Greene county (Springfield) reported 17 deaths today alone, population is around 300k for reference. I would guess one Mobile morgue may not be enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because when 9/11 happened, we restructured the entire government. Now 9/11 is happening every day, and the government can't find its own ass with both hands a map 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Ominous that we are at/near over 200k cases per day recently, because it has to be kept in mind that virtually nobody who got exposed on Thanksgiving would be in the numbers yet. In a number of areas, can't really afford even a slight bump from Thanksgiving. Friday often puts up the biggest case numbers nationally. Don't know if that will hold true tomorrow because of the atypical circumstance of coming off of the holiday, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Just over 485,000 people live in my county and there have been 484 covid deaths, so getting to the point that 1 out of every 1000 people living in this county has died from covid... whether they are young, old, healthy, unhealthy. Obviously it would look even worse if you filtered by age or preexisting conditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan11295 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 In hospital: 100,667 (+441) Very muted hospital increase today. Probably a combination of things: Rate of increase in cases last week was lower. Some areas in upper Midwest have seen their numbers go down some. Am also guessing in some areas many patients that would previously have been hospitalized are not actually being admitted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Read a story from my aunt. One of her friends has a daughter who is in her 20s and has covid. Healthy, no preexisting conditions, and she had a stroke. Not definitively from covid but obviously have to strongly suspect that given the circumstances.

chuckster2012 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 People need to start sanitizing their shopping cart handles and gas pump handles. I live near a Walmart and go there about 3 times a week and I see no one sanitizing the cart handles even though sanitizer is sitting right there by the carts. They just walk in, grab a cart and enter the store. Stupid! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or COVID showed a potentially life threatening issue while in her 20’s rather than her 40-50’s. COVID could of seriously save her life. As crappy as that sounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But risk is certainly greater now with more widespread transmission/cooler and drier air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I am watching is whether the plains/upper Midwest states which have seen the case, positivity & hospital numbers drop see that trend stop or reverse due to Thanksgiving. Will know that starting next week. Positive rate appears to be rising again in IN based on preliminary data. Outside of this area trends are just bad. PA had over 10k cases again today +150 hospitalized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan11295 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Watching Arizona now too. 2900 in hospital (+100 today) vs 3400 July peak. But in July they less in hospital for non-Covid emergencies due to their demographics (seasonal elderly population). Also in the summer they were able to send patients to Colorado and New Mexico. Not really an option now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan11295 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Over 10k cases again in IL, but another good drop (-200) in total hospitalized. Following trends of adjacent states like MN/WI/IN as far as hospital numbers. Drops like this should keep the nationwide hospital number from going up as much (in addition to capacity issues limiting admissions in some places).
