This is Texas and it's from a thing called tube-fest, not this year, where there was a stage and a performer.

But you get the idea. Lots of day-drinking that leads into long nights of drinking and slobbering all over each other.

Even Covid is tough to contract through the air outdoors. Distance cubed etc.

Oh everyone in the south is going to be inside for the next two months?

My sentiments exactly.

Crowded elevator scares the crap out of me.

Empty elevator that was receintely crowded, not much better.

but we saw a real increase in infections after the reopenings, not after the protests.

and it just seems reasonable that outdoors is gonna be waaaaaay safer than indoors breathing the same air

volume of air outdoor is about 187,565x what the volume is indoors
Yes, that's why it's doing when they close beaches or chase people with drones for taking a nature walk
Outdoor good, indoors death

For every 30 new cases, you get one additional death that shows up 1-2 weeks later. However, there is also a longer-term downward trends of deaths declining an average of 15 per day independent of cases. So if cases increase by 5000 this week, two weeks later that would result in about 170 more deaths/day. But the longer-term trend would estimate you should have seen 210 fewer deaths 14 days later. But now, instead of deaths declining by 210, there would decline by only 40.

So the effect caused by more cases may not manifest as increasing the total deaths, but merely stalling the consistent decline we have seen. An there is a bit of evidence for this just in the past week, where average deaths declined only about 5% after dropping an average of 15%/week over the previous 6 weeks or so.
good post! I've also been doing some data analysis trying to understand some of the reasons behind this trend. One thing that is very clear is that we have some serious data quality issues. The CDC or Congress should have been driving for better, more uniform reporting from the states. From what few states report infection rates by age, it appears that the increasingly younger skew of infected people is a major contributor to the ongoing reduction in deaths. However, even when I do some napkin math to account for that, it still appears that deaths are below what you would have expected say 2 months ago. One possible explanation is that doctors are getting better at managing these cases and some of the new medicines are working.

I'm ignorant to it but maybe not sticking people on ventilators immediately? Didnt it turn out ventilators were somewhat of a death sentence? If I'm totally wrong here by all means I understand

I think all we can do at this point is anxiously laugh about it while the Earth sheds herself of it's most lethal virus. It was a good run humanity.

They have learned to use them less, and use proning (turning people on their stomachs) more. Also there are more treatments now for serious patients.

How is it any worse than being at a normal concert? Just upgraded the seat to the fun-ness of an intertube.

Tubing here is a much more solitary/family activity where you float down the river. It's pretty much an ideal activity for not spreading coronavirus so it's the kind of thing our governor would shut down (along with canoeing and kayaking)

FU Yanklandia.

US buys up world stock of key Covid-19 drug

No other country will be able to buy remdesivir, which can help recovery from Covid-19, for next three months at least
