dan11295 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 -In hospital: 100,226 (+1,535) -In ICU: 19,396 (+408) The high ICU/overall ratio of the increase would imply hospitals are only taking more severe cases in general now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even want to think about what the numbers are going to be in two weeks I suspect in many locations practical capacity limits are being approached, regardless of how many open beds a state says it has on a dashboard. You can open overflow facilities but without adequately trained staff they are limited in usefulness. Already reading reports about patients who might normally be hospitalized being sent home with oxygen and a pulse oximeter if their oxygen saturation level isn't too low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cases were already rising there at that time but exploded after that. How much of it is seasonality and other factors besides Thanksgiving is hard to say. I'd bet Thanksgiving had a lot to do with it. Most people I know, my family included, canceled and remained home. But a lot of people flaunted the recommendations and went ahead with multi-household gatherings. Cases started exploding a week or two later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you know Canadian Thanksgiving seems to pale greatly in cultural importance than American Thanksgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwohweather Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 It’s really hitting the fan in Wisconsin and the Republican legislature wants to pass legislation to absolve all businesses and schools of liability for COVID along with forcing all schools to be in person by end of January full time no matter what!.Should just close all schools until next Fall. These K-12 kids are getting a very substandard 5 quarters of education and it aids transmission. The hell are we going to see in the Fall of 2021 once vaccination levels are high? Too many kids are going to be behind and unprepared for college. Plus could save money if you furlough all the teachers at a reduced salary.

Hoosier Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Feels bad to even say it but hopefully we can hold the daily death average to 3000-3500 at peak. Even that would suggest some 4k days on the higher days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanksgiving in Canada is not as big a deal as it is in the US, but people still generally spend the long weekend with close family and often travel. My observation is that in the US Thanksgiving and Christmas are on-par, while in Canada Christmas easily takes the cake as the bigger celebration. I think we had somewhat of a bump from Thanksgiving, but there were also other factors that were also contributing to increasing caseload (weather, schools back in, general COVID fatigue etc.). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, I agree with this. Thanksgiving and Easter here are on par where its normally close family dinners (10-15 people ect..) whereas Christmas is when my friends and family fly "home" to Toronto from Calgary, Vancouver, Edmonton, Halifax ect.. and its the typical US thanksgiving feel where we see distant family, head to a bar to catch up with old friends ect.. Thanksgiving though is pretty engrained in Ontario (cant speak for other provinces) where there's town fall fairs, closing up the cottage, family time. That all said Christmas for Canada is going to be a mess I think. Most of my friends didn't even really comment on US thanksgiving being crazy as they themselves have already booked tickets home for Christmas and some in Ontario have booked ski trips out to Alberta ect.. Lots of travel I think is going to happen in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 At/near the daily case record in IN. There was a small backload of 400 some cases added in today. Generally speaking though, it seems like the plateau has been reached and we may even be starting to trend up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 The local mayor tried to put some teeth into Governor Holcomb's mask mandate last week by announcing that at the officer's discretion, a $25 ordinance violation fine will be levied and escalating for repeat offenses. Of course, a protest is being planned for this Saturday, with at least one of the planners being a local businessman. I considered going into his restaurant with a mask but no shoes or shirt just to see if I get a reaction. Unfortunately, it probably wouldn't phase him, although it would make a point. In the meantime, my father-in-law just tested positive. I'm sure glad that my wife and I refused to go to her family's Thanksgiving get together. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
