Official Coronavirus Thread - Up to the minute Coronavirus map and count.

It would be nice if Fauci were in a car accident and didn't continue to spread panic.

It is becoming quite clear that this isn't the same as the initial wave.

Most of us anticipated this would happen at some point.

Why people are freaking out is beyond me.

A few things about coronavirus and death.

1. Doctors and Hospitals have gotten better at treating critically ill patients.
2. Deaths are lagging indicator of infections.
3. We have now discovered that many people who don't die, have severe damage to their lungs and other parts of their bodies which could lead to premature death. So even if you're a non-smoker, you may look like a two pack a day smoker of 30 years after the virus is done with you.

 

[U2Edge]

Top 5 states accounting for 50% of deaths. This has been pretty typical. Texas is obviously the leader. Two N.E. states still in top 5.

465 total.

A real reason to freak out.

Guess how many people died in TAIWAN? ZERO!

Why is it ok for Americans to be dying in large numbers from coronavirus in the middle of July?

How many Americans is it acceptable to you to see die from Coronavirus?

Businesses are closing back down again. I'm expecting to hear about schools continuing distance learning like they did at the end of last year. It would be nice if we had made improvements over the summer, but unfortunately it's only getting worse. We aren't even close to getting this thing under control.

Closing businesses down AGAIN isn't good for the economy. Having students distance learn again is not good for the economy. The way we're going to fix this economy is by first tackling this virus. Look at what happened when we rushed into opening up the country before it's recommended by our health officials. The infections skyrocket and we end up closing back down AGAIN. We messed up. We're going backwards.

It's long past time for this country to get this virus under control like other countries have done.

I fear what the Fall/Winter seasons will bring given the current situation.

Meanwhile, in TAIWAN, there are currently just 4 active cases in that nation of 25 million people. Only 7 people have died from Coronavirus in TAIWAN and no one since May. TAIWAN proves this was preventable.

It was preventable.

It's definitely going to take a while for things to get back to normal.

Over 140,000 deaths.

We have 24% of the world's deaths from this.

Only half of the states have a mask mandate?! Florida and Arizona don't have a mask mandate!? Man we're stupid.

Half Of All States Have A Mask MandateâBut Surging Florida And Arizona Still Donât

Alabama is the latest state to issue a mask-wearing mandate.

www.forbes.com

- Arizona, no masks required (4th highest infection rate)
- Florida, no masks required (7th highest infection rate)
- Mississippi, no masks required (10th highest infection rate)
- South Carolina, no masks required (13th highest infection rate)
- Alabama, JUST announced a mask mandate (14th highest infection rate)
- Georgia, no masks required (15th highest infection rate)

This is interesting as many of these states without a mask mandate also happen to have some of the highest positive infection rates that I provided last time. (Arizona, Mississippi, South Carolina, Florida, Texas*, Georgia, Alabama)

* Texas started requiring one less than two weeks ago

 

[XponentialChaos]

71,670 new cases. Just 117 short of our highest set a few days ago.
997 new deaths. We've been flirting with the thousand mark for a while now.

Texas: 154 deaths. (Record. Their second highest was set yesterday at 131)
California: 126 deaths. (4th highest)
Florida: 112 deaths. (3rd highest)
Arizona: 97 deaths. (2nd highest)

These four states have been consistently leading in deaths recently.

California, Texas, and Florida are the three largest states by population so it's not too surprising that they also lead in deaths. The oddball is Arizona, which is extra stupid. And they still don't have a mask mandate.

States with mask mandates:

These are the states requiring people to wear masks when out in public

More states have mandated the use of masks and face coverings while in public.

We are fast approaching 600,000 deaths globally...thanks in large part to India, Brazil, and Mexico. U.K. has continues to make a contribution.

That is 4 days of normal mortality for the globe.

We've now been at this shit show for over 160 days which means we've increased mortality by 4/160 * 100 == 2.5%.

