I was shocked to see the UK has tested more than the US per capita and then Denmark is blowing everyone out of the water. It's remarkable.

Not going into the deaths being held back for election purposes. These data departments are swamped everywhere. Even Florida is still reporting deaths from 2-3 months ago (about 1/3 of their daily deaths are more than 6 weeks old).

First, the whole concept of COVID death harvesting is stupid and wholly political. But even if you believe that a "public health administrator" should have the final say on Cause of Death rather than the doctor of record or medical examiner, why does it take 8-16 weeks to go through death certificates and see if the record shows a positive COVID test or 2 symptoms consistent with COVID regardless of the actual COD?

And now let's pretend COVID Death harvesting and taking forever to conduct the surveys makes sense, why are they reporting these harvested deaths on the days/weeks of the survey?

It's unclear what you're asking (to me, anyway).

Everything is opening back up. It would be unreasonable and illogical to think a rise in cases wouldn't come with the economy opening back up. The same thing is happening at a greater scale in Europe, who closed down sooner and longer than we did. Excluding Russia, which encompasses bot Europe and Asia, Europe has a population of about 596 million people. The United States has a population of about 328 million people. Yesterday, Europe (excluding Russia) had 202,658 new cases, while the US had 74,301 new cases. So, in a continent that has 1.8 times the people we do had 2.72 times the number of new cases we had.

Of course, no one in the media wants to focus on the fact that our individual states are comparable to entire countries in Europe. France, alone, had 41,000 new cases yesterday with a population of 66 million people. Our most populous state is California with about 40 million people. California had 4,307 new cases yesterday. Texas, the second most populated state and who had the most new cases yesterday still only had 6,107 new cases (1/9 the number of new cases at about 3/5 the size). So Texas, a state about half the size of France and our state with the most new cases per day right now, only had 1/7 the number of new cases as did France.

At the current rates, I would expect many western, European, advanced economic societies to catch up to our cases per 100MM/population stats very soon unless something drastically changes. And I honestly think the number would show being much closer already if we weren't testing at a rate much higher than anywhere else in the world. We are identifying new cases at a much more rapid rate due to sheer volume of our testing. The democrats seem to think this is a dumb argument that Trump makes, but it's 100% true. When you test a lot more, you identify a lot more positive results. That doesn't mean, in and of itself, we have way more cases. It can also mean we have simply identified more of the positive cases we have than other countries have. Undocumented cases of COVID doesn't mean they don't exist, but a country like France having only tested fewer than 15 million people in a country of 66 million (22.7% of their population) compared to our 130 million tests in our country of 328 million people (39.6% of our population) is going to skew the numbers.

Cases have exploded in our area. Deaths have resulted but not in relation to cases.

When I was hospitalized maybe 7 to 10 of us. Now in the 40s. Told wife, tongue in cheek, am glad I got infected when I did.

We are now at 300,000 more deaths than expect for 2020 according to the CDC.

So at least 70-80,000 due to the lockdowns alone. Let's not forget about that.

Fox News, John Scott just interviewed Dr/ Marty Makary and he stated vaccine was artificially delayed; FDA wanted it pushed back so as not to impact the election

I wish there was a way to see how many times people are taking the test if positive? I know at work I had people taking multiple tests. How much is this skewing the numbers? Can they tie the tests back to singlular individuals rather than just broad strokes of number of positive tests.

The growth rate of new cases is being driven by the increase in the positivity rate.

In this graph you can see how testing is on a steady upward trend, the case line is growing at a much steeper rate. If the positive rate was constant and not growing (as it is) then the case line would mirror the slope of the testing line.



This shows the positivity rate, you can see the clear increase.



When you overlay the cases line with the positivity rate, you see they are fairly well matched
