Please cite the scientific study supporting your theory and actually add something to this discussion for once in your life.
No? Crickets?
Didn't think so.
The data is definitely overstated.
We test more people in a week than Germany has tested since day 1. Maybe they have lower death totals because they don’t consider every death a covid death. Their heart attacks are heart attacks, their cancer patients die of cancer etc etc
Incorrect as Zelenko has published his findings.The fact that he's citing the now-discredited Ford study and has completely ignored the randomized/controlled Boulware and Spanish post-exposure prophylaxis studies (in the patients he says should most benefit from HCQ) tells me he's extremely biased on this subject. He also continues to cite Dr. Zelenko, who has yet to actually publish any results despite claiming, since March, that he has the cure to COVID. Surely, if his HCQ/Zn/Az combo worked he would have shared his data with the world by now or have had someone else duplicate his work.
Sorry, but you're way off on tests. The US does have 163K tests per 1MM vs. 88K tests per 1MM in Germany, but that isn't nearly as useful an indicator of smart, aggressive testing, as are tests per case and tests per death, where Germany has 34 tests/case and 751 tests/death, while the US has 12 tests/case and 341 tests/death. Germany is about 2-3X better on these stats (like they're about 4X better on deaths per capita - 109/1MM vs. 434/1MM, as of about 5 days ago when I shared this for selected countries), which indicates they were testing much more, earlier, and doing something with that info (tracing/isolating much better than we did), such that they the pandemic didn't grow nearly as explosively there and they were able to keep on top of it with less testing.
If we were doing a lot better on reducing transmission post the first wave, via masking/distancing, we'd have a lot less cases and would need far fewer tests to find those cases. Look at the modified Worldometers table in my post above, which shows that the best countries in the world are those with the most tests per case, meaning they controlled the spread much better, earlier, so they didn't need anywhere near as many tests. The bottom line is that the best way to have low deaths per capita is to have low cases per capita, by greatly reducing transmission (by masking/distancing, combined with testing, tracing, and isolating to control flareups and prevent them from becoming outbreaks). It's logicalsly easy to do, but operationally very hard to do without leadership/alignment at all levels.
How many Americans? What is Your death prediction in 2020 vs 2019. Huge increase I’m sure.

So true.Damn fine post! Thank you for all you do.
why hasnt Murphy moved further into Phase 3...what is he waiting for
Deaths were up 20% in the US year over year through May.
So THE Plague.. THE Black Death.. was also a wuhan virus that the Chinese brought to the world. Seems like they may have earned the mistreatment they got 100 years ago by European powers. The same mistreatment that drives their animosity toward the west today.HA! HA! For something mind-blowing, check out the video at the 4:30 mark. For the second and most deadly outbreak ever (1347) guess where it started?
Yup.....
Don't you think Sunday reported numbers probably have something to do with fewer people working on Sundays? Either they don't record the data until the following week or don't report it or just data recording errors due to that?Below is the Worldometers detailed graphic of US deaths, with today's total of 451 being well below the last 5 days, which had averaged over 1000 - the weekend dips have been very consistent with the last 3 Sundays having 451, 412, and 381 deaths, after a fair amount more the previous several days. If the pattern continues, tomorrow will also be relatively low and numbers will jump up again on Tuesday and will likely be higher this week than last week, as deaths very likely haven't peaked yet from this 2nd wave, given the lag from cases.
Cases were also well down at 56K, the lowest since 7/7 - not clear if this is the start of a decline after cases had largely plateaued the past week or so. Below the Worldometers death chart are the COVID Tracking charts of US tests, cases, hospitalizations, and deaths, all on 7-day moving averages. Hard to make any meaningful observations on today's stats on a state level, given the large dip, although any dip is good to see. It's why I originally was only going to do detailed state analyses once a week or so (it's been on Tuesday nights the past 3 weeks).

Interesting article in Science on "inflammaging" (from inflammation and aging), describing how the immune systems in older people simply don't function as well as they do in younger people and how this plays a major role in the increased morbidity and mortality in the elderly. In inflammaging, the innate immune system becomes overactive, leading often to the "cytokine storm" that has been observed to lead to many deaths in the elderly, plus the adaptive immune system (T-cells and such) becomes much less effective in older people, so it's like a double whammy.

