I know, right!!!! What the HECK!!!!!

Deaths won’t tell you where the inflection points are. Numbers is what you use to find the inflection points. # new dead is your best number to find the inflection point. How can you recognize it? When the # new dead starts doubling every two, three, four days or whatever. Once you have that inflection point for # new dead, the inflection point for # new cases is ten days before that.

The only thing I want to know is where the inflection points are. You can do this with the country, state, county, pick anything you want. If you can get the data you can do it yourself. Once you have a doubling you have enough data the signal is coming out of the noise.

That isnt even good data as seen by the teenager in california.

Apparently, his septic shock was caused by something else ..ahem...

I bet he doesnt get included in the death data.

LOL! No offense taken!

I’ve lost about 10 lbs, with the associated reduction in BP and blood glucose. Not much I can do with the age or scorched lungs.

We’re hunkered down purdy good here...

Gov. Greg Abbott orders air travelers from New Orleans and around New York to self-quarantine

https://www.texastribune.org/2020/03/26/texas-orders-self-quarantine-air-travelers-new-york-and-new-orleans/

LOLOL!!! Sure, Gov. How’s this gonna work?? You don’t think these folks are going to stop at a store, to buy some items, gather with family, etc?

NEWSFLASH!! The infected have already entered the Lone Star State. :-(

Diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure are the primary characteristics of metabolic syndrome. 46% of Americans are metabolically unwell.

This article again: COVID-19 Disease: ORF8 and Surface Glycoprotein Inhibit Heme Metabolism by Binding to Porphyrin

Takes us back again to intercellular zinc and ACE2 expression. CCP-19 is a systemic disorder and not just respiratory that binds to all ACE2 organs expressing both RNA and Protein ACE2.

Metabolic syndrome also is not just a condition of the aged in the US. That is why we are seeing a disproportionate amount of young cases here.

You do know that the ships are meant to be used for the usual (non-corona) hospital cases that there would not be room for in the big land hospitals right now? That’s why not so many ICU beds.

Is there an updated list of morbidities?

Maybe a graphic needs to be made with them....for FluBros 😱

Single payer won’t be because of anything that happens to the over 65’s.

It’ll be the 35-55’s who end up with catastrophic bills they’ll never be able to pay. And never able to retire.

“I thought last month was the “beginning.” What happened?”

Last month there were less than a hundred diagnosed CV cases in the US, now there are almost 80,000.

So, I guess that happened.

[cgbg]

You nailed it—the risk in the US is higher for younger folks than it is in Asia, for example.

The idiots at CDC _totally_ missed this—no excuses for those clowns.

[Jane Long]

Hmmmm.....the younger age thing is happening in GA, too. 🤔

[LilFarmer]

It’s crazy.

I’m convinced we may be too nice or PC as a country to do what it takes to slow this down. I hope I’m wrong.

[Black Agnes]

I dunno.

shutting down supply chains that might never actually return sounds kind of like real ‘fight’ to me.

[LilFarmer]

Yes. We’ve had a lot of younger deaths too.

AZ

508 cases, 8 deaths

https://www.azdhs.gov/preparedness/epidemiology-disease-control/infectious-disease-epidemiology/index.php#novel-coronavirus-home

Comment: just based on my watching these cases for the past few weeks. It appears that you can make a pretty accurate guess that there will be 1 death per 50 cases, with good healthcare.
