Texas get your fucking shit together

Cases are rising in Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington state, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

Eighteen states were holding steady. Only 11 -- Arizona, Louisiana, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Virginia, Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont and New Hampshire -- saw decreases of new cases of more than 10% compared to the week prior.



Jk our governor just forced stage 3 for all counties so we'll be on the up again soon enough

Hopefully we'll see some amelioration in the Flu season hit thanks to general sanitation and masks etc.
That or we'll get the double tap.

I think it was Filthy @Filthy that showed HK (???) ending their flu season early through covid19 measures last year.
We aren't as consistent as they are, but could see some interventions working.

Hey guys, there are viruses/diseases that are sexually transmitted. The best way to prevent that is by wearing a condom while having sex.

Also, there are viruses/diseases that are airborne. They linger in the air of less ventilated areas such as indoors. The best way to prevent that is to wear a mask.

This is true. It's not a hoax. And it is true regardless of how many people have the virus/disease.

Attention anti-mask people! You are causing small businesses to close, people to lose their livelihoods and commit suicide!

back in February (IIRC) HK hit 0 influenza cases for the month.

I was talking to my sister yesterday, the VA nurse, and I mentioned that 60% of Americans have co-morbidities.
She pointed out that 60% of Americans have been diagnosed with co-morbidities.



she told me about when she first started nursing, morbidly obese patients would come in and wouldn't have diabetes. Then a doctor explained to her that obese people like that are carrying around so much water, that their blood sugar levels don't show up as diabetic. Not to mention people like my 17 yo niece who was diagnosed with diabetes out of the blue.

And then you think about how many cases of "The Silent Killer" heart disease are out there. I was just sitting there shaking my head and then she hit me with "and think of how many people don't have health insurance for an annual visit to be diagnosed, and the number who would have been diagnosed this year but didn't go to the doctor because of COVID..."

does her perspective align with your understanding undiagnosed co-morbidities? I think that may push the number of excess mortalities high enough to offset the prophylactic things we're marginally attempting...like masks. HK is a generally healthier population with better access to diagnostic health care and a better sense of the risks. I don't know if we're in a position to see any of their gains against COVID or flu.

Covid has inflicted more gunshot wounds than bullets have in 2020

Facts don't care about your feelings dude slice

Put your fucking mask on dweeb-bro
This doesn't even make sense. How can you expect people to have honest conversations with you when you say stuff like this? Just remember when you point your finger at someone you have 3 pointed abck at yourself.

Hey Doc, what do reckon is mainly behind such comparatively high death rates in my state compared to Utah?

Victoria: 20,000 cases, 800 deaths

Utah: 70,000 cases, 450 deaths.

Is Mitt Romney's magic underwear guarding the Mormon faithful from the infidel plague? Is Utah's Lord and Saviour - Karl Malone - somehow immune to covid like Magic Johnson is to AIDS and has granted herd immunity to Utah by having previously sexually transmitted it to the entire female population?

I know there are excess death undercounts, but this seems like an extreme difference regardless.

Are all the doctors down here on meth and can't treat coronavirus for shit? Do you reckon US hospitals might be using stuff that our hospitals aren't?

how healthy, wealthy, and white are those populations?

don't forget, you have to come up with an explanation that also explains the excess mortalities in other places.

what's .6% mortality when applied to the entire population of Utah?
what's 4% mortality when applied to the entire population of Victoria?

Utah That's one of the youngest populations in the country. It's a young non-drinking non-smoking healthy population. overall more affluent than much of the other country with lots of healthcare access. They also tested a lot and therefore intervened on cases earlier than places that wait until only the sickest arrive already on the downhill.

Some of the things that we have found that help moderate cases are probably used everywhere. Certain inhaled steroids, recognizing different phenotypes, proning patients, etc.

Protocols on expensive IL-6 inhibitors are probably different. These are typically monoclonal antibodies and each infusion is several thousand dollars. They're not to be used on every patient but even more so I would expect that with the paucity of data out there you find variation and when you use such an expensive tool.