Great news. If NJ cases have been up last 5 weeks, why aren’t hospitalizations?NJ hospitalizations down to 695 and of them only 128 are ICU patients.
Here in the US, even Motorcycle crash deaths are listed as Covid related

TX and FL have lower fatality rates vs. CA , AZ a tad higher (+0.2%) according to the current RCP tracker. TX, AZ and FL are 100% in the sunbelt vs around 60% for CA. As we know San Fran locked down early after analyzing their chicomvirus infection models, unlike NYC, helping to control the spread for CA statewide. LA County is seeing the major spikes in CA, so I guess it's all those R's in LA County not wearing masks.Mexico is in the midst of an outbreak worse than ours, as measured by deaths per capita, which are about twice as high as ours are now (their case rate is artificially low, since they're not testing nearly as much as we are) and they have 16% of homes with air-conditioning vs. >90% in states like FL/TX/CA/AZ, so no, don't think it's air-conditioning (stats are easy to Google on that). Also, as I've shown before, CA's case/death rates are well below those of FL/TX/AZ, per capita - explain that one with your AC theory. The most likely reason is they have a D governor, who didn't reopen his state nearly as recklessly as the R gov's in the other states and CA has much stronger masking requirements (and less R's proportionally).
for you to have an aneurysm about gyms so that he can count it as a covid death.why hasnt Murphy moved further into Phase 3...what is he waiting for

It’s remarkable all of the folks in ICUs and on ventilators in Florida, Texas, Arizona and California from the plethora of motorcycle accidents.
Might be trying to see how to avoid this
One misstep can quickly undo the gains from weeks of closures, and public-health experts say some complacency and fatigue with social-distancing restrictions is inevitable in a long pandemic.

so they're not full?That icus are full in Texas is fake news
They are still rioting in Austin, I haven't seen any updates on Houston.That icus are full in Texas is fake news
If it weren't so funny I'd report Numbers for all his goofball political spin. He tries to celebrate how great CA is doing because of its D-Governor and criticizes the R governors in AZ, TX and FL...but puts all the blame on Trump for the failures of D's Cuomo, Murphy, Lamont in NY, NJ and CT.Don't be so quick to discount the effect A/C has on humans spending more time indoors.
I suspect that Mexico has a larger percentage of people living with extended families than we do in the US. That may be a cause close contact even though they do not have as much A/C.
this doesn't really do anything to diminish or hold back the economic output of the company. may have an effect on public transit and gas demand, but not much else.Google to keep employees home until July 2021. I believe we have not seen (close) to full economic impact of Covid.

You just can’t get away from apologies can you?China was ruled by the Mongols at the time of the Black Death. You’ll have to send your complaints to Ulan Bator.
Rather than a swift top-down ‘08 style recession: banks crunched for capital, big companies feeling a liquidity squeeze, etc. (it was really the service sector that got the recovery going), we’ll see something different in 2020-21.
Seems like we’re more likely to see a bottom-up recession this time. So far the large companies have been resilient, but I think of all of the small businesses, retailers, and food / services companies that rely on daily traffic of humans showing up to workplaces. Service industry will be gutted in a slow, relentless grind.
We’ll see after November...Where did your data calculations of 85% come from ? I would love to see the factual evidence so I can compare mine.I think we are in the first or second inning of this. I think your post is solid, but large segments of the US economy: Hotels, airlines, casinos, movie theaters, oil and gas (less travel), automobile sales, tourism, cruise industry, etc. etc are all going to get really hurt in to the foreseeable future. We are looking at an 85% or less economy for (at least) the next six months unless something drastically changes.
You people can go shelter for 3 years
Another blow to big cities (along with the riots), for example Manhattan is going to be a shell of itself if a majority of it's workforce is working for home, it will be a death knell for all the restaurants and bars that in the past thrived on happy hours and the already weaken infrastructure of the city's mass transit systems will take a direct hit as revenue will take a sharp dive, even we'll feel the hit as NJ Transit and PATHs coffers will be just a fraction of what it was pre-Covid-19.Most large companies will shift more to a WFH environment where possible. Cutting corporate real estate space is going to be the goal over the next few years.

But NYC might never be the same, shame because I love hanging there.
