Why are you so worried about deaths? We left that goal post a while back.

With so many deaths of course the numbers go down. Everyone has already died.

But but but .. cases!!!

Reporting repeat tests on the same person will increase the percent positive rate.
What do you think the chances of testing positive are if you tested positive a week ago?
A lot of business are requiring negative tests before returning. So multiple tests are being done.
The fact that our percent positive is under 10% with this blatant puffing of the numbers is incredible.

If deaths don’t spike soon(they won’t) politicians loving the lockdown are fricked. Even the complete dumbasses like bonkers and musick won’t be able to support the bullshite

Time will tell what the death impact of this “wave” is. Every indicator is it will be small, very small, compared to a few months back. We’re catching cases we never would have tested in March and treating them better.
But, I caution against using “deaths decreasing” as an argument - if that actually has nothing to do with your stance. If deaths increase 10% in the next 2 weeks are you going to change your opinion? If the answer is no, don’t even argue that now.
If the declining deaths is the actual reason you’re promoting reopening than be prepared to reverse that stance if that metric moves in the other direction. Otherwise just state your stance.
For me, hospital capacity, hospital PPE supply are worth protecting with short term “hammer” mitigations. Otherwise, people have access to all the information they need to make an informed decision relative to their own values.
We’re American, we value individual liberty and freedom at the expense of taking on risk ALL THE time. We will continue to due so now. The world became a deadlier place to be when that virus jumped ship to our species. 9 times out of 10 the world becomes a safer place, this time it went the other direction. It’ll take time to fix this, but it’s not a catastrophe.

From ~600 to ~660?

The medical directors of the two big hospitals in Lafayette made a video talking about the virus in Lafayette. The message was basically that Lafayette is exceeding past peak level of cases and our hospitalizations are rising pretty quickly but the dude from Lourdes said that they’re not seeing the amount of people who need to go to the ICU as they did in the past. Also their median age in regular rooms are like 55-60 and their ICU age is closer to 70

That makes sense to me. Thanks for the info

Exactly my point. The reason goal posts move is people lie to themselves and cherry pick data to begin with. Team “shut it down” didn’t care about “increasing” cases or “increasing deaths”. They wanted zero cases. You know this because they didn’t reverse their stance when their own stated reasons went the other direction
How much better off would we be if we could just attack that thought in one shot and align on a standard of what we will or will not accept?
Use the data that formed your opinion, not the data you cherry picked to confirm it.

Oh, you’ll see...
In two weeks.
