These charts are pretty interesting. I was wondering why they weren’t per capita but it turns out epidemiologists don’t favor that approach. Epidemics don’t necessarily spread faster in larger populations.
-
Yes it’s an interesting question. I forget where I saw it but I saw somewhere that they think most of the benefit of school closing comes from the fact it caused the adults to stay home more.
-
Same here, half price and they are also paying the staff the same.
-
Yeah I’m also wondering if I should continue to pay for daycare, i was planning on pulling my kids out this summer since I’m a teacher and I can look after them over the summer.
-
Terrible news. Sending my thoughts their way.
-
This is pretty interesting
-
This sounds about right to me. The other question that will be interesting is will the school day look the same when schools open back up.
-
The Maryland positive rate has been fairly stubborn recently. Will be interesting to see how much it changes if hogan can really expand testing.
-
I fully understand all the reasons why daily case counts aren’t the ideal metric but I really like to rile you up. The last 3 times I’ve posted the 30k thing it’s just to get a response from you.
-
No ones mad. I think I’m going to stop antagonizing you now though. While It’s extremely fun/entertaining for me but I can see why this thread would be better off if I stopped doing this. So I’ll stop. Anyways have a good evening.

What are you even talking about? A new virus isn’t analogous to a bomb that goes off once on one day.
-
Hahaha ok. It must be fun to live in your world where you can just make up all the rules to fit the narrative you like best.
-
Our testing volume has plateaued recently. If we keep finding the same number of cases on approx the same number of tests that shows the prevalence might not be dropping very much. The current volume of cases is causing thousands of deaths a day. I’m not sure what’s complicated about that for you.
-
I really don’t know what your point is sorry.
-
lol what?
-
So if you go to a country where covid isn’t prevalent and run a couple hundred thousand tests you’ll find the same number of + cases?
-
That seems like a reasonable guess to me.
-
Eventually to get fully back to normal that numbers going to have to go WAY down. I know you’re in denial about that still.
-
Today was initially looking more hopeful with NY and NJ coming in lower but we’re back up around 1800 deaths anyway, also closing in on the daily 30,000 cases. Not good.
-
So let’s make the assumption that those who are poor, elderly, and have preexisting conditions are the least able to absorb the downstream economic consequences of this and remain healthy. That’s a similar demographic dying disproportionately from covid. Why do you care less about the Covid victims and more about these downstream victims?
-
But what if those that die of these downstream affects also overwhelmingly have preexisting conditions? Will you be as dismissive of their deaths and their families suffering or is that only reserved for covid?
-
Yes I believe they lost to the kings in a series that was closer than the final tally suggested.
-
I’m not sure why people are losing their minds over this pic. It seems from afar that most people are in small groups with distance in between. As long as they don’t let it get too packed it’s probably a good idea to have some beaches open so people don’t congregate in confined spaces indoors.
-
NJ and NY deaths down around a hundred each from yesterday, hopefully the trend continues and that truly means we’re over the hump in nyc metro in terms of death.
