Bizarre piece from Russia, claiming deaths are dropping when they are clearly increasing. "Sunday had lowest deaths in a week". Um, like EVERY Sunday. It was the highest Sunday death count since the end of May. The "numerology" of this piece sounded remarkably similar to those who jump on and post these "it's over" stories based on a Sunday or Monday report.
Based on the "new cases" this wave has peaked, and will see a corresponding falloff in deaths within a couple weeks. Hospitalizations also appear to be falling off here in CA, but that info is hard to get on a national level. I'm optimistic that we will see a downward trend within 2 weeks, at least in the current hot spots. There might be more ripples, but hopefully smaller in amplitude.
Yeah, that’s my take too. Every Monday someone comes out with the “cases are falling” headline. I’m still keeping my head down, waiting for the long term trends.
We’ll see what school starting up does a few weeks after that.
This isn’t a sweep through and kill them within a week virus. It smolders and builds up a head of steam. It took a cpl months to do this in the southern states that reopened in May.
And referring to that particular article, tests results are delayed by a lot in most places, TX and FL both shut down testing facilities in hotspots due to tropical storms. So those numbers will be down irrespective of it being a weekend.
