Actually it’s pretty split amongst the Republicans as well. So it’s actually more of a Republican infighting issue.
But is this model factoring in allowing hordes of people go to the beaches with no social distancing?
As I understand the beaches being open in Fl, no towels allowed, no groups, stay at least 6 ft apart. We’ll see how this works.
Iowa has essentially been shut down for a month. Grocery and hardware stores are about the only thing open. But a lot of the cases have been from nursing homes and a meat packing plant. It really seems that population density is the biggest factor in the spread.
I agree. With our economy being ravaged by a pandemic, what we need is for our governor to simply “pick a (random) number” as a guideline for opening up the state.
The last two weeks have seen 10 of the 13 biggest days in daily new cases. There was a record number 241 just a week ago and the fourth highest total of 162 was only four days ago. There were 144 cases just two days ago. It’s starting to slow down from the peak of 241 but it’s hardly anywhere close to being in a significant decline.
Mostly related to more... and reliable testing.
How is it a lie to report the increase in the number of cases? The guy he was tweeting wasn’t saying it was an increase in deaths. And since when has a 50% increase or greater in number of deaths not been significant? Since all these conspiracy theorists want to erroneously compare this to the flu, if we had a 50% increase in the deaths from flu compared to last year, we’d have over 17,000 more deaths. Is that insignificant just because it wasn’t a 100%+ increase?
Or whenever a popular new store opens, or whenever a new iPhone is released, or whenever a huge new movie is released like Star Wars, or at thousands of retailers nationwide on Black Friday, or at any popular restaurant during peak hours, etc.
As of four days ago, half of the outbreaks (56 of 102) here in Virginia were from long term care facilities, accounting for over 600 cases. And seems like the numbers that are reported everywhere are slow to add in cases from long term care facilities for whatever reason.
It’s also a combination of multiple days of testing and their results come in on the same day.
Iowa has had maybe 8 outbreaks in nursing homes. There was also an outbreak in a meat packing plant. The meat packing plant spiked over 100 cases one day. It seems that in addition to looking at overall numbers, we need to look at whet we are having these pockets of outbreaks. Again, population density seems to be key.
