SARS-CoV-2: Electric Superflu

Thanks. Do you have the screenshot from new hospitalizations? I wonder if they change to wording to “Change in New Hospitalizations”, like this one. If so that could explain the discrepancy in the #s I’m seeing on this site: https://covidtracking.com/data/state/new-york/

Cuomo is only looking at net change, which would make sense as he wants to know how fast the beds are filling up. But this tracking site is looking at new admittances - which is more helpful to see trends and look for a peak.

State-by-State Reopening in Phase II. Individual states can move to Phase II when they are able to safely diagnose, treat, and isolate COVID-19 cases and their contacts. During this phase, schools and businesses can reopen, and much of normal life can begin to resume in a phased approach. However, some physical distancing measures and limitations on gatherings will still need to be in place to prevent transmission from accelerating again. For older adults (those over age 60), those with underlying health conditions, and other populations at heightened risk from COVID-19, continuing to limit time in the community will be important.

Public hygiene will be sharply improved, and deep cleanings on shared spaces should become more routine. Shared surfaces will be more frequently sanitized, among other measures. In addition to case-based interventions that more actively identify and isolate people with the disease and their contacts, the public will initially be asked to limit gatherings, and people will initially be asked to wear fabric nonmedical face masks while in the community to reduce their risk of asymptomatic spread. Those who are sick will be asked to stay home and seek testing for COVID-19. Testing should become more widespread and routine as point-of-care diagnostics are fully deployed in doctors’ offices.

While we focus on state-by-state reopening of activities in a responsible manner and based on surveillance data, we note that states may move forward at a county or regional level if these conditions vary within the state and that coordination on reopening among states that share metropolitan regions will be necessary.

Not sure if this was posted but it seems pretty accurate as to what re-opening will look like.

Is that second picture in Lisbon? What a beautiful hillside area!

Porto

Porto is a coastal city in northwest Portugal known for its stately bridges and port wine production. In the medieval Ribeira (riverside) district, narrow cobbled streets wind past merchants’ houses and cafes. São Francisco Church is known for its lavish baroque interior with ornate gilded carvings. The palatial 19th-century Palácio de Bolsa, formerly a stock market, was built to impress potential European investors.

warning: AEI was the think tank that engineered both the Iraq war, and, more problematically, the whitewashing of the Tom Brady deflation conspiracy. Not credible!

‘I don’t see any virus flying around!’ - Belarus leader

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has laughed off the suggestion that his country should try to stem the spread of the coronavirus, because he can’t see the virus “flying around”.

Speaking to a TV reporter at an indoor ice hockey match, he also claimed that crowds at the match were fine because the coldness of the stadium would prevent the virus from spreading.

There is no evidence that this could be the case and the coronavirus cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Unlike most of Europe, Belarus has not placed any restrictions on sports events.

“There are no viruses here,” Mr Lukashenko said. “You haven’t seen them flying around, have you? I don’t see them either! This is a fridge. Sport, particularly the ice, this fridge here, that’s the best antiviral cure!”

Ok I’m really getting over every single person on earth who has been sick over the last few months now being convinced it was coronavirus. This is so fucking stupid.

Never seen digestive issues as a symptom for COVID.

Apparently half of Liberty University has the virus. Somebody indict Jerry Falwell Jr. for manslaughter when these kids start dying.

I remember undrafted’s father was Asshole Of The Month in one of the Hustler magazines that I got my hands on as a kid. Fruit don’t fall from the tree.

Exactly, if the death toll ends up in the millions, 200 thousand people still perished.

Really though I might be dumber than this person for actually thinking I could get through to them…
