If you started issuing IQ tests to the population at large, you’d suddenly notice an epidemic of morons. There would be just as many morons as there were before, but now you’d be able to identify them without having to listen to them tell you about a spike in Covid cases. will this death be marked as a covid death? 1

Here's the hospitilization data from Ohio ( a few days old and has continued to increase through today) And my docs who work the ER here at Metrohealth in Cleveland tell me they've reopened the extra Covid and ICU space, definitely many more Covid patients they're seeing since June and younger (40s-60s) and definitely very sick. WRT new cases and testing, many more tests administered, positivity rate remains mostly the same (bottomed out in June, now very slowly rising). So you're correct that a large portion, though not all, of Ohio's situation is due to increased testing. However, hospitilizations have always told the true story so I attempted to make this graph nice and big for someone as willfully ignorant of the full story such as yourself. How ironic that you perceive an epidemic of morons.

How ironic that you perceive an epidemic of morons. Even Hospitalizations don’t tell the “true story”. In places that have had high prevalency of the virus some hospitals have reported around 30% of their “COVID-19” hospitalizations as people who were admitted to the hospital for non COVID-19 related reasons. Whatever the COVID-19 Hospitalizations you see have an element of this. 4 hours ago, Big Blitz said: Wherever hasn’t been hit at burnout or near burnout levels are at risk. Australia was never really hit so they are vulnerable. Even though Spain was hit hard, most of these new infections are coming from Barcelona which were relatively Miley hit in comparison to Madrid. Alex has been doing great work that the mainstream media sycophants have either been unwilling or incapable of doing. His larger point is an astute one which is that Temporary lock downs only delay the inevitable. Unless you maintain very strict social distancing measures, severe limits on immigration or don’t have some sort of medical biological explanation, the odds that the virus re emerging is somewhat high.

The potentially good news is that the largest populated cities in all 4 of the largest states have either burnout or are showing signs of reaching that point which is why I think if this theory of burnout is correct that we will be peaking within the next few weeks and hopefully that will prove to be the peak of this second wave. My only concern is that the peak stays at a plateau for an extended period. But if this burnout theory plays out then I don’t believe we will see higher COVID-19 peaks than what we will be seeing at this coming peak.

But if this burnout theory plays out then I don’t believe we will see higher COVID-19 peaks than what we will be seeing at this coming peak. I agree with this, though I watch the data cautiously. School mixing (which I think will be OK) is a big moment, and the fall temp change is another one. Setting aside some societal changes like that, I would think that one of the only big population areas that hasn't been hit hard yet is the NW all the way down to SFO. The Carolinas, TN, and some other places rising now won't put up the big numbers the NE put up, or that TX/FL/SOCAL are/will. If TX/FL/SOCAL follow the NE data, deaths will rise for a week or two, then fall off over 4-6 weeks. I'd think we'd be looking at much better numbers all around in those areas by mid September. 40 minutes ago, 123719bwiqrb said: I dislike your political takes, but I will still buy you a beer sir. We have a common mortal enemy (TB12), and I will set politics aside to slay that dragon. Building on this great post as an aside, the spirit of unity in hating TB12 is something lost in all the CV-19 discussion. Red states hating blue states, blue states hating red states. Florida sucks. NY sucks. If only we were as eager to celebrate the things that unite us (hating Brady) as we were to rip into each other. It's really the pox of the faceless Internet, and the triple-plague of a board like this. I see lots of Americans dying, suffering. It's heartbreaking to see anyone in pain, whether it's the 92 year old in the nursing home who can't see her loved ones in her last years, the waiter out of work, the kid who can't go to school, Chuck Woolery's son, my daughter whose upcoming freshman year of college is going to be whatever it is--but not what anyone expected--I am rooting for 330 million AMERICANS. I wish we stood more united in this feeling and not just sitting here on keyboards and on Twitter (the worst) tearing each other apart. Even as I submit, I feel like this is food for trolls. Raise a beer to all of you! Though on Fridays, I go with a Manhattan when I can. Edited July 24, 2020 by shoshin 1 1
