I’m looking for the ability to say that a 46-year-old male died in zip code 85001 on 7/7/2020 (or the week thereof). I’ve seen news stories reporting such a thing as happening. I would like to find a part of the country where that is available in database form.
I’m curious why would you want to go back to being hooked on sugar/salt?
You did the hard part by going a year cold turkey without sugar then saw how damaging even a bit of sugar is to your body once you’d eliminated the need.
Your post reads like getting your tolerance back for super salty or sugary foods is a good thing.
I think the slight decline we are seeing now is mostly due to almost nationwide mask mandates starting over the past few weeks. Science! It works!
Are you sure it wasn’t from Pence praying harder?

This exactly, but if we give up and open schools in the next couple weeks, we are just going to fuck everything all up again. We don’t wear masks around our family members, so one germ infested monkey that infects the rest of his or her class sets off a huge vector to all the adults in the area.

Ya restarting schools will just trigger an even bigger wave 1.3 I fear.
I’m going to be adjusting my SDI guess for Maricopa to 35 and will be watching for whether that holds (I originally thought it was 40+). If they’re really 35, they’ve been significantly over that (still below 40) three out of the last four weeks.
If the movement down is real, which graphing suggests it is, then they’ll still reduce for at least a few more weeks as long as they stay above 35. Looking at the graph, they got hammered just falling below 35 for a couple of weeks. I think there’s enough data to suggest that was the issue, but I do think being at SDI 35 for them is not enough to reduce spread and more than that is.

THey might be using cameras with analytics to keep count of people entering and leaving.
My coworkers are expressing the same thing. Im expressing the same thing. My job requires a lot of attention to detail which I’m good at. But I have been slipping up a bit lately.
Everybody at my firm just feels like they’re working all the time with no payoff. It’s tough, mentally.
I"m also not sleeping very well lately either, except when I eat some cannabis chocolate.
I hate to say it but we really miss the routine of life - gymnastics for the kid on Mondays, racquetball for me, piano and roller skating on wednesday, racquetball on wednesday, date nights out on weekends, backyard BBQs and dinners with friends.
It difficult and there’s and we’re having to find what little joy there is in other things.

Here’s a CSV file of cases for Ohio.

Haha, replaced that super-shady looking link with a more serious one.

Dad update:
He is doing well. He’s off oxygen now. The plan is to finish his course of Remdesivir and get discharged Tuesday. He had to get moved out of the Covid unit, because it is full and he was the most stable patient. Not sure where he got moved to, he didn’t explain. They are also not testing him before they discharge him like they had been doing, because they are out of rapid tests.

What’s infuriating about the Czech Republic is that the country supposedly has the ability to process 15,000 tests but does only 8,000. This has been a problem since the beginning and has never been solved.
This situation could be way better if the full testing capacity could be used. Now it’s worse than all of our neighbors.
Fantastic news. I hope he continues to improve and gets this scare behind him/you soon.
My post really isn’t a response to this, but this reminded me of the story I wanted to share. I “evacuated” north to St Augustine in case the hurricane hit south Florida, and was hanging out with my uncle and his girlfriend. My uncle and Inhave a good relationship. He taught me how to surf and we traveled to Costa Rica every summer when I was in highschool to surf. But he’s pretty conservative and the last couple times we have hung out he has wanted to talk politics. I avoid it like the plague, because I love him and the conversations will only lead to pain. Anyway, we met up this morning to check the surf and he started talking about covid and how a couple people
He knows, both surfing buddies, have gotten it and are still
Having issues. He remarks to his girlfriend, the people that say it’s just the flu are wrong, this is way worse… and I just wanted to break things. NO FUCKING SHIT, IT AINT THE FLU. INFORMED PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TWLLING YOU THIS SINCE IT STARTED. It’s so depressing. I know there are lots of people out there who won’t ever realize something is serious until it affects them, but it feels so
Much worse when you see that mentality in action in someone you care about. Anyway, no new info here. I’m just venting. His girlfriend also asked me if I had heard of this Q Anon thing, and I was like yeah, it’s ducking crazy and stupid. Then my uncl says, well I agree with some of the core things they say they stand for… I had to leave.

Schools opening may mess up your SDI’s correlation.
Adults can all work from home and get delivery and never leave but if their kid goes to school…
We’ll probably still see a correlation in SDI lowering, but it might take longer to show the spread since it will probably have to be second generation before it shows up as really obvious due to kids tending more toward asymptomatic (I still don’t know if I buy this). I’d guess that would probably start showing up at week 4 in places that haven’t done great in SDI (possibly week 3), and in week 5 or 6 for places that have done well. Considering that most of the places that are all in on opening schools have done not great in SDI, I think the effects will show up within 4 weeks. It might even be sooner if a bunch of teachers get sick.
Great to hear.
The number of deaths from coronavirus in Iran is nearly triple what Iran’s government claims, a BBC Persian service investigation has found.
The government’s own records appear to show almost 42,000 people died with Covid-19 symptoms up to 20 July, versus 14,405 reported by its health ministry.
The number of people known to be infected is also almost double official figures: 451,024 as opposed to 278,827.

So that would give Iran a CFR of about 9.3% vs. reported 5.2%? With a sample size of 450k cases. Yikes.
It must mean millions infected versus the reported numbers?