Of course, there are the claims that people are being classified as having died that haven't:

Jack Dake Didn't Die from COVID, But the Government Says He Did

Jack Dake wore the uniform of the US Army and fought in a war thousands of miles from Oklahoma. He lived a long life, raised his family, paid his taxes, and loved his country. He suffered from Alzheimer's and fought it with the same tough, tenacious American grit he exhibited in every fight he...

And we do stupid shit like purposely infect old folks homes.

There is a good chance that many of the 600,000 were going to go out anyway.

 

[XponentialChaos]

We are fast approaching 600,000 deaths globally...thanks in large part to India, Brazil, and Mexico.

And of course the United States, which makes up 24% of all the deaths despite being only 4% of the world population.

 

[XponentialChaos]

Florida hit a new record in deaths today.

- Florida, the same state that doesn't have a mask mandate.
- Florida, the same state that had a bunch of Trump supporters throw a fit about a county mask requirement.
- Florida, the same state where a restaurant offered free meals to people not wearing masks.

Another terrible day.

73,388 new cases. That's a new record for us.
963 deaths.

Florida: 156 deaths (new record)
Texas: 134 deaths (2nd highest, their record was set yesterday)
California: 128 deaths (4th highest)
South Carolina: 72 deaths (new record)

South Carolina had a terrible day compared to what they've had in the past. Arizona had a better day today, but still ended up 5th on the list of death counts.

No worries. Impeached Trump took over counting from the CDC so you can be sure the disease is cured now and those numbers will start dropping significantly.

 

[XponentialChaos]

Positive Test Rates

Arizona: 24.0% (Down 2.6%)
Florida: 18.8% (Up 0.2%)
South Carolina: 18.5% (Down 0.6%)
Texas: 16.1% (Down 1.6%)
Mississippi: 13.5% (Down 8.0%)

National Average: 8.5% (Down 0.3%)

New Jersey: 1.4% (Up 0.1%)
New York: 1.1% (Up 0.1%)
Vermont: 0.9% (Up 0.1%)
Connecticut: 0.8% (Down 0.2%)
Maine: 0.8% (Down 0.1%)

====================================================

Some good news is that the overall positive test rate has decreased. Most of the worst-hit states are improving and the north-east continues to appear stabilized at around 1%.

Mississippi had a big spike and in their positive infection rate and then dropped just as quickly. Might have been an outlier affecting their numbers.

No worries. Impeached Trump took over counting from the CDC so you can be sure the disease is cured now and those numbers will start dropping significantly.

If we suddenly start seeing very few cases and deaths, we'll know what's really happening.

 

[XponentialChaos]

We hit a new high of nearly 75,000 new cases today. Our previous high was set yesterday.

946 deaths. We have been staying around 1,000 deaths lately. The leading contributors again were the big 4.

Texas: 162 deaths (New Record, previous one was set two days ago)
Florida: 128 deaths (3rd highest)
California: 122 deaths (6th highest)
Arizona: 91 deaths (4th highest)

 

[XponentialChaos]

Arizona just flew past their previous record of deaths. Their infection rate skyrocketed and now we're seeing the deaths pile up.

 

[XponentialChaos]

We had 63,000 new cases and 813 new deaths. It's pretty terrible when this is considered a decent day compared to what we've had.

Once again, the big four lead the way in deaths.

Arizona: 147 deaths (Broke their previous record of 117)
Florida: 93 deaths
California: 91 deaths
Texas: 75 deaths

Arizona is now #3 in infection rate. They're quickly closing in on New Jersey.
Florida is now #7 in infection rate. At this rate, they may hit #1 before Arizona does.

Both states were in the mid 30's not long ago. They really came up. And neither state has a mask mandate. Brilliant.

 

[XponentialChaos]

Arizona is going to pass up New Jersey's infection rate in a matter of days.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Looks like we are underreporting again....on a Sunday.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

So does Trump get the blame because TX, FL & AZ won't put in mask mandates ?

Have a friend who said bars in AZ are still filled to the max with people not masking or social distancing.
