Happened to drive through one of Brooklyn's "hot spots" last weekend. Almost NO ONE wearing masks on the street. You might see like 2 or 3 people wearing masks for every 100 or so without a mask. Yikes.

- Yep, so not too bad, but also narrow nyc sidewalks and tons of crowds.nb
- And when I say "hot spots" I don't mean fun places to meet party people. I mean areas on temporary re-lockdown because there is so much COVID already.nb

U.S. virus hospitalizations UP 40 PERCENT in the last month. The sharp rise is deeply worrisome, in part, because it is pushing the limits of smaller hospital systems.
More than 75,000 new cases were reported in the U.S. on Thursday, the second-highest daily total nationwide since the pandemic began. Here’s the latest.

- We see far less risk vs avg. And in 85+ greater. But as expected . A major problem with numbers shown is fallacy of averages.deathboy
- Can u walk across a river with an average depth of 5 feet. Average data is great but it's about application. And for media it's cancerdeathboy
- But avg. More cases less deaths =less mortality rate.deathboy
- My point about the averages was directed to mondope. But you’re also being inaccurate saying it’s somehow “not lethal at all”. Anyhow...ben_
- I never said its not lethal. I just stated by evidence its lethalness is almost non existent for most people. older its equal to a hip break or pneumoniadeathboy

There are STILL the equivalent of two 9/11s per week in the US.
How many weeks has it been? Also new cases are trending up again. It’s getting worse.
Thanks Trump
- Where did you see this? 2,977 died in 9/11, Covid deaths for last week were 4,392 it's reduced every week since August...kingsteven
- meanwhile two 9/11's per week die from obesity in the US every week. half a 9/11 from cancer. 100 million 9/11's of stars in the universe. Thanks Trump!kingsteven
- Measuring things in 9/11's is a bizarre one.PhanLo

- Obesity? T swift? Huh?nb
- there hasn't been 5954 deaths in a week in 3 weeks, it's insane to refer to that as two 9/11's, deaths have been decreasing (by ~800 per week) for 10 weeks...kingsteven
- How many people commit suicide every week compared to covid or 9/11? More people die from suicide than any war conflict or terrorism.Ianbolton

- 54k die in the US every week, the vast majority are 65+ and have an underlying condition... sound familiar? there is no co-morbidity for jet liners crashing inkingsteven
- to buildings. if you believe 9/11 was a tragedy (what you are implying by using fatalities as a stat) you should find the very idea of a comparison offensivekingsteven
- The sensationalist headline is likely meant to pull in the “true american patriots”. The vitriol spewed over incorrect numbers is saddening.imbecile

- There are about 45k suicides in the US each year. So I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.nb
- More <65's died from suicide in the US last year than have from Covid - this year its going to be much worse (they don't report suicide stats for > 6 months)kingsteven
- From what I can see the number of deaths hasn't really gone down that much. It's been in the range of 900-1100 per day since the summer.yuekit
- And on Friday...70k new cases in one day. So while nb may have messed up the number of 9/11s I'm not sure his overall point is entirely wrong.yuekit
- https://www.cdc.gov/…kingsteven
- ^ i mean, it's all there - in addition there were also a couple of states that adjusted for previous deaths this week which knocked the count up slightly.kingsteven
- OK I'm confused now...you said 4,392, that site says 810. And if you look the Worldometers site you get a different number, much higher.yuekit
- these are figures when the death occurred, not reported. so they are provisional numbers for the last week but you are right i was taking the number for allkingsteven
- covid+influenza, so the number for last week around half what i mentioned (and yet significantly still reduce by ~800 p/w)kingsteven
- still, i'm not sure if it'll quite reach 700 by the election (or < 100 p/d as i mentioned to you before)kingsteven
- If you go by CDC numbers around 3k people died in the past two weeks, but according to Worldometers it's over 10k.yuekit
- Unless I calculated that wrong which is possible haha...but it also seems possible there is a significant lag in official reporting of deaths with CDC.yuekit
- total deaths on there is 204,613 so i'd say that may be the case. it was just because nb used 'week' as a stat i assumed he must be referring to the official...kingsteven
- either way, there has been a reduction in deaths week to week but as i've mentioned before states are so autonomous it's better to look at them individuallykingsteven
- I love how ppl think of trump like a god. He is all that can giveth or taketh away. Maybe you shouldn't think that way and be a lil more objectivedeathboy

Italy 2nd wave:

Similarly in Sweden:
https://www.worldometers.info/co…Either the virus mutated towards a less aggressive variant, or everyone who could have died from Covid has already died, but this implies much higher penetration into the population than we assume

If the infected-to-dead ratio is the same in both waves, then the real number of infected must have been astronomic in wave 1drgs - Its 1000 vs 50 dead per day in Italy. 20x fold differencedrgs

It's mutated and it's faster and more furious now.
- https://www.news-med…Beeswax
- The higher infectivity and reproduction number means that preventive measures against the D614 strain will be only 70% as efficient against the G614 strain.Beeswax
- This means that both the vaccine coverage and the herd immunity threshold will rise significantly with the G614 strain."Beeswax
- Thanks, ChaynaNBQ00
- If true, this new mutation though more contagious and easily spread seems less lethal. Or doctors have just got a better handle on treatments_niko

My mistake. I saw 900 deaths on Friday and extrapolated.
So here's a nice, list of countries that can be sorted by Covid-19 deaths per capita.
As of Oct 15, we're the TENTH WORST on that list. For the richest country around that also seems to love bragging about how our healthcare system is unfair but responsible for all the world's innovations.... 10th from the bottom is a fucking tragedy.
- the US is top 30 in obesity and income inequality - fairly old population too. it was always predicted to come out comparatively badly.kingsteven

Infectious Disease Expert: The 'Darkest Of The Entire Pandemic' Has Yet To Come
Nina Golgowski·Breaking News Reporter, HuffPost
Sun, October 18, 2020, 1:50 PM EDT·3 mins readMichael Osterholm, a renowned infectious disease expert, told NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday that “the next six to 12 weeks are going to be the darkest of the entire pandemic” and expressed concern that the U.S. lacks a leading voice to guide the public.
“Vaccines will not become available in any meaningful way until early to [the] third quarter of next year. And even then, about half of the U.S. population at this point is skeptical of even taking the vaccine,” said Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.
Osterholm pointed to the daily tally of 70,000 new COVID-19 cases in the U.S. Friday, the highest level since July. Between now and the holidays, the number of COVID-19 cases in the U.S. will likely “blow right through that,” he said.

I was selected for an Imperial College-led antibody test so should be getting a finger-prick blood test in the post in the next couple of weeks. Given my partner had a similar thing, I suspect I'll come out negative, but.. well, might be interesting to see.
Also, should put me at the head of the queue for when the vaccine/population culling trojan horse comes out later this year.
