COVID-19 Pandemic: Transmissions, Deaths, Treatments, Vaccines, Interventions and More...

Would love to see this data as well.
My hunch is that the state doesn't have it. Would take too much resources to have hospitals break it down that far. It is pretty clear that Murphy prefers the heavy hand on the spectrum of Covid policymaking, so if it doesn't suit his needs, and it would take resources to create/define that datum, it doesn't exist.
 
It would be helpful to know what conditions are more likely to result in death. Then, those people with those conditions can take extraordinary precautions. Why wouldn't we want to know this? I have no idea what percentage of the population it would apply to.
I agree it would be help, but that's not what you asked for. You asked for the IFR for people without any conditions. I am wondering what the benefit of knowing that is when making guidelines for prevent further infections?
Thanks for the information. So do we know the IFR for someone who is healthy (no underlying health conditions? It seems to me that this would be very valuable to know when making guidelines to prevent further infections.
I think knowing this isn't all that helpful, but knowing the IFR associated with various conditions would be helpful. One challenge here is it is likely that some conditions aren't obvious or the person may not know they have a condition(heart disease?).

Some good news on the Cytokine Storm front. Small trial out of India, but it’s an already approved medicine so we already know it’s safe. Maybe it’ll work better than tocilizumab.

“In the patients receiving itolizumab, there were zero deaths and all patients have recovered. In the control arm, three patients died, and the rest have recovered. This mortality benefit was statistically significant. Patients receiving itolizumab demonstrated significant decreases in inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and TNFalpha.”

Meanwhile, Leronlimab was rejected from the FDA. Might not be anything serious, but a lot of mystery around this drug

To correct your post about Leronlimab. The news from the FDA had to do with getting a PDU FA date for review of the combination AIDS treatment which was scheduled to be received on July 10. That would only advise if received that they will review in either 6 months , a priority review , or 10 months, a regular review. That is AIDS related only. That has absolutely nothing to do with Covid. Press release this morning and conference call today at 4 pm, that the mild / moderate trial for Covid will be unblinded this week and the severe/ critical trial , they will ask the FDA’s Data Safety Board to look at results next week. So things are getting close.

Knowing how much a person is at risk while healthy verses unhealthy can be useful. For instance, NJ is planning on reopening schools in September. Each school district is currently developing a plan to meet the guidelines set by the state. If we know that an adult with underlying health conditions is far by far more likely to die if they are infected, then we should develop a plan to keep those teachers home.

yup...time is of the essence and the power hungry Murphy is going to f them to the bitter end. We are already mid July. back in late May he said openings weeks not months..its months...these gym and bars cannot surivive another few weeks. Has to happen now, he is oblivious and cruel to them but hey he will raises taxes on us all to help pay to bail out the state and its employees
 
I thought you were off the "no politics" crowd. Clearly you don't want politics unless it's your own. Your colors are showing... and it's not red white and blue. It's a hammer and sickle.


beyond the pale response by you, are you 4

anyhow that tweet is to actually show data instead of becoming hysterical over Floridas numbers by sayng they are going up. Data matters. This thread piled on red states and it needs to be called out. We have posters continually making comments like "we are not having football because red states couldnt wear masks"....its idiotic
 
LMAO Alex Berenson who has been wrong about everything Corona. He claimed the protests turned violent because of marijuana usage, and he normally makes his money lobbying against marijuana because "its super hamrful" yet thinks Covid no big deal. The people you follow explain why you are so often positing such nonsense.

the tweet is disingenous. Data and science have both shown that deaths are a lagging metric. the tweet is attempting to compare states were impacted early on and that are now well past their new case peak, and therefore have accumulated a large number of deaths to two states that have not yet reached their peak(and therefore likely haven't seen the level of deaths they they are unfortunately likely to see) and who will also hopefully benefit from the painful lessons learned by states like NJ and NY and won't have similar death rates. (holy run-on sentence, but I don't have the patience to fix it).

Again... here in the Boone area of western NC, we are being inundated by Floridians claiming to be escaping the heat. Right, stay the FCK in your hotspot. Show some decency. That won't happen....

The states with low infection numbers are becoming vacation destinations. Can’t blame Cuomo for cracking down. The last thing anyone needs are Floridians spreading Covid across the country.

This thread is focused on red states because that's where infection is rising. This thread was all about ny/nj when we were at our peak. If that makes you uncomfortable, you're welcome to start your own "covid in the south" and "covid in ny/nj" threads
 
Great info, thanks for posting a video of someone who knows the facts.

Yes, but he's not saying much different from what several of us have been saying for awhile, i.e., that FL has more cases per capita than we did partly because of more testing and that FL will very likely have a signifcantly lower death rate per capita than NY/NJ due to the much younger infected population, the lesser seriousness of cases and the improved medical procedures and treatments we now have. You're implying people haven't been noting these differences and people on the board have and CNN clearly is, as they had Lockwood on.

How much lower is the question which nobody knows the answer to, but it could be even lower than the 1/3-2/3 of the peak NJ death rate I guesstimated on Saturday, which would be fantastic - it's why I've been dying to know the true mortality reduction of convalescent plasma, which is being used quite a bit (if it's as good as I suspect, I think we'd even see death rates lower than 1/3 of NJ's, per capita).

We'll see over the next 7-14 days, as the cases are starting to peak/plateau in FL and other states seeing big rises and the time from the plateau in cases starting to the plateau in deaths starting was about 7-14 days in NJ/NY (NY was about 7 with more of a peak that a plateau and NJ was 13 with a plateau - that's why the uncertainty on when a peak might be seen in deaths, plus FL might not be exactly like NY/NJ). Don't forget the big wild card, however - will the fast/wide spread of cases in the young eventually reach the elderly in FL, as FL is the 2nd oldest state. Hopefully, they can do better than places hit in the first wave.
 
interesting, I would like the msm to report why...why is this state in trouble...werent they using masks..blue state.

the answer might lie in the southern states and the use of air conditioning, just throwing that out there because its been discussed
They are an interesting case because initially they were more aggressive with their restrictions when it was perceived that cases were coming from Asia. That was viewed as the main problem but it proved not to be the case. In the end, they probably jumped the gun on the indoor stuff like the Sunbelt states.

Looking forward to those reports on what went wrong. How can we learn and do better in the future?
