Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

He's most likely correct. Given the time period between infection and hospitalization it's unlikely the two are connected. Check back in a couple weeks for the protest impact
Thats what I've said, the one positive from the protest is we're fixing to find out just how easy rona spreads

Still on the plateau for daily cases mostly thanks to increased testing at this point.

We might be seeing a little more lift over the next two weeks in daily cases with testing also a strong contributor. Could there follow a corresponding lift in deaths and the positive tests rate? There's no sign yet of that, but those are the lagging indicators of an increase in transmission rates.

And, of course, who gets infected has a lot more to do with the death rate than any other factor.
 
Michigan Supreme Court Unanimously Sides with 77-Year-Old Barber over Gov. Gretchen Whitmer

In a unanimous 7-0 decision, the Michigan Supreme Court sided with 77-year-old barber Karl Manke over Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Friday.

Whitmer and Attorney General Dana Nessel have been relentlessly pursuing Manke, attempting to force the closure of his shop during the coronavirus pandemic.

Great Lakes News reported on Facebook late Friday that the Court ruled unanimously in favor of the Owosso barber — a stunning decision, given the narrow 4-3 ideological split in favor of conservatives.

Numbers are worthless now..lots of states almost all of them blue are backcounting antibody tests as new cases...btw the US did have the highest testing day today 550k

I have been pulling backcounts into my data as they come in, obviously. These aren’t the first and won’t be the last. The effect is generally not statistically significant, but can indicate a faster fall in transmission rate than previously expected.

I ask because my wife is from the tropics and she’s been saying since the outbreak started back in feb/mar that vitamin D was the key. She bought me these drops and made me take them to the office 😂. I assumed it was just some local superstition.

I saw stories on it even back in April I believe.

But everyone was throwing darts at the wall, so it was just another story.

I already trust her more than the leaders who are exercising "data driven" decision making

Still, it looks like immune deficiency but might be interesting to see if lower rates in FL for example might be due to less D deficiency
 
This is just a little more complicated than that.

1) Per capita, Florida is 37th in cases with 2.8 per 1,000. For reference, New York has 19.7 cases per 1,000.

2) Even with that per capita comparison we need to look at testing to see if one state is testing more robustly.

Florida is 31st in per capita tests run with 52 per 1,000. New York is 2nd, with 118 per thousand.

The testing gap is there but it would not explain a difference in 2.8 cases per thousand versus 19.7.

Considering the portion of Florida's population which is elderly, and therefore at risk, we can definitely say they've had a far better outcome than many other states.

What I would question is whether the variables which prompted that outcome were anything in the control of the leaders in Tallahassee.
I can only speak for the Jacksonville area as that's where I am. The testing has been available and easily reachable. I havent known a single direct person to fall ill to warrant a test. I've heard of people like a wifes coworkers mom kind of thing but either it's mostly asymptomatic here or its not spreading that wildly.
