That's devious. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

incognito_man Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 7 day rolling average of deaths is going to start to head up now methinks. Looks like today marks the highest week increase (12% and still increasing from # of deaths a week ago today) since mid-April. Could get ugly w/ Texas, Cali and Florida hospitals seemingly struggling... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today will be the deadliest day in over 3 weeks As expected, this correlates directly with the timeframe that cases started spiking again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way it sucks but I’m sure someone will say that the deaths are declining if it’s the hospital reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday was unusually low because of July 4th so part of this is probably just hangover effect from the holiday weekend. We really need to compare 7 day average after today to where we were Friday of last week imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope that's due to the numbers lagging because of the holiday weekend. I have to think it's going to start taking off, though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a purposely misleading, purposely divisive comment or anything Actually, he referred to the people not wanting to wear masks and not the rise in cases so no, his comment wasn't misleading. The two aren't directly proportional. We've already discussed how one person not following the guidelines (in this example, wearing a mask), can affect someone who is following them. You're just being purposely obtuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're just being purposely obtuse. No, I'm not. I'm saying it's unfair and misleading to say 99.99% of people not wearing masks are all on one side when the bars f-ing packed with young people who probably don't fit that description. Then you have the gatherings where I'm still seeing many not wearing masks. I'm fairly certain they don't fit it either. It's a stupid comment and divisive in nature. I'm not sure why the MODs let it happen but I'm not going to further it than this post. I should've stayed out of this thread like I said I was. That is my fault.

theJ Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Guys, we really need to drop the covert political talk. I know it's all so linked now, but as you can see it's reaching a boiling point. Hinting at it is still talking about it. Just leave it all alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission27 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Young people are going to go back to living their lives. It was never practical to expect young people would willingly give up a year or two of their lives for something that has no direct impact on them. The issue is policies that allow super spreading gatherings, like full capacity bars and restaurants, and discourage masks. I’m not sure it’s all politics part of it is just learning as we go along but it’s a big challenge in places in the south where people spend the entire summer inside. As much as it pains me to say it those of us in the northeast should be a little less smug because come October at the latest it’ll be our turn in the hot seat again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
