Doesn't include data from this week. That's what I'm referencing.

This chart shows that the daily deaths were lower around 400-500 a day a month a go now they are back near 800-1000 a day.....the uptick in early July is obvious and fits well with the surge in cases, bottom line .daily deaths are going back up thats the only fact that is relevant....

Maybe this is like hemorrhoids.. just pretend it isn't there and hope it goes away?

So we have reached peak deaths but not peak infection? Makes sense

If the virus has mutated,lost its intial punch. Became less severe but more spreadable. That would make perfect sense. On top of Doctors have some ammo,learned knowledge to combat this in patients who are severe, earlier on. Not learning on the fly.
 
You would think with pos cases dramatically increasing as reported in AZ and Florida, we should see a dramatic increase in deaths due to the elderly population. Maybe they all head north in the summer.

By those numbers it looks like peak deaths are far behind us.

The CDC data can be deceptive because each week deaths are inputted that happened weeks ago. So, while it looks like only 1,000 deaths have reported for the last week, that could end up being 5,000 or 10,000 once it’s all said and done. I suspect the worst is probably behind on a national level (I don’t expect 2,500 deaths/day really), but it’ll probably get somewhat worse before it gets better.

Basically, the data for recent weeks is incomplete.
 
Well the largest school system in GA just went digital without an actual end date. My mom won't be around students which will help me not worry as much about her (she has underlying health conditions and it isn't feasible for her to retire yet), I will worry about the families that digital learning isn't the best solution for them. I'm a teacher in a different county that has not changed the start date and we will be having in-person classes, so now I can focus most of my worry on how to teach in a very different classroom and keep the students from giving hugs. I wish we could go back to worrying about the weather only!!!

President Trump is going to resume Coronavirus press briefings starting tomorrow.

Dumb move by his advisers, this does nothing but help reinforce the negative stereotypes of his personality. I will say it is brave, but foolhardy, for him to do this because Biden won't talk to anyone and that is the way his advisers want it.

Arizona reports 1,559 new cases and 23 new deaths.

It does seem like the new cases may be starting to tail off there compared to the 3,000+ daily cases we were seeing recently there. Hopefully, that’s true and not an artifact of the testing, though.

EDIT: Looks like on the state dashboard ICU and bed utilization has also plateaued over the last week or so, so there may be some reality to it.
 
In North Carolina, hospitalizations drop for the fourth consecutive day (though are still higher than Monday last week, so...) and reported positive tests are the lowest thus far for the month of July. There’s also recently been some decline in the test positivity rate over the last week or so. Maybe the mask mandate is starting to make its presence felt? Good news? Maybe a bit premature, but something to monitor.
 
Jimmy and the boys would have caught SD and Jon conversation a week ago, theyd be happy campers today.

I find it simply unbelievable that my grandpa has basically completely recovered from covid (other than oxygen at times after a walk) he had 10 mini strokes when he was at the hospital and 4 major ones in his life including the Covid one, and a few heat strokes, and is still able to do things like walk, speak clearly, use the bathroom on his own, I find that to be mind boggling

Maybe premature. In Pitt county they had to cut testing sites significantly because of backlog and heat issues. Some sites were closed all together.

Tested over 26,000 yesterday according to NCDHHS... testing totals seem to be fairly stable over last two weeks... (understand that Pitt might be an anomaly, but at least across the state that doesn't seem to be playing out)

--------. It is about safety. No one gives a damn about Trump and his sycophants thinking this is all a ploy to get him voted out. As someone who has NO IMMUNE SYSTEM due to Lymphoma, I’m glad they’re taking their time.

“SaFeTy”

I also have a weakened immune system due to T1D.

On one hand i’m happy the schools are closed so that the education system will lose a year of conditioning our kids but on the other hand it’s time to open up and let the BIG DOG EAT!

Kudos to your grandpa, nothing but will to live! My 93 year old grandpa had Diabetic ketoacidosis in a rehab facility because they weren’t giving him his diabetic medication. It lead to bacterial pneumonia in both lobes, and he had a heart attack. All in the same day when I visited him and noticed his respiratory rate was elevated and his heart rate at rest was 135 and I called EMS. The nurses didn’t care. They said if the family wants an ambulance to come they can call. Wtf? I’m so glad I went that day as I went months without seeing him sometimes (regrettably). I’m not super religious but god was watching over him that day, no doubt in my mind. I was told to go see him....He’s still fighting today, in hospice but can still do a lot on his own at 95!

You have good genes! It must make you proud to see him. I know I am proud of my WWII vet still fighting!
