There is a difference between probable cases we are counting and just natural causes for at home deaths. They arent all being reported as covid. Stop. Phineas C, PhD, MD said so Bx.

ErinInTheSky Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Honestly it’s a good sign Georgians are still social distancing, it shows that the population has internalized the message enough to minimize the damage done by early reopening s in some states.

The new positives reported each day would eventually decrease if the infection rate of the virus slows (R0<1), even with increased testing. This happened in New York State, where they have seen both a decrease in # of positives and in increase in # of tests. https://covid19tracker.health.ny.gov/views/NYS-COVID19-Tracker/NYSDOHCOVID-19Tracker-DailyTracker?%3Aembed=yes&%3Atoolbar=no&%3Atabs=n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverted_Trough Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Even if you include "probable" COVID deaths, we are still likely under-counting across the world. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/04/28/us/coronavirus-death-toll-total.html The trolls will have you believe that suddenly this spike in deaths was due to natural causes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGolfBro Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 12 minutes ago, ErinInTheSky said: One week in, Georgia's reopening appears to be doing nothing. Most restaurants still closed, nail salons opening are not getting customers, etc. I've heard some reports on NPR and have seen a lot on social media about this (I do social media monitoring as part of my job). The governor simply rescinded an order that made it illegal to operate certain types of businesses. None of the businesses are required to open their doors and nobody is required to show up. It’s going to be a slow return to any type of normalcy even after stay at home/close your business or else orders are lifted. But better to start now IMO, so the process can work it self out over the next couple months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverted_Trough Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 It also appears that the predictions of people flooding to restaurants and malls once the orders are lifted have turned out to be wrong. Go figure. People will default to their primitive instincts when they think their safety and security are in danger. The economy is hampered primarily by fear of the virus -- not government restrictions - and it was in free-fall before the restrictions were put in place. Address the virus and you'll address the economy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality, all reopen is going to do is get people spreading again without much of an economic benefit. In all honesty I don’t think either of these are true. I don’t think anyone believes that simply reopening will bring the economy roaring back. I also don’t think that all reopening is going to do is get people spreading without much an economic benefit. We simply cannot stay closed forever because we are afraid of spreading the virus. The virus is going to spread. How much and how fast depends on how responsible we are as a society. We have to reopen when it is safe to do so. It’s not going to bring the economy roaring back but every little bit helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Pretty crazy findings from Iran (yes, I know) that point to a very low IFR (flu territory) and wide spread for COVID-19. If we believe the China numbers (I don’t, but I think some people do), then I think this is at least worth a look. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.26.20079244v1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
