Holding under 25k new cases for the day and NY with only around 6k, one of the lowest new case count days I can remember. Hopefully this continues through the week.
-
Hey, but like I said last night, in order to try to keep this thread a little more focused and less sloppy I’m going to reduce my back and forths with you. Cheers!
-
looks like another 1500+ death day today. Lower than last weeks average so hopefully we’re coming off the peak and it’s not just the weekend reporting.
-
The easiest way you can tell conclusively this is not comparable to the flu is that 0 public health experts or Epidemiologists are making that argument.
-
Yeah, it’s amazing how skewed the debate can seem on a forum where a few people are pushing the covid = flu narrative constantly.
-
Why not?

-
These charts are pretty interesting. I was wondering why they weren’t per capita but it turns out epidemiologists don’t favor that approach. Epidemics don’t necessarily spread faster in larger populations.
-
Yes it’s an interesting question. I forget where I saw it but I saw somewhere that they think most of the benefit of school closing comes from the fact it caused the adults to stay home more.
-
Same here, half price and they are also paying the staff the same.
-
Yeah I’m also wondering if I should continue to pay for daycare, i was planning on pulling my kids out this summer since I’m a teacher and I can look after them over the summer.
-
Terrible news. Sending my thoughts their way.
-
This is pretty interesting
-
This sounds about right to me. The other question that will be interesting is will the school day look the same when schools open back up.
-
The Maryland positive rate has been fairly stubborn recently. Will be interesting to see how much it changes if hogan can really expand testing.
-
I fully understand all the reasons why daily case counts aren’t the ideal metric but I really like to rile you up. The last 3 times I’ve posted the 30k thing it’s just to get a response from you.
-
No ones mad. I think I’m going to stop antagonizing you now though. While It’s extremely fun/entertaining for me but I can see why this thread would be better off if I stopped doing this. So I’ll stop. Anyways have a good evening.
-
What are you even talking about? A new virus isn’t analogous to a bomb that goes off once on one day.
-
Hahaha ok. It must be fun to live in your world where you can just make up all the rules to fit the narrative you like best.
-
Our testing volume has plateaued recently. If we keep finding the same number of cases on approx the same number of tests that shows the prevalence might not be dropping very much. The current volume of cases is causing thousands of deaths a day. I’m not sure what’s complicated about that for you.
-
I really don’t know what your point is sorry.
-
lol what?
-
So if you go to a country where covid isn’t prevalent and run a couple hundred thousand tests you’ll find the same number of + cases?
-
That seems like a reasonable guess to me.
-
Eventually to get fully back to normal that numbers going to have to go WAY down. I know you’re in denial about that still.
