Yes you are reading that correctly.
I’ve never been a big fan of mass transit.
My favorite of them is the train, but subways, buses, shuttles, aircraft, they just don’t impress me as being very health friendly.
Doughty, for your consideration. I got the flu shot in Oct. In late Oct I got a cough that kicked my ass. I would compare it the the 2 times I caught the Korea Crud while stationed in SK. Heavy cough very heavy phlegm output in the AM expecially while showering. then the rest of the day I was rub down but could do my job. My symptoms were very much like that Korea Crud. I found this today.

I really think I already had it. San Antonio, Tx.
BTW, It lasted about a week, but the phlegm lasted about two weeks. Late November I did my annual Physical Assessment test. Passed at 94%.
No issues since it cleared up.
Thanks, and thanks for all the good info.
Mass transport is a big problem, especially during peak work travel hours.
Thanks for the mention, and it’s interesting we are seeing
possible signs that this was here two month prior to it
being recognized as being here.
IMO < the CDC should have been doing tons of research in
the nation to find out what was going on, early on.
When you focus on your job, these kinds of things are
obvious to you.
Very glad you’re better now, no matter what you had.
For your immunity, I hope it was COVID-19.
Seems like it would be doesn’t it.
Same. Thanks.
Yep, looking for current infected.
“Thank you.”
Oh my goodness!! When I posted my chart and comment earlier today (#61) I mentioned that I was guessing at the new cases for the day. That was about 3 PM CDT and the total U.S. cases stood at about 20,000 and my guess for the day was 35,000. DID I EVER MISS THAT ONE! The report for the day at Worldometer came in at 25,316! I was only off by 10,000 cases! We have not seen a number like that since 3/21, last Tuesday. That makes yesterday our first peak (more on peaks below).
I’ve done more research on several fronts today. First, an analysis of testing and the growth of testing and second, a quick view of a few countries and when they hit their peaks — some had more than one peak.
Up until today, for all practical purposes, we have not shown any let-up in growth per day of cases (no peaks). That may have changed today! If my initial numbers are correct and hold, we have gone 29 days since about 100 cases were reported. Other than Italy, that is beyond the second peak of the countries I viewed. Most were considerably better, with the exception of Germany. They were 29 days — and that was their second peak!
Regarding testing, the 3-day moving average for daily testing today was about 161K tests. The prior day (3/4) the number of test was 216K. The 216K was considerably higher than the prior seven days. The number of tests jumped considerably on 3/4 and was down today to 128K. I’m sure we all believe the testing will certainly grow.
I will post my chart updates tomorrow for thoughts and comments. In the meantime, if this is correct, it is the break we have been looking for!
Good
Thank you
This guy at MIT Technology Review blames CDC and FDA for the testing debacle.
Why the CDC botched its coronavirus testing
The first testing kits from the Centers for Disease Control had a simple fault, and red tape prevented other labs from creating their own.
