We're not supposed to talk politics and you keep trying to make this a conservatives are the victims thing. No one has bitten a few times now. I'd let it go.

mission27 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 The real victims here are the MoL, because our summit is being delayed by the oppressive policies of Governor Newsom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission27 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) @TLO governor Newsom's plan makes some sense (although as usually he is tripping over himself to be the "toughest" on Corona) However, how are people supposed to go back to work without a haircut? Hair salons and barber shops need to re-open first. Edited April 29, 2020 by mission27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingseanjohn Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I don't have the will to read the past three pages, so maybe it's been mentioned. @mission27 the score for the US continues to drop. Do you anticipate this continuing? Also, the death rate "jumped" today so how did our score not go up? On another note, I was listening to the Governor of MO talk today. Apparently only 40 something of our 120ish hospitals have been reporting numbers. He said there's a different number of places reporting each day. Makes me wonder why there isn't a requirement for reporting daily, even if it's zero. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a trailing average But the deaths jumping today is not surprising given the jump in cases ~5-7 days ago 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 There is no end in sight. We need to sustain under 30 per day for 2 weeks. Last I checked Philadelphia is worse. And of course... Philly must also be at the under 50/100,000 mark for us to reopen... I see no way this benchmark set out by the Governor continues to be used as time goes on. Southeast PA is months away from opening at this rate. Sooner or later people are going to riot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its driven by increased testing, you also have to look at these numbers as a percentage of cases or active cases which is why I think looking at a flat number is the wrong standard. This is what PA trailing 7-day average deaths looks like (more stable metric for such a small sample size): Deaths is a trailing indicator. Actual cases probably peaked around 4/15 and are likely on the way down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any airborne viruses where seasonal conditions didn't have at least a minor impact on its ability to spread? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 @Shanedorf you're my cure viability guy. @ramssuperbowl99 is my agent/lawyer/medicine guy, so it behooves me to include you too. https://www.fox26houston.com/news/chicago-hospital-successfully-treats-struggling-covid-19-patient-with-plasma-from-virus-survivor This sounds good - a possible countermeasure that can be replicated? Or is this a case by case sort of thing? The way I see it, I'll breathe easy when we can establish a countermeasure that is both scalable and repeatable, and using plasma from people who have beat the virus sounds like it checks both boxes...

I'm not sure how they can test for that, but he's a damn good source, so that's encouraging news. Edited April 29, 2020 by WizeGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 3 jobs and I'm qualified for zero. Alrighty then. But antibodies in your systemic circulation are located in plasma (well, technically serum, but let's call it close enough), so this is the type of "yeah let's see what happens we've got nothing else" trial that I'd want to see data on right away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
