Florida last Monday: 5,830 new cases.
Today: 2,678

That is great news.

We're going to blow by them on all of that. The entire point is that our second wave is killing 1000/day and theirs isn't. That isn't random. It's based on decisions we have made. I'm not even saying I disagree with all those decisions.

Possible but our demographics will account for a lot of that

Yes, I agree. To be clear - of all the deaths we've recorded, I only think of it as maybe 25-35K that could have been avoided given our setup going in.

But I also think we shouldn't act as if we couldn't have done better. I mean, what is your explanation for Germany? Is their economy now worse hit than ours? The have single digits dying per day. And schools are going to be opening in those countries.

scrub, your inability to grasp that we are not in a second wave is disappointing.

Texas, Florida, az, etc all got hit with their FIRST wave in June/July, and are now in steep recovery from it

The states that got hit when Europe did are all down to a few deaths a day

I do understand the intra-country point you are making. But certainly we could have learned enough to have lessened that effect, right?

Only if there’s anything you can do that actually matters

I seriously doubt they are done. Once things in Europe start to reopen they will see the same things we are seeing now...increased cases.

Locking down and avoiding each other is the only thing that slows...SLOWS...this. Nothing is going to stop it short of a vaccine. I suppose if a country can stay locked down long enough and the economic/societal depression isn't as bad as the virus then they can claim victory.

The reality is easy...it's HIT or vaccine...treat who you can, the best you can, in the meantime.

Did we not lessen that effect? At the height of the first wave in the northeast we were at close to 3000 deaths per day, at the height of the first wave in the south and west we were at 1500/day.

Numbers looking really good so far today. Of course, I'm looking at a non-COVID Tracking Project source since CTP hasn't dropped their data yet, so we'll see where the data falls here in a few minutes.

Website hasn't updated, but just saw the tweet with today's numbers. Cases below 40k, deaths right around 400, hospitalizations still dropping, positivity looking good. Also saw that Texas is seeing a huge drop off in testing demand.

Are they much lower than a normal Monday? Monday is usually pretty low.

This is the link to the COVID-19 tracker that I have created and shared on Google Drive.
If you want to view the shared sheet, follow this link COVID-19 Tracker
If you want to download a copy of this sheet and manipulate it follow this link Downloadable COVID-19 Tracker
The source for the data is from https://covidtracking.com/data/

Compared to last week, Cases are down, Deaths are down, Testing is down, Positivity Rate is down, Hospitalizations are down, we are definitely in a Kamala Harris (going down) pattern now.

If school openings don't cause a spike, then we're probably just about done with COVID.

We're not really having school openings, so there's that.

Maybe. Europe went from X to almost 0. We went from X to still a lot. You have to remember that a big part of the 1st wave was the culling of the absolute weakest.

10% drop in WOW cases and hospitalizations, and basically a flat death number. Even for a Monday, that's pretty solid. Fingers are still crossed that we see a sub 1k death day sometime in the next 5 days.

COVID Tracking also tweeted out that Texas apparently only has like 5k backlogged tests, which is very low even for a Monday. We're definitely on the back end of this spike, only question now is how big is the next one?

Deaths are going to start to plummet soon.
