Does this mean that at that rate, herd immunity is simply approximately 3 months away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanDe680 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 FYI, the top six worst states today, as has been the past weeks, are all great lakes states IL MN WI IN MI OH So far, these states represent 42% of today's total cases and 36% of today's deaths. Pretty sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The long term effected will be in the 10's of millions. States need extra facilities to handle these excessive cases with medical personal treating normal sickness and injury as usual. A place where they can be cordoned together and tagged, especially in time of death. Its a gruesome thought, but its where we are at. Vaccines will then be used to stop any more future outbreaks. You say that so easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their "Eating what they sow" will cause hospitals to fill affect and affect those rule followers that get in a car accident or have a child with appendicitis, that now can't get life saving treatment. It's like a Chess game and you have to be many moves ahead to have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ontario came out with new modelling and best case scenario we have 2500 new cases a day by December and worst case is 6K+. No matter what though ICU is strained within 2 weeks and if worst case happens we join you guys with our hospitals just being completely overrun.

Hoosier Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Given the rate of growth, we may be up near 200k late next week. I do wonder if the test turnaround time will start to suffer because of this onslaught. Perhaps it already is in some areas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the thought was the top positive return was around 200-250k because of that. Of course if the rate of positivity goes up much more then those numbers could even be passed.

StormfanaticInd Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 The cases are going up scary fast today. There is an outside chance we could hit 200k this weekend with the Halloween spike starting. Smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got tested again yesterday morning and they said that due to an increase in the number of tests to not expect my results for 4-6 days. I got tested a second time due to exposures to two people last week who are positive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should’ve been more effort to fund tests with accurate, rapid results. In addition to increasing the risk of exposure, people who have common colds or the flu and can’t work while they wait 2-6+ days for a negative result are just wasting everyone’s time.

Hoosier Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 The IHME model updated, and has almost 440k deaths by March 1. Notably, that factors in a big drop in mobility starting very soon, which may not actually occur or could at least be interrupted by holiday travel, etc., which suggests a worse outcome is plausible.

Chambana Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 My son is in pre-K and goes to a private academy, Champaign county just urged ALL elementary schools to close until January. So far his school remains open. My brothers kids go to a separate school (1st, 3rd grade) they just received emails they are remote now until January.
