There was no stopping this thing. Gyms reopening!!!

What's the excess death number at for USA so far this year?

Trying to plan out my trips for 2021 once we can travel again. Thinking of going to Alaska for 2 weeks in summer. I think international travel won't be full go until 2022 or late 2021.

3,243 deaths today. Thinking we max out around 5-6k deaths a day in January?

Weren't severe side effects 0-4.6%? Also "severe" is relative. None of the side effects required hospitalization.

My moms immunotherapy is Keytruda. You see the commercial for it on TV? The side effects are like 2 minutes long, but guess what? That treatment has shunk my moms tumor by 60%!!!!!! Radiation did very little to her tumor, it actually grew. Chemo/immunotherapy during second treatment is working!

I took my 1st covid test today as I have to take my mom to Roswell tomorrow. That thing hurts! I feel like its still in my brain somewhere. Negative!

When I was in school we needed to get our Hepatitis shots before going back to school by a certain date. They were mandatory.

Today's a big day. Who would have thought 10 months ago or so when this thing really started going that we would have 95% efficacy vaccines going into people on Dec. 8th in England.

First vaccines being administered in England today. Pretty huge day.

With how the Bills are playing right now I feel like we can beat any team on any given night. I haven't felt that way in over 2 decades. Since the 99 season.

Allen played at MVP level tonight. I think we can take the Steelers, they did not look good tonight. Chiefs are only team I'm really worried about in entire NFL.

A guy at my wifes church is in his 50s with cancer and covid and has been on a ventilator for weeks. He passed 2 days ago.

Catching 1 in 5 means 1 million new actual cases a day. I know so many people with covid right now in the area its crazy. The first 2 waves didn't hit here like the 3rd is.

We were likely well above 100k cases during first wave if we had the testing capabilities. New York city antibodies were around 20% after the first wave.

Here is the full breakdown, sorry was 53 million by end of Sep, not 58. https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/cid/ciaa1780/6000389 Results We estimated that through the end of September, 1 of every 2.5 (95% Uncertainty Interval (UI): 2.0–3.1) hospitalized infections and 1 of every 7.1 (95% UI: 5.8–9.0) non-hospitalized illnesses may have been nationally reported. Applying these multipliers to reported SARS-CoV-2 cases along with data on the prevalence of asymptomatic infection from published systematic reviews, we estimate that 2.4 million hospitalizations, 44.8 million symptomatic illnesses, and 52.9 million total infections may have occurred in the U.S. population from February 27–September 30, 2020. That was based on 6,891,764 confirmed infections by Sep 30th. We've more than doubled that already and rising quickly.

58 million through Sep 30th. It didn't include Oct-December cases. If you extrapolate, we're near 120 million based on how many cases we've had the last 2 months.

History repeats itself. I think we can learn from the 1918-1919 pandemic. There were 3 discreet waves. They had no vaccines during that time. We are currently in the middle of wave 3. The only part here is that wave 3 is going to hit the hardest, whereas in 1918-1919 wave 2 hit the hardest. That most likely has to do with timeframe. Wave 2 back then hit where wave 3 is hitting today. (October-December) Based on the CDCS data of 1 in 8 confirmed infections being undetected. 15 million*8= 120 million people have had Covid 19 already. Herd immunity is closer than we think.

Anyone know where in Erie County you can get rapid test for free?
