All 50 states are opting against as well as all countries but one as far as I can tell.

Why are you so committed to herd?

How dumb is this dude?

He thinks they have only had the number of cases they have detected? When we know up to 70% of cases can be asymptomatic and we didn’t have testing for half the pandemic. Yea ok.

More morons making policy not knowing what they are talking about

I’m not. I think the virus will be effectively over before we hit herd immunity.

But basing calculations on lab tests is as dumb as it gets.

Hmm. That's pretty bad. Hard to view 7500 lost human years per day burn rate as ho hum.

The average age is around 76-77, which corresponds to about 11 years of remaining life expectancy at that age.

Going over 1000 back dated deaths today.

But are cases trending down?

That's true even if you factor in the assisted living/nursing home angle? Certainly the average 77 year old already in assisted living doesn't have an 11 year RLE?

I’m a bit leery of the 11 year data point as well. The average time to death for a person in a nursing home is around 14 months from admission. Median is 5 months.

I glanced And noticed a big number for the time of day.

Did some states dump some deaths today?

Tuesdays are always the biggest reporting days. Best to look at 7-day averages since there's under-reporting on the weekends and catch-up days like this.

well that's a pretty shitty day.


Hopefully it slows down some on the death angle.

Thou shalt not question GEOTUS:

quote:

President Trump abruptly departed on Tuesday from his rosy projections about the coronavirus, warning Americans from the White House briefing lectern that the illness would get worse before widespread recovery.

“It will probably, unfortunately, get worse before it gets better,” Mr. Trump said. “Something I don’t like saying about things, but that’s the way it is.”

Cases appear to be leveling off, the growth rate of new cases is definitely declining. They 7 day average for new cases has plateaued. The daily positivity rate has leveled off and is showing the beginnings of a decline. Testing appears to have hit a stall with the 7-day average number of test results showing a slight decline today. These are all good signs.





Deaths are not as good a picture, even with today's expected bump, we saw 1,029 deaths which is higher than the previous 8 Tuesdays. The 7 day average for deaths is up. I really hoped that the today's death number would be lower than last week's which would have represented a return to the declining pattern we'd seen. Instead; deaths are up and look to be entering a growth period. Let's all pray that I'm wrong.

I have pondered a related question since around March 1, 2020--sitting on Old Hammond Hwy, waiting to cross Airline IIRC. Anyway, it's this: If we assume a current life expectancy of 78.5 years in the U.S., and we subtracted the age of those who die after 78.5 and added the age of those who die before 78.5, how close to zero would that number be?

Example: Male aged 98.5 dies from Covid gets a -20 (having lived 20 years past his life expectancy).

Female aged 68.5 dies from Covid gets a +10 (having lived to within 10 years of her life expectancy).

Added together, a -10 number would indicate that, as a whole, their lives went past current life expectancy in the U.S.

Obviously (I think), the ages would skew older, so there would be more negative numbers, and those would compensate for the relatively few folks who succumb to Covid much earlier in life. Or, put more plainly, I posit that after adding/subtracting each death age from the U.S. life expectancy, the result would trend almost inexorably towards zero.

Despite gravely affecting the older, vulnerable population, the actual numbers, when compared to current life expectancy, the results would reveal the disease is primarily felt by those who have already outlived their life expectancy.

If my supposition is correct, then this entire four month quarantine debacle is premised upon a virus which largely effects only those who have beaten the odds and already exceeded their given life expectancy.

That would be a very interesting analysis, anyone know where I could source that data?

now this is a good analytical question.


i think youll find this lowers life expectancy but would be curious to see if someone knows how to pull data set or can help with who would have it ill lokk more into it
