I just absolutely hate NYC and Jersey. I used to go there 4-5/yr for work and I just was not a fan.

Cuomo has gotten entirely too much airtime for someone who completely botched the handling of this pandemic for his state.
Yup. Guy forced nursing homes to accept COVID+ patients. Turned them into death mills.
DeSantis looked at the data and did precisely the opposite, prohibiting hospitals from returning COVID+ patients to residential facilities.
lol what?
How does a guy in Chicago make such a claim when the people in our city haven't? This would be a super bowl event for Dora and she would be in front of the press right now
shut it all down
One from April and two from May are just now being reported? Wish they'd tell us what the underlying conditions were, too.
I have two relatives, elderly sisters who live together. Both are positive.
One went to the Er yesterday with 103 fever, vomit, diarrhea, cough. Was dismissed from hospital in the evening because "not serious enough, need the room".

True, most of the cases in that huge number came from the prior 5 day period. But this reporting trend has been the norm for the past several days, and if it continues another week then the number is actually representative of the daily count of new cases.
You've been wrong about this thing since jump
On the stats someone posted earlier, it says 27% of the beds are occupied by Covid-Positive patients.flnk06 said:

97% of icu beds at TMC are occupied.
ETA: Found the stat
Let it ride
Is the temporary parking lot hospital no longer available?

On plenty, sure. But not all. I've said it's less deadly than the flu from the get go, which is entirely accurate. It's just more transmissible. I said that the people dying from it are old and that the young need to get out there to generate herd immunity. The median age is still in the upper 70s. When this starts knocking off people in there 30s and 40s left and right, then maybe I'll care more.
You seriously think "shutting it all down" will stop this? You're a buffoon if so. This virus is here. It's not going anywhere. Quit moving goal posts and let Mother Nature run its course
generate herd immunity by rapidly growing the viral vector pool
smart move. I'm sure there won't be any spillover into the more vulnerable community
also, young people are fat

1% of Houston dead letting nature run its course
also a great idea
also a great idea
Harris County is at ~340 COVID deaths. I see you enjoy just pulling percentages out of your ass
IFR was 1% in NYC
bet I'm sure you know better
those dead people should have know better

Stats or no stats the experts at the Texas Medical Center are pleading for Houstonians to stay home, and mask up/socially distance when they have to go out. Are you just going to ignore their pleas?
where do you think the deaths will be on July 15th, given the current spike and first real wave?
it appears so
So 180ish new cases per day...and if that holds doesn't that mean the "curve is still flat"? Also how much of the increase in number has to do with tons more testing going on?wessimo said:

Do you think today is the only day that will include numbers from that 5 day range?
To expand on this.. here is some history
6/24/20: Reported 987 cases, 91% of tests from 6/14-6/22
6/23/20: Reported 944 cases, 87% of tests from 6/10-6/19
6/22/20: Reported 1789 cases, 86% of tests from 6/9-6/17.
These average out and, in general, we can view these numbers as what new case counts were around a week ago. Actual new cases detected in testing performed today will in likelihood be a decent amount higher than the 987 cases that were reported today given the current trends.

Tough to argue with this statement.
Let's be reasonable about this...people aren't contracting the virus on a trip to HEB or eating out at a restaurant (assuming you are eating with family and the tables are reasonably spaced out).
If they were, a whole heck of a lot more people would have gotten sick during the "shutdown".
However, people need to be mindful of where they are/who they are with, stay out of large crowds (and, arguably, places they don't absolutely ~need~ to go), and just in general stay the heck away from people (and I don't mean isolate, I mean just be extra respectful of personal space so people can't cough or sneeze on you).
Unfortunately, that's not what a lot of people did once things opened back up. Which is exactly why shutting down again is not the answer. The harder you tell people what to do, the harder they rebel.
I'm taking responsibility for myself, and there is not much more anyone can do other than that.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
AG
every place I have been, people are wearing masks. So when we get the 2 week back log report a month from now, what is it going to say?
People are wearing masks but the more important question is......are you?
if the vector pool gets large enough yes you would see infections at places you previously didn't expect
