MWil23 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Well, we just got the announcement that we will be having one week of completely virtual education for the students here (next week), then a week break for Thanksgiving, and then "returning to face to face instruction the week after Thanksgiving"...all of this, of course, is pending cases and whatever Governor DeWine says next week.

My company has a staffing contract with the State of New Hampshire for all COVID response. So far we are providing contact tracers, people for the call center, and some nurses for oversight. We just got an order for nurses to give vaccines. Their expectation is that they will start vaccinating 16k people a day by the second week of December. I say again, I can NOT back this up because this isnt being reported anywhere and is kinda insider info. All I know is that the state of NH is being told to be ready by the 2nd week of Dec by Pfizer.

This feels like when you're getting a tattoo and you ask "how much longer" and your artist says "almost done..." You're anticipating the end, but then that last bit feels like the longest wait ever - minutes feel like months, you just want it to be over and nothing is speeding it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the deaths are a trailing indicator this chart could get a lot worse The exponential nature of the new case charts is extremely worrisome, both because that trend is likely to continue and skyrocket even more than it already has, and also because if those cases correspond to increased deaths this is going to get ugly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is so, 160,000 to 200,000 cases per day is potentially going to result in 4000 to 5000 deaths per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can’t provide the necessary mitigation tools, then it wouldn’t be wise to open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
