Another death from High Point tied to Tyson in Wilkes. Also today’s announcement confirms 3rd outbreak here at Rose Glenn villages.
We’re in only inning 2 of 9 I’m guessing. ?
and the home team is down by 10 runs, and we don't have relief pitcher in the bull pen ...
Saw on TV today that the basic curve in a pandemic is that from the point the peak is obtained there would/could be as many deaths on the downward slope of the curve so basically a doubling if the deaths at peak.
Just some talking heads so not sure of its accuracy.
Current infections/testing/daily case rate/openings all go into the equation. NC’s was upped definitely due to starting phased opening.
and that assumes a continuous downward trend on infections from the "peak" ... ever walked in the mountains, ridge top to ridge top? Down, up, down up ...
It appears they think GA has hit its peak cases/day and deaths/day already. And NC is still a month out. It’s confusing because of the vague methodology, we don’t know exactly why.
My educated guess is that we’re headed to 300-500K US deaths for the total pandemic.
Not far off probably. We are forgetting fall and winter. And subsequent fall and winter of 21-22 as well. Sigh...we’re in this for the long run. Hopefully sports return in 2021 after a vaccine. I can’t see college basketball or football being played this season

A.friend of mine goes into the next phase of a clinical trial with in hospital patients to test another anti-viral after the hydroxchlorine failure. Shes a bit nervous of being with the covid patients but she knows this research is needed.
If we can get a treatment that just keeps people off ventilators thats a huge deal.
Not liking this article. Seems to throw some ice on the antibody testing when they say their studies showing less infections. Or am I misunderstanding what they're saying?

Coronavirus: Number of people infected probably much lower than first thought, WHO warns
COVID-19 has already killed at least 286,000 people and infected 4.1 million based on official statistics, Johns Hopkins University data shows.
I can't imagine them not fighting very hard to avoid cancelling college football. Because if they cancel that, you are going to see mid major and small schools have to shutter some of their sports forever as well. At the ABSOLUTE MOST...I can see spring, maybe (which would be odd for sure).
If you do see a season played, it might be the end of the NCAA controlling things actually and it could potentially be a huge blow to the Pac 12 (which was declining already). Although California basically said they're going full online for fall already, Emmert also said recently that they are going to leave it up to the conferences on what they want to do. It could POSSIBLY be a case in which the Pac 12 decides to not play but other areas do.
Greg Sankey said that they would be willing to do a round robin SEC schedule if needed, but also said that we won't play if you can't do it safely. That does not sound good, but considering there have been talks about restarting other sports without a vaccine, it doesn't rule out the SEC playing (and I would probably say they're the most likely conference to).
As it is, if you think that you can't do any sports without a vaccine, it could well go longer than the rest of 2020. The fastest vaccine so far has been 4 years...

I cant stress enough how important it is for our policy makers to be watching the roadmap that's unfolding in front of us.

Germany's daily coronavirus case count has nearly tripled as regions consider an 'emergency brake' to reinstate harsher lockdowns
Germany's Robert Koch Institute announced 933 new coronavirus cases early Tuesday. The country's departure from lockdown has not been smooth.
So the doc told my nephews today they had to shave their heads. Has anyone else been told this if positive?
Wait a sec, so all the articles mentioning Germany’s 900 cases on May 12 and thus a “rise” yet not one peep about the 357 cases on May 11 which is the lowest one day total since early March? I hate the media.

Germany's Robert Koch Institute announced 933 new coronavirus cases early Tuesday. The country's departure from lockdown has not been smooth.
Germany's ministry of health announced today that R-value has fallen back below 1. There was an article posted in this thread yesterday from the BBC indicating that rise in numbers in Germany was due to a couple outbreaks at meat packing plants.
The reality is that until there's a vaccine, the virus is going to continue to spread. Period. A perpetual (12-month +) lock-down isn't realistic so we need to find happy medium. Folks (mainly media) seem to be actively rooting against places that have eased restrictions like Georgia, Florida, Germany, Sweden (never had lock-down), etc. seemingly so they can be proven "right" that reopening was a bad idea. I think we need to realize that we, as a society, are going to have to find a way to live life/co-exist with this virus prevalent for at least the short-term future.
Shouldn't we all be rooting FOR places that have re-opened to have relative "success" so they can pave the way for a successful reopening of other cities and countries around the world? Is that too much to ask? Probably so, given society's propensity for dissension these days...
Some of the states that skeptics were most worried about, including Florida and Georgia, haven’t seen the rise in total cases that some experts feared.
High-risk states are seeing fewer new coronavirus cases

- Florida’s new cases have actually declined by 14% compared to the previous week, and Georgia’s fell by 12%.

Do you forget the key thing about the virus being dormant for up to 2 weeks? Give it time and we will see.Some of the states that skeptics were most worried about, including Florida and Georgia, haven’t seen the rise in total cases that some experts feared.
Heres the link to article.

I would guess more like 100k to 300k. I think we are in inning 7 of 9. I like to be realistically optimistic!
Ok, give it as much time as you want. Eventually the skeptics will eat crow, however.
