But like the mayor of shark city in Jaws said, if we don’t open our beaches, the $ goes somewhere else. Many will follow suit.

I think they’re adding probable deaths from NYC that occurred over a long period of time. Worldometer added them a few days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A week ago I thought we had peaked at 2,000 because we had a few days with less than 2,000 in a row. 2,500 today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowtoRain Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Interesting read about the Covid outbreak at the Smithfield plant in South Dakota: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52311877 Similar issues (hopefully not as grave) here on Delmarva with poultry processing, Allen-Harim is having growers "depopulate" 2 million birds due to workers out sick at their processing facilities. https://www.wmdt.com/2020/04/nearly-two-million-delmarva-chickens-being-killed-not-processed-amidst-covid-19-staffing-shortage/ I imagine this is occurring through out rural areas and will be how outbreaks spread rapidly in low pop. states.

ErinInTheSky Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 For the IHME model to be right, death counts will have to come down very quickly on the back side of this. Just 10 days of 2250 deaths would send it past the projected 60k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErinInTheSky Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I’ll say this: Florida reopening beaches may ACTUALLY be a good test of what reopening has on case and death counts and the rest of us states staying closed til May 15 can use it to evaluate!

The thing is we’ve had almost 40,000 deaths, most of which occurred in the last 2-3 weeks. There’s no statistic you can concoct whether it be death rates, hospitalizations, comparisons to other diseases, etc, that can make that go away. It’s a tremendous amount of death and suffering people have had to absorb in a short period of time. As much as you’d like to believe “nyc is fine” as you said last night, it isn’t.

It feels super raw right now, but in a few years we will look back on smoothed out annual and decadal death statistics and this will not even have budged the charts. Public health people and politicians need to think much bigger picture than death rates. Also, many of the deaths are in nursing homes. You can self isolate in your basement in a hazmat suit for years and not prevent that. This virus is going to kill people no matter what. Is 20k deaths way better than 30k somehow? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
