We won't be seeing the corresponding rise in deaths for another week, week and a half or so. And with no one looking to do anything, we're very likely to smash through all time highs in the weeks after that.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing but you have been crushing 50,000 cases a day for months and that number seems to hold steady. Will see in a few weeks if it does dramatically rise. Though we are seeing daily record numbers in Canada as well.

Memories

7 day rolling average seems to be at about 810 deaths/day in the US.

And the rate of increase week to week is slowing from a 7 day avg perspective. Its still going up but slowly.

I'm not sure if we will be smashing records in the near future. Almost all of the states now currently rated Covid critical are well below national averages of per capita deaths. So like AZ, FL, GA, TX they have been taken by "surprise".

But unlike AZ, FL, GA, TX the current crop of states is less dense except for IL and MI which have both dealt with increases in deaths before. Similarly Arkansas will likely address their situation after the election.

Nevada may be the best example of what most states will go through. The death rate will increase and once hospitals are threatened with hitting max capacity the states will shut things down until they regain control. Nevada maxed out at about 20 deaths/day.

We would be hard pressed to hit 2,100 deaths/day from 810 deaths/day in a matter of weeks. I doubt if we will get anywhere near it. When AZ, FL, GA, TX got out of control we peaked at 1,300 or so.

The biggest difference now as compared to April when we peaked at 2,100 is that older people know not to expose themselves, people are now somewhat educated on the efficacy of masks and social distancing, and remarkably testing is hitting new highs just about every day (not that these states will do contact tracing - just that people can actually get tested when they have been in contact with somebody they know has Covid). Also a lot of the most vulnerable in the elder community have already died.

And once the election is over and Trump stops holding his superspreader rallies (which a study concluded have resulted in at least 700 deaths already) communities will be better able to protect themselves especially without the political implications.

I was going to say I would be surprised if we surpassed 1,300 deaths/day. But I guess I wouldn't be. I hope we don't.

In Canada our Lead health lady is now advising triple layered masks or filtered ones.

Nothing on exercising, eat right, take your vitamins C, D and Zinc and wear a triple layer mask if you can

132,540 cases and 1248 deaths in the US yesterday so we should be over 1300 next week

over 9k deaths worldwide so its worse now than it ever been

Yeah this is gonna be a dark winter worldwide. How long before Fox blames Biden?

Direct quote from a conservative on facebook:

From a Trumper who pushed that Covid is just a dem hoax and we need to open up, no restrictions and no masks. Now he expects a miracle plan

There were over 1,500 Covid deaths reported on 11/3. The reason the 7 day averages are lower is that less than 500 deaths are being reported on Sundays and Mondays. Though that may start going up.

The current 7 day rolling average is about 970. It is accelerating. After easing up a bit for a week or so it is on the rise again.

Only now it is going up faster.

At the current rate of increase it will hit 1,300 deaths per day in about 2 to 3 weeks.

I find it hard to believe that states would allow their hospitals to be overrun though (and yet Montana, Oklahoma and South Dakota...)

The states with the highest deaths/day (7 day avg) aren't even critical! GA and TX are close to 100/day. IL is near 60/day. CA, FL, WI are at 40/day. OK IL and WI are critical.

Hopefully now that the election is over, states will look to reduce Covid and Trump won't care about the economy any more. He will be preoccupied anyway.

Are the numbers just going to go up and up until Biden becomes president? Trump doesn't seem to care, he's too busy fighting pointless legal battles to try and stay on as president.

Yes. We need to understand we will have 0 leadership on this problem for the next 2.5 months

They'll continue to go up after 1/20. The red states will do everything they can (including die) to own the libs.

There will need to be travel restrictions between states.

This is fine

Interesting tidbit that everyone was roasting Donald Trump for ending the USA's pandemic team yet here in Canada our fearless leader did the exact same thing

https://www.rcinet.ca/en/2020/09/08/...arning-agency/

Our cases are climbing at an alarming rate as well

Not sure you can say they took the same paths, but since nearly all your posts have an immense personal dislike of Trudeau in them, it also is kind of hard to take any new anti-Trudeau post you do at face value. We get it - you hate Trudeau.

You think I am making the story up. Its like Trump every week he gives you something new to not like him. I rarely hate someone I more dislike them.
Trump was thrown over the coals for doing this yet Trudeau seems to get to skate over this huge blunder.
Yes Canada is doing better than the USA but its not a shining light of how it should be done. When your neighbor to the south is a total **** show its not hard to look good

Dude, nearly every post of yours is a rage against Trudeau, and I get that you are so consumed by that that you have no idea how you come off when caught in your obsession. You are literally the boy who called Trudeau, so when you post yet another Trudeau hate post then back it up with a second Trudeau hate post - not sure what you want others to say. You hate Trudeau - we get it.

Trump held a ton of death rallies, and literally removed any proper scientist from the equation and lied to the public about the threat and is now saying he cured it as 120,000 cases a day and 1,500 deaths are happening in his country. He politicized Covid. Show me how Trudeau did any of that type of stuff when you want to compare him to Trump to help with your Trudeau = bad quest.

All the best.

That would be like saying to 80 % of the folks in politics we know you hate Trump we get it. You bash him in every thread. Just let it go

My post did not mention Trudeau it just pointed out that Canada also disbanded its pandemic response team and the fact Canada may look like its doing a great job but when your comparing it to the USA any country looks like they are doing a great job

I also pointed out that Covid cases are exploding here as well. No where do I blame Trudeau for this. I keep my Trudeau rants to the LOL Canada section and sadly he seems to keep providing the ammunition on a weekly basis just like Trump.

I have said in earlier posts I give Trump an "F" on Covid but and Trudeau a "C" to "D"

7DMA of new cases now at 118k. 7DMA of deaths over 1,000 for the first time since mid-late August. Positive test rate is higher than any point since May and still rising.



This is fine

If this vaccine gives me an uncontrollable urge to vote for Bernie Sanders there's going to be hell to pay.

142,808 new cases and 1,478 new deaths in the United States wow

To most sane leaders this would be a national crisis but Trump is like, whatever, you ****s don't want me to be president anymore then fine I'll stop doing my job

Sioux Falls, the largest city in COVID-battered South Dakota, declines to pass a mask mandate

"Not worth the community division that this will create." Republican politicians have intentionally sowed division about wearing masks for political gain, and now South Dakota is one of the deadliest places in the nation and they choose more death over doing anything they've been brainwashed to think might be "liberal"

Half of Iowa's and South Dakota's COVID tests over the past week have come back positive.

Half. That is not a typo.

See, Trump told you that testing causes Covid, but you didn't believe! He truly is a very stable genius with a very big a-b-b-b-b-rain.
