re: Quietly, Covid-19 daily case rate is on the rise

They must be using Gates "non-racist math".

I think it would possibly be a spike without the vaccines.

We’ve had 3-4 pretty significant “spikes” somewhat regularly and we may have been due for another one.

I wouldn’t be remotely concerned about any increased in cases

I'll answer this seriously. Younger people, at very low risk of death and not yet eligible for the vaccine, saying frick this shite and starting to live their lives again after self-exiling for a year. Guarantee the age breakdown of cases now is heavily tilted towards people below the age of 55.

Edit: Also rising mostly in blue states that stayed locked down. Us outliers here in Georgia, still operating under mostly red governance principles for a year or so longer, are still seeing dropping cases.

Does anyone have any theories as to what's causing this?

I wouldn’t rule out vaccination.

What is the standard deviation of new cases per day? Is a 3.5% change over a 10 day statistically relevant?

A rise of that amount may mean something or may not. Without any context, you seem to be fear-mongering.

You would be correct from what I've seen.

The 70+ cohort in Minnesota is flat and everyone else is up.

This will vary from state to state depending on vaccination.

The good news is if the vaccines work as advertised there is no basis to increase restrictions as it should be relatively impossible to reach the heights we previously had. At worst, they could justify local restrictions for unvaccinated pockets, for example Detroit.

I explained the concept and it's absolutely not fear mongering. The context is that we saw a precipitous decline from 250k cases a day in January to 56k in Mid-March, but that fast decline has, at best, stopped, and at worst, slightly reversed.

The RELATIVE increase is through the roof, which is why I wanted to have some people present possible explanations without thinking there was any significant problem that was starting to become apparent

Yay! Another nut job opining about COVID! It's cool, I can do my daily good deed by trying to combat this nonsense.

The truth is this:

1) We have not had near as many cases as they want us to believe.

Probably more cases than statistics reflect, particularly early on. Even now the tests are more likely to give a false negative than a false positive. Talking about the molecular tests.

2) We have not had near as many true Covid deaths as they want us to believe.

Ah, the old "you got hit by a bus with COVID" nonsense. Again, confirmed COVID deaths are probably understated.

If you compare the typical deaths in a year with 2020 deaths you will see deaths are up even more than the number of confirmed COVID deaths. Some of this are COVID deaths that were not caught and some are other problems caused by the pandemic (drug overdoses and delayed treatment for non COVID problems).


You're welcome

Its an f'n bad cold. I've had it, my whole family had it, kids included.

Much like the flu and cold, people with co-morbidities die.


Open it back up and lets roll. Asa said no mask starting March 31st, and I celebrated by not wearing mine this week at all.

Went to a funeral, over 200 in attendance, nobody caried about distancing. People are done with Covid and realize its nothing more than cold made worse by Fauci.
