Hoosier Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Can really see the holiday impact on the reporting. There were only about 18k new tests in IN and we've been averaging closer to 50k per day. Plus it's Sunday so we may really see some artificially low numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 My co-worker's wife is a nurse practitioner at a walk-in clinic. She has been dealing with Covid patients since day one and it finally got her. She has double pneumonia and will find out tomorrow when she gets a plasma infusion. It is beginning to worry me because it is hitting many people in my circle. I'll just keep masking up and stay isolated as much as possible. It's just hard to do in my line of work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan11295 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 It is looking like the Christmas holiday did depress the hospital reporting in multiple states NY was up almost 400 to 7559 today. Florida +600 to over 6000. AZ was up 200 today as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Vaccinations are running behind. They wanted 20 million vaccinated by the end of December. Won't even be close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 The peak of the entire pandemic should occur sometime in late January/early Feb. Then a gradual decline until this thing is hopefully completely gone by end of 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a PR point that should have been ignored. It will be about 3 million and that was to be expected.

From reading Trevor Bedford's twitter, sequencing done, while limited, shows the UK/SA variants have not been detected here yet and are likely not currently circulating in large enough quantities so be responsible for any of the surge in the US. This includes places like LA County in particular. Not that they can't become a major factor before mass vaccination of the general population occurs in few months, but that window would be limited it appears. I would be more worried about actual evidence of mutations showing evidence of vaccine evasion, which hasn't happened yet (or been confirmed at least).

Then a gradual decline until this thing is hopefully completely gone by end of 2021. Increase in hospitalization have really slowed. I see a hospital peak with next 1-2 weeks, followed by decline. I think deaths fall below epidemic threshold (~250/day) by April at latest due to combo of vaccine/existing pop. exposure. Some sense of normalcy returns by Summer. Next few weeks in particular are going to be brutal though, unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwohweather Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Agreed, but it will mostly be under control and life "should" be back to somewhat normalcy.How would that happen? Look at the pure fear on this thread. Let’s be honest I doubt many of you would feel comfortable attending sporting events or going to a bar even after you get the vaccine until this thing is gone. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas /New years surge starts in about two weeks and we only have 2 million vaccinated so far when it was supposed be 20 million. We most likely peak in February Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way to know this because this country has not spent the money on sequencing like other countries have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan11295 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 UK Variant has been found in the U.S. (in Colorado). Not that surprising, its already in many other places around the world. If it does indeed spread easier it will gradually become the dominant strain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
