dan11295 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Ohio was not impacted as much as nearby states (IL/MI/PA) in the spring, probably due to Cleveland not being as much of a travel hub as Detroit and Chicago, and the PA cases were mostly in the eastern part of the state. They never had more than 1100 hospitalized in spring or summer. They have 4500 now and rising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Roughly 1 American every minute is dying of this thing. It's causing the equivalent of a 9/11 or Hurricane Katrina every 2-3 days. bUT IT haS a 99.5$ survIval RAtE... The problem is, when you have such an enormous number of cases, 0.5% of that is still a big number. That (plus the several more percent who get severely ill but survive) is also more than enough to burn out every ICU doctor and nurse in the country.

StormfanaticInd Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Other countries are struggling because they let their foot up off the gas.

Hoosier Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Many of us can probably relate, but the number of people I know who had/have covid has accelerated. I know about as many people who have gotten it in the past month or two as I did in the first ~6 months. Up to around 20 with 2 of them being hospitalized.

nwohweather Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Whats sad is this pandemic is so easy to control. We just need need a willing government and people I wouldn’t say a highly contagious illness that spreads before people have symptoms is easy to control. I’ve said it a thousand times, have to close factories down to beat this thing down. All companies are doing is saying they’re part of the “supply chain” to remain open as an essential business. My dad’s work has an outbreak occurring on the floor. How laminated labels for beers is an essential business is beyond me. If you’re going to be working 8-10 hours indoors along side other people, it’s gonna spread 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, 10 days seems kind of quick to see it reflected in the case numbers. Get exposed, become symptomatic, get tested, get the results back is often going to take more than 10 days. If anything, I'd pin it more on the period of warm weather earlier this month, but it's hard to say for sure because everybody in the Midwest was warm but the cases haven't dropped everywhere.

dta1984 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 That's a huge percentage of non contagious positive tests "Public health experts throughout the U.S. are raising concerns that "standard [COVID-19] tests are diagnosing huge numbers of people who may be carrying relatively insignificant amounts of the virus," the New York Times reported on Saturday. A significant majority of the individuals who test positive "are not likely to be contagious," the paper says.

Hoosier Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 A survey was done about peoples plans for Thanksgiving. 3 states in/near this sub -- Iowa, Indiana, Missouri -- had over 30% of respondents say they plan on being with people outside of their household. It was noted that all of these percentages may be an underestimate though because some people may have been too shy to say that they planned to spend this holiday with people from other households.
