Seriously? I had my wedding reception there.


EDIT: Obviously I don't ever go to campus. Hot Chicken Takeover on High is about as far South as I go.

I'm pretty sure if they tried to trademark that, they lose that case also because prior Towns being name that. Once again you've been foiled.

Not to mention Columbus himself is canceled. At this rate it'll be renamed in 5 years.

0 to 1 million cases: 98 days
1 to 2 million cases: 43 days
2 to 3 million cases: 28 days

0 to 1 million cases: 98 days
1 to 2 million cases: 43 days
2 to 3 million cases: 28 days

I think that's probably due to ramped up testing.

In addition to the observation about the sharp increase in testing: these data, outside of the context of hospitalizations and deaths, are basically meaningless.

Also: exactly how many of those 2 - 3 million cases represent multiple positive tests for the same person? If that question cannot be answered, then the data, again, are meaningless.

Deaths are currently doubling every ~67 days... and really, every day adds another day to that. In other words, deaths aren't doubling any time soon.

And the mortality rate is getting smaller all the time. We always knew the ~5 or 6% was inflated because we didn't know the real number of cases. Now that we're getting a better idea of that, a smaller percentage of those cases are dying.

To put GPIasuhgfusnodusingtdr's numbers into perspective, the (reported) mortality rate at those same benchmarks:
@1M cases, ~2.5%
@2M cases, ~5.6%
@3M cases, ~4.3%

We were more quickly able to capture nearly all the COVID-related deaths than we were able to identify the majority of "new" cases. My sense is that we are now better able to find/trace new cases and provide appropriate treatment.

In most places.

ETA:
Saw chip's intervening post, and only disagree on the "meaningless" part. This information isn't "meaningless" but it has limited utility - and is subject to spin.

Frankly, I think it is A Good Thing that we were able to get that many people diagnosed. That's far better than having people unknowingly spreading it.

I will amend my assertion to meaningless for all practical purposes.

And maybe some protestin’ by the youngsters.

Does anyone here know how hard it was to try and get a tear in March? I do. The only way you were getting tested is if you were being admitted to the hospital in severe condition with extreme conditions. Period. I needed to get tested for work because I had a fever and was sent home. No one was testing. Maybe other states were different.
so seeing a huge spike in cases once testing became lore common place is to be expected. To continue watching the deaths decline is a good sign that this is nothing like what we were being sold. And the increase in hospitalizations well no ****. Just like the tests you weren’t getting into a hospital unless you were dying.

Impossible. It’s because the bars opened up.

Impossible. It’s because the bars opened up.

And Trump rallies.

Was just chatting with someone today.

His work required him to get corona testing performed. He skipped his appointment yet still received a letter in the mail with test results saying he was positive.

This is the 3rd time I've head of this happening now.

Can we please stop feeding into this hoax?

I’m seeing a number of anecdotes similar to this. It makes me wonder how many of them are true.

I suppose this is the Roche test... I scheduled one for Monday. For $10 (and not having to deal with my doctor's office, because he won't order an antibody test), why not?

Skip it and see if you get a letter in the mail.

Letter?

Young (early 30's) friends of my daughter went down sick and they put her in the hospital and he stayed at home. They were sick as all get out for about a week plus and she is a pretty plump young lady with some issues so it was rough. Both tested positive.

Recently they both had some blood work done and the antibody's specific to this were not there. They assume it was Influenza "A" now.
There are to many variables. No clear science and not enough time to actually get some clear answers.

So what's that all about? You're too anti-winning to be a Buckeye, so did you marry one? If so, way to marry up!

More cvirus cases = more $$$
Always follow the money
