You don't know what you are talking about.

I read the OP, and this is what he was talking about
quote:

They blame our lack of vaccinations and lack of mandates for how bad it is. Well, the Rt is much worse in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Oregon, Washington, California, Hawaii, and Illinois. These are all states that have the most severe measures in place.

How come you didnt talk about in your response, what he was talking about in his OP?

Purple haze is right. Today was promising but we need seven days like today.

RT in Madison and rankin counties is 0.82. That’s good that the population centers are well below 1.

- local school started a week ago and we currently have over 20,000 in under quarantine for coved exposure.

- University Medical Center currently has tents set up in the parking garage, because they are full of patients.

- today’s deaths due to Covid: 60

- I have approximately 35 contract crews at any given time at work. At noon today, 15 of them were out due to Covid.


Things are just peachy here in Mississippi…

Based on the data of the earlier surges, we are weeks or even a month away before the surge substantially subsides.

The Rt in Mississippi was 1.0 on 6/9. From there until now, the Rt is a bell shaped curve with a peak of 1.49 on 7/18. From that point forward, there has been a steady downward decline to its present value of 1.07.

While you are correct in your premise that the value has to be below 1 for there to be a decline in cases, it also bodes well that the Rt continues to decline rather than rising, plateauing above one or presenting with intermittent spikes. Case in point, see the Rt in DC, Maine, Massachusetts, and South Dakota. The Rt is not an absolute, it just gives an estimate of what to expect about infection trends in each state.

The stated infection rate of 631/100k includes:

Infections per capita
Infections per capita is our best estimate of how many individuals get infected every day - including infections which are never diagnosed through testing and never manifest in testing data. This estimate is presented as infections, per 100,000 individuals, per day.

Do you even know what reproduction rate even means?


It's the number of additional persons infected by an infected person.

So an Ro of less than one would lead to the disease dying out. So what is your problem?

The lower but longer Rt value meant the Covid-19 outbreak swamped Mississippi's hospitals and ICUs. Average deaths peaked at 47 per day while some individual days saw nearly sixty deaths.


No. It wasn't 47 per day. They added death cert cases that they didn't even know about as "new" deaths. Some, as I had previously pointed out last week, from December 2020 were added to the totals in late July and early August. The reason for the hospital shortage was due to 2,000 nurses quitting, some because of mandates.

Quarantine in schools at this point is stupid.

I’d argue any quarantine at this point is stupid.

This genie has been out of the bottle for awhile now.
