Like the track, toss the totals

We are not heading for a double dip recession. Stop the hyperbole.

1.85" final call of rain

right

right - the two people with pre-existing allergic reactions that had allergic reactions that cleared up? funny how one sided you are.

There are a few idiots in this thread who believe that this is only an old person or a fat person disease. The reality to me is, how is this any different than the top leading causes of death? I don't hear too many 12 year olds having a heart attack, but heart disease is the leading killer in this country of the elderly and unhealthy. I don't see as many 12 year olds passing away from cancer, but cancer is the 2nd most cause of death in this country of the unhealthy and elderly. Facts are facts. Numbers don't lie. Covid is now in the top 3 and unfortunately has affected everyone no matter your age or weight. I choose to take it seriously.

OTE: Ohio: “Today the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) reports the Bureau of Infectious Disease has cleared the backlog of pending files that dated back to November 1, causing a one-day spike in cases, bringing today’s reported case total to 25,721. Included in the reported cases for today are the results from approximately 13,000 that were part of the report backlog [...] After understanding more about antigen tests, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), changed their case definition in August allowing antigen tests to be included in case counts without additional verification,” said ODH Chief Medical Officer Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff. “ODH is now aligned with CDC’s current definition and we will begin reflecting those tests immediately in our daily reported case counts moving forward.”

This should have been the case from the summer on, instead of just saying its no big deal or that we are rounding the corner. Just at least show that you give a crap, science or not.

AZ is confusing - 12k cases on about 20k tests? Thats a 60% rate -there has to be a large backlog if yesterday's positivity (i know it was monday) was near 9%

Guess I am looking forward to Friday/Saturday soaker? And yes, 0.3 would be a soaker

I think that Southern CA definitely has pandemic fatigue. SF numbers aren't that bad but they have been more strict with this throughout according to those i know in the bay area.

Today was a poster lousy winter day for Chicago. Grey, grass is meh, trees are sticks and its cold. This is awful.

lol nominate for thread of the year

1 in 2.5, 1 in 8, 1 in 4 - its all speculation. no one has any idea we're no where close to herd immunity.

I agree with this, but we need stimulus now. I think that those that are unemployed or have earned under a certain pay should be entitled to $1k now, and those willing to vaccinate receive $500 and perhaps up to $900 per family... similar to healthcare deductibles. but the stimulus now is necessary. I know this because I am in business.

This is incredibly boring.

Add doctor/surgeon/specialist to that list... working in medicine as well as working in business

where you get your info is such a mystery

Do we know that for a fact? I didn’t see anything one way or another about pregnant women in trials.

If symptom onset is typically 3+ days, I would think that starting around now forward some of the testing will begin from Thanksgiving. Who knows how long those results will take however, so I am thinking the low point a couple of days ago(mostly due to data backlog) is probably the lowest we will see for a while.

Hospitalizations up 2,400 nationally today and up 9,500 over the last 7 days.

LOTs early details 0.00 looking strong. This system is a mess to watch. The flip flopping is awful. Moisture is there, but thats about all. Too bad there's not more forcing off the east coast.

Keep in mind that this is only an estimate through September, before the increase. More Than 15% of Americans Have Had Covid-19, CDC Estimates By Brianna Abbott Some 53 million people in the U.S. likely had had Covid-19 by the end of September, according to a modeling estimate from researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Roughly 6.9 million infections had been confirmed within that time period, suggesting that roughly one in every eight cases was identified. The CDC estimates are also in line with studies that have looked at blood samples for disease-fighting antibodies as a sign of a person’s past infection and arrived at similar conclusions: Many more people have had Covid-19 in the U.S. than have been reported, but the majority of people is still at risk. “This indicates that approximately 84% of the U.S. population has not yet been infected, and thus most of the country remains at risk, despite already high rates of hospitalization,” the authors wrote. The report, posted online on Wednesday by the academic journal Clinical Infectious Diseases, doesn't include data from the past two months, when the pandemic has raged the strongest across many places in the U.S. The seven-day average of new daily Covid-19 cases in the U.S. is nearly 165,000, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of Johns Hopkins University data. Hospitalizations have nearly doubled in November and surpassed highs seen in the spring, pushing rural hospitals to their limits. More than 263,000 people have died, according to the data.

I would think 1 out of 2.5 is good considering I’ve seen numbers indicating that testing is catching 1 out of every 8 in some places

0.00 final call
