cyclone77 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 One of my co-workers who tested positive back in January still doesn't have her sense of smell back. No other symptoms though. What a strange virus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I went to IHME for the first time in a few weeks, and needless to say I was shocked when I saw them projecting 948,000 US covid deaths by September 1. https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america?view=cumulative-deaths&tab=trend I noticed the number before I read the paragraph at the top. Basically, they changed their methodology to not make a projection for reported covid deaths, but to include covid deaths that are unreported. You can read about it here: https://www.healthdata.org/special-analysis/estimation-excess-mortality-due-covid-19-and-scalars-reported-covid-19-deaths They believe that there have been just over 900k covid deaths in the US to date. It's a stunning number that initially struck me as too high. But contrary to some who have been arguing that covid deaths are inflated, it's quite likely that the opposite is true. We just don't know by how much. I'm sure more estimates will emerge as to how many people died from covid in this time period. But whether it's 700k, 800k, 900k, it's all bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting that. An interesting read. They are saying that as of now, the US death toll is 905,289 vs. the reported 574,043. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are saying that as of now, the US death toll is 905,289 vs. the reported 574,043. The currently Excess Mortality number from the CDC is 690k. But due to time lagged data that doesn't account for ~40k in the past 7-8 weeks. The CDC excess mortality numbers don't factor in in ~25k flu related deaths that didn't occur last winter (CDC hasn't released their 2020-21 flu burden estimates yet though). IHME probably factored both of these things in assuming most net excess deaths were due to Covid itself as opposed to delayed care, etc. the IHME numbers still looks a bit high maybe, and of course their estimate is subject to some revision. Worldwide IHME estimates actual Covid deaths to be approximate double the official numbers, with Russia, India and Mexico responsible for a lot of the under counting.

South Dakota has similar leadership in a cold climate that actually has seasons and has failed miserably with covid. You just don’t hear about it as much because South Dakota is an afterthought to the vast majority of Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 My brother in law's aunt got the vaccine and is now in the hospital with a 104 fever and low oxygen (84%).
