Italy 2nd wave:
https://www.worldometers.info/co…Check the death rate, though
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
- That seems to be the case pretty much everywhere.MondoMorphic
- Less tests in march so actual numbers of infections were much higher thensrhadden

- "Less tests in march"
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
- been posting about this for months, multiple reasons behind it. but pandemic waves only exist for influenza. deaths will naturally plateaukingsteven
- Doesn't imiply any mutation at all. The treatments are now documented and can be implemented earlier and more effectively.BusterBoy

It's mutated and it's faster and more furious now.

- 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
- ...or we're realizing now how widespread infections are and that its mortality rate is far lower, closer to what the CDC has been saying.MondoMorphic

"We think we’re going to have a vaccine in the pretty near future. And if we do, we’re going to really be a big step ahead. And if we don’t, we’re going to be like so many other cases, where you had a problem come in, it’ll go away — at some point, it’ll go away. It may flare up, and it may not flare up.

In late June, a Peace Corps volunteer evacuated from West Africa was told that the rabies vaccine of her dog, a terrier mix named Socrates, was not valid. Rabies vaccines are marked with pink dye, and a photo of Socrates’ vaccination showed a clear liquid, a CDC email said. Border authorities said Socrates had to be sent back to Africa, revaccinated and quarantined there for 28 days before returning. The Peace Corps volunteer sparked a #SaveSocrates outcry on social media.
CDC experts told McGowan that the last foreign dog with rabies that slipped through had cost more than $500,000 in public health charges, including shots for 44 people who had been near the animal, an email shows. Making an exception threatened to render the policy unenforceable for the 500 animals that are deported every year.
At a time when the pandemic had killed nearly 130,000 Americans, McGowan spent an hour and a half on the phone with the HHS general counsel and other senior officials to figure out how to make an exception for a dog. All the while, he told colleagues, his mind kept returning to the fact that the same administration was using the CDC’s quarantine power to deport thousands of children at the border with Mexico.
Later that day, Brian Harrison, the HHS chief of staff and a former labradoodle breeder, announced the liberation of Socrates. Secretary Azar tweeted out the news with the hashtag #SaveSocrates.
Privately, McGowan fumed.
“He was sad, downtrodden and defeated,” a colleague said. “This was really the final straw for him: How we are going to let dogs in, but basically we’re going to require children to be carted off and out of the country? And all in the name of public health.”
McGowan resigned in August.

USA reported 74,000 cases yesterday, France reported 41,000.
And actually many countries in Europe are seeing record number of cases. Meanwhile here in Asia the numbers are still very low.
Is it safe to say the weather does have a significant impact as people guessed early on? If so I wonder how bad it will get during the really cold months.
- When it's cold, you stay home weekends + evenings... so less people mixing might actually reduce cases.shapesalad
- Looking at things from France, I wouldn't say weather makes any difference. Most people around me wear masks where mandatory but are super lax otherwisespl33nidoru
- They will meet friends for dinner or drinks (hence the curfew now), no masks during most meetings as considered inconvenient, and companies don't encourage WFHspl33nidoru
- Hardly ever see anyone washing their hands unless made to, they'll touch everything though and keep messing with their masks, they don't get simple instructionsspl33nidoru
- ^ yeah it's almost like the mask become a virus collecting surface which the user then wipes hand over when fiddling with it.shapesalad
- Yeah obviously there are a million different factors but the record numbers in so many northern countries at once is what makes me wonder.yuekit
- I think it comes down to people being tired of it + the illness not being scary enough (it's no ebola). Imho a vaccine is our only way out of this.spl33nidoru
- still lots of suckers hanging in bars getting drunk , hugging and singing.. 60% of infections are in private meetings in austria..no one gives a shit anymore.neverscared
- lockdown coming.neverscared
- It's the same thing in Germany. People ignoring social distancing in queues, wearing a mask, but only over their mouths on public transport ...Continuity
- ... and we've added 11k cases daily two days in a row.Continuity
- And Marcus Söoder has already warned people in Bavaria a couple of days ago that a lockdown is coming, unless people get their shit together.Continuity
- *Markus Söder, christ.Continuity
- We closed the country for like 100 cases back in Spring, now we rock 5000 cases daily and masks are mandatory everywhere, everything closed too...oh wellgrafician
- "When it's cold, you stay home weekends + evenings... so less people mixing might actually reduce cases" you don't have a clue how viruses work do you?fadein11

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.

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.
- Outdoors?Nairn
- byegrafician
- Yep, so not too bad, but also narrow nyc sidewalks and tons of crowds.********
- 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.********
