[Bob434]

[LilFarmer]

FYI, If your state is not listed, I may have updated it at the end of the last thread

[LilFarmer]

They are totals.

Georgia has had its biggest jump,and it’s only the noon update

---

they had a lot of those deaths before most on the cases early this morning if I recall correctly(?)

perhaps their evening update came late last night (past 00z UTC) and will be added today ....so yesterdays count was low and todays may be inflated????

"The Coronavirus Is Scary Enough. Governments Shouldn't Make It Scarier by Withholding Information."

"The point isn't only to provide reassurance to the public, but also to guide policymakers who have to make decisions on things such as opening or closing public schools, libraries, or playgrounds."

I am looking at Worldometer, it is going to be bad. Looks like all the States with High outbreaks are seeing big jumps in deaths.

Ga 10 to 100
PA 29 to 61
NJ 86 to 229
NY 599 to 731

USA 1255 to 1268 This is at 1:08 PM. Many hours left in the day

Not good at all.

[amorphous]

Thanks. It's the source I use too - just checking.

Btw, we need to stay at or below a 12,176 total today; or, at or below 1,305 today alone.

But he does have a YouTube video so I guess there’s that.

[Does so]

The Orthopod nickname goes back generations!

It feels like incoming numbers are doing the Riverdance on any hopeful feeling that were growing with me.

Dunno what’s up with Sunday/ Monday tallies from officials or number crunching sites, but I’m going to be careful to guard against this on future Sundays and Mondays.

Regarding the controversy over the effectiveness of chloroquine, there are many doctors who report success with it against the corona virus, and some who report mixed results. Isn't that the norm with MOST drugs, i.e., they have varying effects on different patients.

Cancer treatments, for example, are wildly expensive yet have a success rate of well-under 100%, depending on the type of cancer. Even common OTC remedies don't always work., so why are the media insisting that if chloroquine isn't 100% effective against the corona virus, it is "snake oil," mere quackery?

I guess the answer is simple: Trump endorsed it. And maybe the second reason is that they - smug about their own safety - are hoping against a cure anytime soon, hoping that the carnage will wipe out Trump's hope for re-election.

[janetjanet998]

NJ 229 up from 86 (got to be backlog)

1356 USA now

[janetjanet998]

5942 tests in NJ if worldometers numbers are correct

3585 were positive

60% positive

[Steve_Seattle]

The site I follow showed a huge drop on Sunday of about 9,000 new cases from the previous high of 34,000+. Yesterday, there were about 30,000 new cases - up from Sunday, but well-under the 34,000 of a couple of days earlier. Sad to say, the early numbers today suggest we might be reaching a new high.

“he left are apoplectic that they are being ignored”

Have you noticed that the Dems are trying to set up committees to oversee the CCP-19 response? They saw Trump getting the job done and now want to steal it away so they can claim credit and redistribute blame. They are such scumbags.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.

“Btw, we need to stay at or below a 12,176 total today; or, at or below 1,305 today alone.”

Prospects for that are not looking good. It’s going to be a bad day.
