Retired Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Thought I'd check in. Nebraska started off being the 3rd, lowest state of the virus cases. Not sure where we rank now of all the states but as of today, we have 16,130 cases with 211 deaths. It doesn't appear to be going away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) We're up to 77, 313 cases with 6,113 deaths. No, it doesn't just go away. Yes, more testing will show more cases as it continues to spread. PA is up 877 cases in the past two days.

'Scales Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I haven't followed it too closely for a few weeks but I had a look to see what's happening in the US and it's hard to tell...on one hand the trend in deaths seems to be heading consistently down which is obviously great to see, and on the other the modelling suggests another 50,000 deaths by October and maybe rising to 290,000 through the following winter which would surely mean no elections, school, football etc...Well, I can better understand the fear, anger and angst you guys are experiencing now and hope that summer can bring relief even if it's temporary.

SteveFord Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 It takes a while to die from it so there's a lag between number of case and number of corpses. My wife made a good point: it doesn't stay with you forever (as far as we know) so the new cases really are new infections, not old ones which increased testing is uncovering. We're up to 77,999 as of noon today here in PA with 6162 deaths. It's a terrible state of affairs and is something I hoped never to see. Good time to practice the guitar and hope they find a vaccine before the corn virus finds my hairy butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mihcmac Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Most of the numbers they show don't mean a lot, what really matters is how many are Active Infections.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 That's a number I don't think we can get. Testing is only accurate for how someone is doing at that moment. This area is acting like it was here and gone, never to be seen again. I think they're nuts and they probably think the same about me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 When I read a couple of months ago that some states were retroactively re-classifying deaths when the patient died from something else, but counting it as CV because they had CV-like symptoms - I gave up on paying attention to that metric as well. No one in our extended family has tested positive, that's the only metric I feel I can trust anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeyGhost Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Bother. These are numbers I, and many other, don't like. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/coronavirus-us-cases.html?action=click&pgtype=Article&state=default&module=STYLN_coronahub&variant=show®ion=header&context=menu And down south of the USA, Latin America is getting hammered.

Retired Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 This might be interesting. One year average World wide. Deaths reported. Terrorism - 15,939 deaths, Heat/Cold - 24,633, Poisonings - 33,488, Fire - 55,223, Hospitals - 57,799, Drugs - 72,772, Alcohol - 82,754, Maternal - 89,355, Influenza - 91,126, Meningitis - 134,757, Drowning - 138,138, Parkinson's - 151,501, Homicide - 179,837, Malnutrition - 232,967, Malaria - 285,131, Suicide - 361,606. The point? These took 1 year to hit these numbers. Now, Just this year alone to 6/9/2020. Covid 19 deaths. 411,436 and still counting every day. It's not going away either. Count all the thousands of cases already in progress if more die from it. I think Deb & I will stay in quarantine awhile longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I think that is a smart thing to do. People aren't taking it seriously so we're in for one long wave of it until it's everywhere. A good year to practice the guitar and maybe buy a new one every so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 PA is going up about 500 cases a day. It kind of seems like every man, woman and child on the planet is going to get it sooner or later, doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have said, 35,000 cases just in the US alone today and the days not over yet. Guess they're running out of room to put people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) What makes it so damned difficult is people can have it and not know it but they sure can spread it around. I was nearly buying a Les Paul Special last week but the seller wouldn't ship from NJ. No, man, I'm not sick, pick up only, no shipping... P.S. We're in deep ****. Under 6 months and the numbers are just staggering. Edited June 25, 2020 by SteveFord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 We had an 80 yo gentleman die in Australia yesterday - first death in just over a month here and cases are up a little now too. Will need the mother of all balancing acts over the next couple of years to get through this whole mess if that's even possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeyGhost Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 It would be harsh to judge the entire US for the recent upswing in cases. Those states which were badly affected early on (New York, New Jersey, etc) are generally doing really well keeping things under control now. It's other states (California, Texas, Florida) which now have exponential growth in new cases. If only they had somehow known what was going to happen based on the experiences of other people from their own country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
