We shall see. Sometimes America can’t have nice things. Mass protest in the streets today for civil rights. Dipshit maga protests put the first holes in the dam.
Actually, it appears something is going right. While cases are not necessarily falling, hospitalizations are and there are several reported instances of the cases doctors are now seeing are less severe (Italy, GA and TX) on the questionably name "Good News" thread if you want to take a look. I'll have to warn you, finding the good news is ... have you heard the joke about the optimistic boy and the pile of manure he finds Christmas morning?
AZ is actually higher than CA. per million people basis for both cases and deaths(about 5-10% higher). Of course New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts are still 500-1000% higher than either AZ or CA. and those 4 states actually have 50% of all deaths in the USA. Sounds like you could open up 46 states.
the other question is the rise due to more covid or just more testing.
Is that the family with the amazing vegetable garden? I heard there was a package of seeds under the manure.
That is indeed a very smart question. Here is the data for Orange County for those who enjoy making decisions based on actual data
. I complied this off OC Health's website, so I can understand it better myself (also too much free time at home).
I’m not sure, either. Other countries did harder lockdowns than US ever managed. It may have been more effective in reducing the resevior of disease in the community.That is indeed a very smart question. Here is the data for Orange County for those who enjoy making decisions based on actual data
Y-axis is the % of people who tested positive (7-day rolling average).

My takeaways:
-Yes, the number of daily new cases is not going down in OC, but we're also administering more tests now compared to March/April.
-The average rate of positive tests has gone down from the April peak by roughly 50%.
-I'm frustrated and frankly don't quite understand why our curve cannot trend down further like the curves you see from many other countries.

We need to see this with the added trend line of new covid-related hospital admittances.That is indeed a very smart question. Here is the data for Orange County for those who enjoy making decisions based on actual data

Similar chart (I think) for San Diego from the San Diego Union Tribune.That is indeed a very smart question. Here is the data for Orange County for those who enjoy making decisions based on actual data

For San Diego County...you will have to add your own trendline but its clearly downward. (Yes, Team Buzzkill the last 10 days may not have complete data, but its distinctly downward even prior to that)
And what reduces child and teen obesity? Team sports. So we may be doing more damage to the youth of america by making them stay inside then coronavirus every would.
