IN's 244 for yesterday is the lowest single day I remember. Lets see what Memorial Day does to the numbers later this week, but that is good, if true. -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 09:38
It’s good to see the overall picture and fewer deaths are welcome news but it’s sort of frustrating what’s going on in other states and the consequenc - JackDawson Jun 8, 09:27
22 States see increase in the number of cases. -- nm - Beaker Jun 8, 08:59 1
- The overall case numbers for the U.S. has stayed relatively flat over the past month. However, the positive test rate has also lowered. -- nm - Inigo Jun 8, 09:06
My conspiracy theorist thinks states are being overly cautious about (a) attributing deaths to COVID ,(b) reporting them (and what date) - JaxSean Jun 8, 08:57 [Backboard] 10
- If what you're saying were statistically significant, it would spike the overall state number, and consequently the overall U.S death total as well. - Inigo Jun 8, 09:03 6
  - I'm sure the numbers as a whole are coming down, but that really reflects the original hot spots and extended quarantine and social distancing there. - pmb Jun 8, 09:39 3
    - I'd be curious to see how much they actually go up by. So many of the darkest "the whole state is going to die" predictions have not come to pass and - JackDawson Jun 8, 09:44 2
      - Yes, "the everyone is going to die" prediction thankfully turned out to be only rhetorical hyperbole and not an accurate prediction. -- nm* - znufrii, silly old man Jun 8, 10:00
      - Yes. I think flareups are more likely and I do think the summer makes a big difference. Outside is less likely to transmit, and these gatherings are - pmb Jun 8, 09:54
  - I agree, but there are some oddities in the (FL) data that I'd like to know about. - JaxSean Jun 8, 09:39 [Attachment]
  - Wait a second, this is America. When science and data don’t fit our political narratives we shed them aside, didn’t you know that?! -- nm - JackDawson Jun 8, 09:19
- someone also mentioned that in FL particularly. Pneumonia deaths needs to be at least looked at to make sure they aren't unpadding the Covid 19 numbe - Epiphany- not ADAB Jun 8, 09:00 1
  - They're also refusing to count presumptive cases. -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 09:25
- It's not your imagination. -- nm - David Jun 8, 08:59
Yes, but it is spiking in certain states. Particularly the states that opened earliest and with the fewest restrictions. -- nm - pmb Jun 8, 08:54 8
- I see a lot more cases, but not as many deaths, in FL. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 8, 09:00 6
  - I Strongly think they're massaging numbers. -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 09:27 3
    - I mean, they fired the women running their website because she wouldn't, so... -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 09:39
    - have you weighed in on the "reduced viral load" thing? my friends keep talking about it and I am like "BAL" - amanda Jun 8, 09:36 1
      - I think it sounds plausible, but I'm not an epidemiologist. I don't want to make an authoritative statement. -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 09:51
  - I hope it stays that way, but that just may be a timing thing. -- nm - pmb Jun 8, 09:19
  - I think (well, hope) that's where we're at, yes. -- nm - David Jun 8, 09:06
- But not to a degree that has stopped the overall trend of less deaths per day on average in the U.S. -- nm - Inigo Jun 8, 08:58
I hate to disappoint anyone, but we've commented on the trend of under-reporting Sundays. -- nm - David Jun 8, 08:45 6
- One of our counties just straight gave up on reporting and is letting the State handle it. - Epiphany- not ADAB Jun 8, 08:57 1
  - Yes, much of the data in play is questionable at best. - David Jun 8, 08:58
- Sure, but Sundays have existed between March and June. Plus, the seven day trends are less half of what they were at their peak. -- (edited) - Inigo Jun 8, 08:48 1
  - Also, comparing last week's Sunday to yesterday's is 639 to 373. -- (edited) - Inigo Jun 8, 08:53
- But if the under-reporting was by the normal amount it is still an improvement! -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 08:46 1
  - This was Clapback Analysis with ST -- nm - con_carne Jun 8, 08:48
good news! -- nm - ty97 Jun 8, 08:38
TRUMP! -- nm - Mop Jun 8, 08:38
