamped.

Hospitals across the country not only are not swamped, they are having to lay off and furlough doctors and nurses because thanks to the lockdowns and hysteria, there aren’t any patients. This is causing major financial hardship and stress on the healthcare system.

[W]e’re headed over the economic cliff and facing unemployment numbers the likes of which we have never seen before.
It looks like we’re going to be stuck in place until at least June 1, no matter what.

But June 1 may also be the boiling point.

Those are the words of Willie Brown, left-wing former Mayor of San Francisco, possibly best known now for launching the political career of Kamala Harris, evidently in return for sexual favors.

He ruefully concludes that “Like it or not, we may have to trust the public to be as safe as possible.” So there are limits to the scope and power of government after all.

As Thomas Lifson notes,

When you’ve lost Willie Brown … and you’re a San Francisco Democrat, you’re in trouble.

Brown is 86 years old, so the ChiCom virus is a more serious threat to him than to most of us. But even he seems more afraid of the overreaction than of the virus itself.

Even before COVID-19 mania, Trump-deranged Democrats had been letting their extremist impulses get the better of them. They were already well out on a limb when they succumbed to the temptation to impose sheer tyranny in the name of the ChiCom virus. Now even some moonbats have had enough.
It is increasingly obvious that the lockdowns are futile and destructive. Republican officeholders need to renounce them immediately. Calling off the lockdowns when the virus isn’t going away yet means admitting that they never should have been imposed in the first place, but it is better to admit to a mistake than to double down on one. If Republicans can run against the damage the lockdowns are causing, November should be a rout.

On a tip from R F.

Your percent increase in the number of deaths can be deceptive because it's calculated by dividing the daily number of new deaths by the total number of reported deaths since epidemic started. For example, suppose the total number of deaths next year on May 10, 2021 have reached 1 million but the new deaths is the same as was on May 10, 2020, that is, 750 (the amount reported above). The percent increase would be .075% which appears to be a very encouraging number because it's been trending down and much less than the previous year but in fact the number of new deaths are still 750 same as they were last year when the percent increase was .9%. A far better picture is given by showing the number of new deaths because we are judging our success in managing epidemic by the number new deaths, not daily percentage changes in deaths.

This chart stems from a time when I was concerned about the total number of infections and how was it was growing daily by 25% to 30%. At that rate, there were projections that the total by April 25 would be 110 million Americans given the exponential growth that was being seen. You can still get the raw number of daily infections on any particular day by just substracting the previous day from the new day total.

I agree, its probably best to now change to just looking at new infections and new deaths rather than the overall total since the crises began. The overall total now does not best represent progress or lack of progress in the current day or week. The new numbers(new daily infections, new daily deaths) are looking good, at least the past couple of days. But that could be ruined by states starting to open up.

As you can see from the CDC reporting form, data comes from a lot of places, hospital admissions, emergency rooms, healthcare worker interviews, and doctors and nurses during office visits. I suspect that the quality of data varies a lot but overall totals of cases cases and deaths for countries and states give a good picture of the status of disease. I really don't understand how active case data could be very accurate since many people are treated at home and followup is probably hit and miss.

The lab does indeed make ya stop and go humm along with gates owning patents
Johnson and johnson jumped right in and said we'working on needles ...just for yoooose ...lol Guinea pigs

Ever eat bear ? You can eat but ya better know what youre doing cause ya run the risk of gettin a parasite that'll ruin ya ...


I forget the parasite ....

Bats are disease corroded animals

It's a toss up

View attachment 303129

Wait a minute! I eat bear but know that it has to be thoroughly cooked, just like pork. Bear can carry the same parasitic load as pork, and for the same reasons. You eat bacon?

If Donald Trump had done what TAIWAN did back in January, the United States could be having figures like TAIWAN today. TAIWAN declared a national emergency on January 20, 2020 BEFORE they had even one confirmed case. Donald Trump did not declare a national emergency in the United States until nearly 2 months later in March.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Sweden was at about 50 deaths yesterday.

They reported 147 deaths today.

I just have to wonder if their reporting is for a day or just what they have in hand (several days).

147 is not good.

147 is not good.

It depends on the country and to some extent the state. The only safe way to determine new cases or deaths is subtract totals over a period of time. Also all reporting is not online so reporting forms coming from hospitals and clinics may be several days behind and also may include multiple days. Subtracting the total cases or deaths weakly would provide a more accurate picture than trying to work with daily reports. We need to keep in mind that the primary mission of medical facilities is treating patients and saving lives which takes precedence over filling paperwork.
