All excellent videos.
NYC horror stories via Nurse #1
Reasoned view of the Swedish expert Prof. Johan Giesecke.
And Professor Knut Wittkowski
My state, NC tracks deaths in rest homes, residential care facilities and correctional facilities.
Right now 59% of the total deaths attributed to the virus have been in those types of places.
“Right now 59% of the total deaths attributed to the virus have been in those types of places.”
Yeah, but.....
Yeah but - I don’t think your post changes the 59%.
“””Right now 59% of the total deaths attributed to the virus have been in those types of places.”””
The data is staring us in the face. In most states the death rate in long term care facilities is what makes covid look so dangerous.
As we reopen America we need to continue to be vigilant in protecting people at all ages who have comorbidities that make covid very dangerous. And those people who over 65 and those with comorbidities at all ages need to take responsible actions themselves to protect themselves.
Governments cannot protect a person from the common cold.
As the under 65 and healthy ‘herd’ gets back to work and school, they will spread covid among themselves with little impact on the national death rate.
It doesn't, but 41% is still one hell of a lot of people. And "old people" deserve protection too.
A very interesting night’s work. The addition of the Netherlands gives rise to many questions. The smaller ~5M Nations track together but the Netherlands tracks very close to Sweden in deaths & cases/million. Those two Nations are closer in overall population w/NL ~1.5x larger than Sweden.
I wonder about other factors which might have contributed to the higher death rate in the NL & Sw than in their neighbors, either related to response, population factors or migration patterns. Lots to investigate :)
The flattening of the USA curves are encouraging, especially % growth & 7 day mortality curve, fingers crossed. The UK continues to progress and may soon pass Italy’s cases/Million & deaths/million.
Thank you again for sharing your work with us. It’s invaluable to have data I trust & the myriad of ways you break it out makes the process of analyzing much more accessible.
What the data is showing me is that some nursing homes have absolutely inadequate infection control measures. They are not doing enough to protect their patients. Maybe some inspections are in order?
The IHME ‘model’ has been updated and now forecasting 135K fatalities by August 4th. So far this ‘model’ has been grossly over predicting infections and deaths. Current trends you’ve posted don’t support such a projection.
The timing of this ‘update’ seems to suspiciously coincide with the country trying to restart the economic engine.
Thank you for all you do, please add me to your ping list.
The media frequently reports Covid-19 victims as "healthy" people with nothing was wrong with them. Many "healthy" people have multiple co-morbidities. We have a 40% adult obesity rate. Undiagnosed and known illnesses, smoking, vaping, alcohol and drug use, risky lifestyle decisions all add up and take a toll on our ability to have a strong immune response when a virus invades.
Our health status is PRIVATE information. Friends and family don't always know when someone abuses alcohol and uses drugs. Families are shocked to find out they realize a loved one was hiding their addictions….illicit drugs, cocaine, steroids. Patients frequently withhold (hide) their health status from their families and friends. It is their right.
Locking down the healthy didn't help the most vulnerable nursing homes in NJ, PA and NY and MA.
There are so many people with co-morbidities and they will remain at higher risk to succumb to Covid-19. They should take extra precautions.
Every reported (NJ.gov LTC dashboard) Covid -19 death in my hometown ---- was nursing home related.
Looks like the data from China is inaccurate /s
Thx
“”””There are so many people with co-morbidities and they will remain at higher risk to succumb to Covid-19. They should take extra precautions.”””
Gov Ron DeSantis has been doing a great job of emphasizing the risks for younger people with comorbidities.
We have too many people age 20 to 50 with diabetes, obesity, heart issues, addiction issues.
And these people need to be told again and again that if you are 40 years old, 100 pounds overweight, with type 2 diabetes, you are very likely to die if you get infected with covid.
“We the people” cannot and will not stay at home so those people with major health issues can wander freely.
Thank you for the link.
I looked at some things already, but I’ll try to get back
there an look some more.
Thanks Pete. We seem to be seeing quite a bit of that.
Read about one place that protected all their residents with
(and I think his is correct), Hydroxychloroquine and other
things.
I think they lost one out of about fifty.
I agree with your take on things and appreciate the nice
comments.
I think you’re right.
They pulled that number out of you know where.
Not buying it either.
I do expect an uptick, but life goes on and we have to get
back on track. This cannot continue as it is.
