yeah but a much bigger number of people die of something else per day so who cares?
No matter how much you left wing jerk offs want it to be, this is not the bubonic plague. It's a bad flu season.
Personally I am feeling great. I might have reverse Covid-19 in that I feel better.
I am a genetic freak when all said and done.
Can you catch it from poop?
This seems to be one question you can answer with authority.
what a god dam hypocrite
Just irony y'all.

we would have won Vietnam if our uncles didn't feed so fucking hard
In the meantime, most stations in the LA area are still over $3/gallon, thanks to special expensive environmental additive requirements (with questionable results) and the highest gas tax in the nation.
LOL California
I remember when idiot voters were fooled into raising their own gas tax yet again, in a ballot measure full of idle threats of consequences if it fails. When I questioned people who voted yes on it, I got a "But our roadzzzzz and bridgezzzz" answer, yet they couldn't explain why the other 49 states were getting by just fine maintaining their roads with a lower gas tax. Gavin Newsom then quietly appropriated some of that money for other purposes. LOL California
Sadly these Newsom sins will be completely forgotten, and he will probably go down in history as the man who saved the state from the corona, when in reality it was our bad public transportation which mostly saved us.
So you're just learning right now that TV doctors are quacks?

Boy this guy loves grandstanding.
This crisis was the best thing that ever happened to him. The only thing that sucks for him is that it happened in 2020 instead of early-mid 2019, so he didn't have time to cobble together a hasty Presidential campaign and buzzsaw through that super-weak field.
I guess there's always 2024.

New York might be finally turning the corner. The percentage testing positive has ever so slightly dropped in the last few days. It was nearly 42% a few days ago, now it's hovering at 40.1%
They need some good news, the death rate is 873 per million population.
New Jersey still climbing. 49.8% will it top 50%?... imagine that, half the tests are positive.
New Jersey has more or less the same death rate as Italy. 432 per million population.
I think you're close to peak, but shit I don't really know. Are you going to have 50,000 new cases a day some time next week?
Ain't that the truth. I'm no Cuomo fan but its amazing what being a clear, straight-forward public speaker can do for your popularity. And criticising Trump, of course.Boy this guy loves grandstanding.

Yeah. But noone drives anywhere anymore. Who cares if gas costs $3 instead of $1.50/gallon when you fill a tank once a month.
Also, lets not do start doing victory laps yet for Newson. It is hard to follow state by state data (at least on worldometer, maybe I need to find a better website), but it doesn't appear CA has peaked yet. And even if it has (for now), it is not like we are all immune now or a vaccine is rolling around the corner soon. Short of indefinitely lockdown there is still going to be as much morbidity and mortality as everywhere else, it is just going to take longer.
We are ascending slower or close to even. Somewhere around 30-35k new cases a day. We are still rising in deaths. We’ve had our worst days of late. Clearly that lags by 3 weeks. I understand you’re always looking at what percentage of tests are positive absent anything else, and that’s a good indication. I wish it was coupled with what percentage of positives are in hospitals.
Around here, there has just this last few weeks become drive thru testing 4 days a week. I don’t live in a bad state. I live in the worst county in the state however. We are one death behind or tied in total deaths(it lags a day and we were first) with cuyahoga, which is Cleveland and has 6x our population. We are easily 1st of 88 counties in my state per capita in both cases and deaths. Probably some combination of closest county to PA, NY, and average age skews older as far as deaths.
It’s quite simple to get a test here relatively speaking. 5 minute telehealth screening where you could claim anything and then just do a drive thru test.
So I’d like to see how many of these positives all around the country are slightly more proactive than up to this point. Before they were all people going into the hospital. Really serious. Already trouble breathing involvement. Hence the over 5% death rate. If that is still the case then everyone of these over 30k days will be minimum 1500-2000 deaths given the 5% now doesn’t encapsulate everyone of the cases who will eventually die already reflecting as a positive. It could be closer to 7 or 8%.
So if the nature of these positives are similar, we haven’t gotten better at all. I have to think these positives cast a wider net as we are testing all first responders and health care workers sick or not. We have drive thrus for those with fever and cough, but well enough to sit in line for an hour for drive thru. Most here are taking social distancing very serious outside the very young.
So we are certainly foolish to open up back quickly. We are nowhere near in that spot and likely we will make it worse. The nature of the current positives though are likely different than the positives three weeks ago. I have heard ERs are slowing a bit. I think not all 33k positives in a day are created equal. Are the lungs involved? There probably will be 55k and worse in six weeks if we open back up too quickly.
