How Pandemic-Related Stress May Be Impacting Your Runs (5/14/20)
I don’t know anything about the poster, sorry. I just thought the graph was interesting. The 7-day avg is trending up.
I have been tracking GA since day one. I am having a hard time reconciling my numbers with GDPH. for example, I graph numbers from the same time every day, it doesn’t look like they are doing that. It’s all very confusing.
Yes, but the 7 day average increase is solely due to the 1 day spike. If that trend continues over the next few days, GA has a problem that will last for a month or more, and other states will be forced to dial back their plans to open. Germany seems to be having success, but they are being more measured and targeted than us.
It's going to be a challenge with effectively "50 Countries" each with their own policies. Heck, even counties are quite different. Don't like LA's rules? Drive a few miles to the OC or Ventura.
This is not about me criticizing our governor or anything, this is about me knowing what is really happening in my area as we have business decisions to make based on that information. Other people's well-being depend on us making decisions based on good info.
The last entry for that chart is based on today’s noon update. There will be more added around 6pm.
It looks like all the low numbers are Sundays—so it will be interesting what next week (after Sunday) looks like for GA.
Yes, they do not report much on Saturdays or Sundays, there is a dip in my charts every week lol
With the caveat that this is from China, this is the first study I’ve seen regarding this:
Clinical Characteristics and Results of Semen Tests Among Men With Coronavirus Disease 2019
Among 50 patients identified, 12 patients were unable to provide a semen specimen because of erectile dysfunction, being in a comatose state, or dying prior to recruitment; therefore, a total of 38 patients were enrolled for semen testing. Of these 38 participants who provided a semen specimen, 23 participants (60.5%) had achieved clinical recovery and 15 participants (39.5%) were at the acute stage of infection. Results of semen testing found that 6 patients (15.8%) had results positive for SARS-CoV-2, including 4 of 15 patients (26.7%) who were at the acute stage of infection and 2 of 23 patients (8.7%) who were recovering, which is particularly noteworthy. But there was no significant difference between negative and positive test results for patients by age, urogenital disease history, days since onset, days since hospitalization, or days since clinical recovery. The clinical characteristics of patients with positive test results for SARS-CoV-2 in semen are shown in the Table.

Oops. From other reports, Georgia is patting itself on the back for opening up safely. That chart, with a spike in new hospitalizations, tells a different story.
A nearby AT&T food drive was cancelled. Don’t know why.
Mothers’ Day spike?
Or even the altered system of measurement is showing increase now.
I think it’s more than stress. I come back after a 3/4-mile walk exhausted physically. I’m either totally out of any shape whatsoever after not working for two months, or it’s corona. I’m going to try building up my strength by taking two of these walks per day.
Purposely.
“EXCLUSIVE: Virus researchers uncover new evidence implying COVID-19 was created in a lab (Australia, 5/16/20)”
I would be interested in the follow up on this research when they gets some peer reviews to confirm there findings.
Yep, I think so. Their chart back dates cases to the day they first had symptoms, which keeps current weeks looking like a drop off
‘Weird as hell’: the Covid-19 patients who have symptoms for months
Researchers keen to work out why some people are suffering from ‘long tail’ form of the virus
EXCLUSIVE: Virus researchers uncover new evidence implying COVID-19 was created in a lab
Preliminary study results suggest virus was produced in lab cultures using human cells.
May 16, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – A team of Australian scientists has produced new evidence that the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 is optimized for penetration into human cells rather than animal cells, undermining the theory that the virus randomly evolved in an animal subject before passing into human beings, and suggesting instead that it was developed in a laboratory.
