The influenza virus is a different virus that is more seasonal. The corona virus has thrived in tropical climates as well as in colder climates. Not a good comparison.
Apparently, washing your hands and staying home when you're sick stops a flu season in its tracks. (not like they haven't been preaching this for years...)Absolutely amazing that the Kung Flu killed off regular influenza this year, isnt it? But yet we see the spike we normally would this time of year
It's not quite glue yet, but we're getting close.Man you guys can do some serious horse beating yes.....
Need more work on the hooves.It's not quite glue yet, but we're getting close.
Stay with it guys. Something positive gas to come out of this mess.Need more work on the hooves.
Well...I got so tired of this thread I mostly quit posting in itStay with it guys. Something positive gas to come out of this mess.
Sure they have:
1. Late September, full Phase 5 re-opening, restaurants and bars 100% capacity and other increases in large gatherings. (upward exponential started)
2. Mid-November, re-opening roll-back to Phase 3/4, 25%/50% capacity (halted upward acceleration, cases peaked, decaying exponential started)
3. Thanksgiving gatherings (one time surge over the decaying exponential)
4. Christmas gatherings (one time surge over the decaying exponential)
In the past 3 1/2 months there have been four mass changes in behavior in Indiana, each readily reflected as real world changes in infection rate R0.
R0 is a rate, folks. Increased R0 is an acceleration, decreased R0 is a deceleration. There is no "instant" start or stop.
Same as it ever was.......same as it ever was.......same as it ever was.Well...I got so tired of this thread I mostly quit posting in it
Sure. I remember when people were saying that we'd see coronavirus end during the summer and then come back in the fall. And we mostly did not see that. We did see some drop-off in early summer. But there are a variety of possible causes other than it being summer. And, I pointed out in our discussion here that virus was a problem during the winter here, AND in areas in the Southern Hemisphere where it was summer. So obviously it can still spread in the summer.The influenza virus is a different virus that is more seasonal. The corona virus has thrived in tropical climates as well as in colder climates. Not a good comparison.
It's same, all the way down.Same as it ever was.......same as it ever was.......same as it ever was.
Mexico has performed slightly less than 30 COVID tests per 1,000 population.
The US is currently at 800+/1,000 population.
Most developed countries are 400+.
