Wow, in FL the open ICU bed was at 1,411 2 days ago... today at 1,207

I'll stop refreshing then...

Totals for all hospitals, not just covid... Here's the data texas: https://txdshs.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/0d8bdf9be927459d9cb11b9eaef6101f florida: https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/7572b118dc3c48d885d1c643c195314e/ As a side note, some of the dashboards that states carry are easy to read and user friendly. The data still sucks to see, but it is well presented.

Interestingly, watching hospital data in both TX and FL, and hospital admission and ICU bed use going down the last 5 days (sometimes by large amounts), despite cases on the rise there for nearly 3 weeks now.

The hope is that this doesn't spill over into other states....

So then if the 20-40 demographic is taking it to the chin, the 50+ aren't doing anything?

You can do that in IL now too.

At the end of April, the avg. cases load daily was approx 31,000, which at that time had a 2,100 person death rate per day in the US. Recently, that avg. daily case load is approx 23,000, down approximately 25% and the avg per person death rate daily is approx 750, down 65%. Even to say that the death toll is two weeks behind, the avg. daily deaths continued to fall quicker than the avg. daily case load. I can't rationalize the difference in the % changes in cases vs. deaths (this assumes a rolling average to smooth it out) but I have seen a number of articles of healthcare professionals describing the virus as less virulent and many more asymptomatic cases as of late. I'm not sure what to think of all that.... I'm a numbers person and numbers always tell a story, which is why I look at it from this perspetive.

I read that if we stopped testing then there are no cases and the problem is solved?

agreed - it seems as if the numbers have trended downward overall though across the country while cases have remained flat or staring to increase. next few weeks should be telling.

Florida stealing the show in new cases, while IL number of deaths is the highest in the country today.

Well, just going off of this from yesterday. https://fox6now.com/2020/06/16/florida-researchers-track-covid-mutation-that-suggests-virus-is-adapting-to-humans/amp/

Texas is turning into a hot mess.

Could any of that be due to virus mutation as well? I agree that the lowering death rate is encouraging and most likely due to understanding it more - ie, the effects on the blood vs. primarily a respiratory disease.

+1

The only reason that the national numbers have plateaued is because New York is in decline while the rest of the country seems to be stable to increasing. well. Excluding South Carolina of course.

Let’s try to get excited about a marginal threat tomorrow.

Interesting. Found this from a friend. https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/05/coronavirus-crisis-ron-desantis-florida-covid-19-strategy/

South Carolina is #30 in terms of cases. They are also #29 in terms of testing out of 30. Maybe the state needs to test more.

LOL. Solid follow up

The problem is they no one really knows if this is seasonal or not.

yeah that was my question too. If a BMI of 30 is considered overweight, then a lot of the population has a 'pre-existing' condition.

You gotta wonder where else this might be going on. https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/498142-colorado-lowers-coronavirus-death-count-from-more-than-1k-to-878 alcohol poisoning counted as Covid?

yeah that is what would be nice, if the sample represented state demographics....
