Wonder if all the cool stratus days is why NC despite being more locked down compared to its neighbors is seeing the numbers still soar. Sure doesn't help when you have temps almost perfect for the virus and no sun.Well, if you want a smorgasbord ...
North Carolina reports 'notable and concerning' coronavirus case increase
Over 5.3 million people across the globe have been diagnosed with COVID-19, the disease caused by the new respiratory virus, according to data compiled by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. The actual numbers are believed to be much higher due to testing...www.yahoo.com
Russia reported 8,946 new cases and 92 new deaths.

On this Memorial Day it's worth remembering the US troops who died in the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic during WWI; nearly as many Americans in military service died from the flu as were killed in combat during the entire war. I imagine this was because the Spanish flu was different from our own pandemic in a major aspect: the mortality rate among people in their 20's and 30's was atypically high, with peak mortality at age 28.

Worldwide flu outbreak killed 45,000 American Soldiers during World War I
In September 1918 there were two killers in the world. World War I, which would claim 20 million lives by its end, and the flu pandemic known as the Spanish Flu, is estimated to have killed between at least 50 million people.

For now...Odds are some of those people contract the virus and die from it in about 2 weeks. Hefty price to pay for a weekend at the beach. No way all these parties and crowded beaches doesn’t cause an uptick in cases (even with increased testing, % positive cases is what you look at and that was increasing heading into Memorial Day weekend)

Even with the situation I’m in now, I still wouldn’t mind opening back up things, and a trip to the beach I don’t mind (if my parents didn’t have it) but what gets me is crowding, not following rules, it’s easy to stay away from folks and enjoy your time and relax, but some people just don’t have the thought process to do so

I wish your mother the best of luck. Please for your safety and to prevent the spread of the virus, stay home until you know that you’re not a carrier by being tested.

If you attended the beach or any large gatherings, I feel that you are obligated to let others know that you did so. Just my opinion...
Oh I’m almost 100% sure I have it but I’m asymptomatic right now, just no way I don’t have it given I was around my dad a lot the day before he got symptoms, not that I’m happy with probably having it that but at least I feeling fine right now, only thing that concerns me just a tad bit a few weeks later is MIS-C but I think I’m old enough, and I appreciate it, yeah I’m definitely staying here, i only go outside if there’s a storm or something

NC hospitalizations is up to 627 today. I believe that’s the highest it’s been, but not certain.
In other news, my son still complains of a sore throat but no fever today.

Hopefully he just has mild symptoms and gets over it quickly.
NC is definitely headed in the wrong direction.

lol I was joking with my mom about on a scale of 1-10, how evil are we for heading out of town, but our reality isn't on the beach, it's just been sitting in a family house, with little direct contact with anyone else outside family. We only stopped once on the way too.
María Neira of the WHO said they are increasingly ruling out a second wave and that “we have lowered the transmission rate so much that the virus will have difficulty surviving”.
Interesting.

More good news “New estimates released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that COVID-19 may have an infection fatality rate as low as 0.26%, a number that is double the seasonal flu but significantly lower than earlier estimates.”
And this
“Coronavirus patients stop being infectious 11 days after contracting the disease — even if they still test positive for COVID-19 on day 12, according to a new study.
Singaporean infectious disease experts said they found that the virus “could not be isolated or cultured after day 11 of illness,” according to a joint paper from the country’s National Center for Infectious Diseases and the Academy of Medicine.”

Looking at Brazil, looks like they may be peaking or possibly just have passed peak.

Update : I got little bit of cough, stomach ache, mom and dad is doing well, grandpa is starting to get a headache/runny nose (he’s 74 and has had 5 strokes in his life with very bad blood pressure, he once got a reading of 252/117 after his stroke)
I don’t think the beach is inherently that bad of a place to be. Sure, it can be if you behave stupidly, but it’s pretty easy to follow social distancing guidelines, and beaches are wide open, windy, and sunny...not exactly the place a virus thrives. Now, if you’re hanging around in big crowds and stuff like that, that’s a bit difference, but you don’t have to do that stuff. And I could just as easily crowd places in my own hometown; you don’t need to be at the beach for that.
Nationally, today featured the lowest death count since late March, and the lowest positive test rate so far. And 441k tests, which is either a record high or close to one. Encouraging, though the deaths are likely slow reporting given the holiday weekend, so it’ll be important to watch the counts the next couple days (wouldn’t be surprising to see 1,500ish).
On a local level, North Carolina’s increasing hospitalization rate is concerning and is dashing my hopes of us seeing a Phase 3 reopening anytime soon...

It's the dadgum places like Frenchy's in Clearwater Beach (or a 1000 other places like that) that are scary ...

Agreed there. I saw some restaurants on the beach that were pretty busy, which was a bit concerning to me. Myself, I stayed with a friend and we basically did our own thing, so I don’t think it was all that risky (certainly more risky than staying in my apartment all weekend, but I wasn’t going to do that regardless).It's the dadgum places like Frenchy's in Clearwater Beach (or a 1000 other places like that) that are scary ...

Yep, I’ll be down there for a few weeks in July, I’ll guess the CDC guidelines will not be followed by then.
Mexico reports 2,485 new cases and 239 new deaths.
Found out today that my 87 yr old grandma had been exposed to two caretakers working directly with her in the assisted living home that had Corona. She got her test back and it was neg. That's a miracle.

Currently on I-20 headed out of Atlanta! Traffic was heavier this time but it really wasn't as bad as it can be. So, it does look like Corona made "some" difference.
11am the Tuesday after a holiday isn't really prime time traffic. It’s back to normal around here for the rush hours.
