    No it really is not. it is not being overcounted. They have been using the most conservative method possible to count deaths. It's not hard to know who to believe. You believe people who do this for a living. I'm so sure it is being undercounted i'd bet you a grand right now that in two years...

    Sorry but that is just inaccurate and to even suggest so is pathetic. How do we know that 40K people were 'just about to die anyway'. That is such a poor strawman. There is literally nothing to suggest that. Just because the majority of deaths are among older people doesn't mean they were months...

    No you are actually 100% wrong. Based on the time frame that is given for the chart -the number of deaths for NY looks to be in line with the deaths at that time period. They have had almost 7K deaths since mid-April. It depends upon the specific day which is not shown in that graph but based on...

    Read an article by a Harvard doctor and professor today that has been fighting epidemics/pandemics around the world for the last 25 years. (From flu epidemcs to HIV, to Ebola, to SARS) He said there is a need to start attacking the disease, not reacting to it. So far the US is largely failing to...

    Doctors are getting worried about unusual blood clotting in COVID19 patients. First they were seeing blood clotting in serious patients in the hospitals https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/21/health/blood-clots-coronavirus/index.html Now they are seeing them in 30-40 yr olds who have no to mild symptoms...

    I don't understand how you get to 85% not being at risk - that seems like a strawman. Unless you are saying it is only a risk if you end up in the hospital. If you take 100% of the workforce and assume a 50% asymptomatic rate (which is the high end estimate right now - 25-50%). That means 50%...

    Not really a good measure. in terms of per capita testing we aren't even in the top 30 and that excludes little places like Malta and Leichenstein and the like. When our positive test rate is below 10% then you will know we are testing enough. Right now we are at best testing at 1/3 the level...

    if you want really good, short digestible pieces of data on COVID19 I highly recomment Nate Silver's twitter feed. https://twitter.com/NateSilver538 The tweet thread he is on now is comparing the 7 day average new cases to the peak for all 50 states, He also every day has a tweet where he...

    FWIW, the UCONN Pres has had to walk those statements back some, https://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-huskies/hc-sp-uconn-fall-sports-katsouleas-20200422-20200421-3q2eyjtf3vfuzaxxu2qyxnclre-story.html Basically had to say that that 'was the current thinking', but that no decisions have been...

    The talking heads are why I don't watch any TV news. From Fox, to NBC, to CNN, can't stand any of the talking heads on any of the cable news stations. All of them are awful imo. All three of those networks are horribly biased.

    I agree, I thought the guidelines were well laid out. A couple of the articles i read then said that based on the guidelines there were 4 states that would likely meet the guidelines to start to re-open on May 1 - Hawaii, Vermont, Montana, and West Virginia. No other states were likely to meet...

    The ONS chart is from England. That specific chart is looking at total recoded deaths. I've seen this from a number of different countries and places in the US. Basically the number of deaths occurring weekly right now is significantly higher than any other year in recent it has been measured...

    Sometimes pictures are better than words. Irregardless of the transmission rate, the mortality rate, just understand it is a very serious health issue. On a national level COVID19 has been the leading cause of death since April 6th. The top 7 causes of death outside of COVID19 are not infectious...
  19. The ACC will delay the start of competition for all fall sports until at least Sept. 1

    This is the most important point. This decision will not be made by AD's or even University Presidents. This will be made by the decisions of Governors. If Governors continue to say no large public gatherings then no football or any sports. CA is one to watch since they are another state with an...
