If any of you have chud friends or relatives who you can't cut out of your life for some reason, when they blame the next wave of infections on BLM protests be sure to point out that the police are seizing gear meant to limit the spread of infection

I'm pretty sure the ultra-judicial holdings they have been doing in Seattle is about making sure they are good and inoculated before sending them home.

Goddamn, Brazil and Mexico both logged in more coronavirus deaths yesterday than the US:


https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/brazil/
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/mexico/

Brazil's graph is showing a steady increase so things are going to get way way worse there. Mexico's total suddenly shot up a hell of a lot, it looks like that was due to worldometers finding this tweet and suddenly having to update their running total:

Honestly I wonder if these death numbers even mean anymore seeing how political the reporting has become, and how in many countries there are efforts to hide the real numbers.

Here in Belgium more than 40% of the reported deaths happened outside of hospitals (mainly elederly care facilities) and most are not test confirmed, but suspected by doctors. From the start the government decided to be transparent about this but it looks like we are the only country reporting those non tested deaths.

That means that you could probably almost double the numbers from other countries and you would be closer to the truth. And that's not even taking into account the fact that some states deliberately hid confirmed case deaths too like in Florida, which would mean it could be even more than that

Yeah I was going to add a footnote saying something like "Of course who really knows what the actual numbers were" but I forgot. 'Reported' numbers are a total crapshoot for the most part.

I've posted about Mexico's deaths being crazy high before. Still no clear signs why though, we probably won't know for a while. It's kind of worrying but our hospitals are at about 50% occupancy so it might be something like endemic obesity OR people going to the hospital waaay too late.

Something to keep in mind is that the daily death count is not actually how many people passed away on that day but rather how many of the recently deceased were confirmed to have covid. They could have died days ago, in a few cases a couple weeks. It's something often explained in the daily conferences where all those numbers are shared with the public but I have no idea how other countries do it. That tweet you quoted does mention 11k deaths with a confirmed covid result and 928 suspected cases (that might later get added to the tally, pending results) so there's definitely a degree of tracking regarding that.

gently caress me. I share a small office with 2 friends that we use to work remotely in our jobs. I haven't been there since mid March but was planning to go back now, riding a bike to evade public transport. Now my one friend tells me she was in Austria last weekend and will go to Sylt (mayor German holiday island ) for a week in July.

How do I explain to her that we don't need to bother and can just close the office down for good if she does these kind of things?

The total covid death count in USA is coming close to the number of deaths caused by the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima at the end of WW II.

It's hard to imagine Japan saying to its people "It's fine, go rebuild and restart the economy. Don't bother with a hazmat suit because the whole radiation sickness thing is overblown by the media."

There are stories, rumors, etc, that in my state is because some people are going too late to the hospital. Like, they get their covid-19 kit and they don't want to use it, they start getting the "I can't breath" symptoms and they don't want to hop in an ambulance. They either die in their homes or are rushed to the ER by their relatives because they are finally going purple. The problem is that once you get to the ER you have to wait up to 8 hours to be admitted. Then there's the bunch of "doctors" giving snake oil cures. And this is in the capital city. People who live in municipalities have it worse, as they don't have as many hospitals as we do, and a lot live in far away and impoverish communities so so they have to do the extra travel.

Where do you guys go to see state-by-state trends? We only have five hospitalizations in our swath of country and my doctor yesterday said that cases are continuing to trend downward in states that opened early. I'd like to see that myself.

None of that looks great. I feel myself mentally shutting down. I don't even care if I get it anymore. This is just the hell world and I put myself in the psych ward last week worrying about it. If my co-workers at the dept of public health aren't even going to bother wearing a mask or social distancing, and the union will do nothing about it, what the gently caress am I supposed to do? I can't quit, I need this job for the income and the healthcare. It's impossible. My brain can't handle the weight of looking at this realistically so I feel like I have to shut down. Three panic attacks in the last three days, before that id had three panic attack in ten years.

Definitely a strong correlation on that site between states and territories beating COVID and states and territories that are either geographically isolated (Alaska, Guam, Hawaii, Virgin Islands) or very sparsely populated (Montana, Wyoming, Alaska).

NYC hits hopeful milestone: Zero confirmed coronavirus deaths for first day since March

https://www.nydailynews.com/coronavirus/ny-coronavirus-deaths-confirmed-covid-de-blasio-20200604-a5dfx2l6hvgwlll4vou67zrqla-story.html

It's being posted and reported everywhere. I think the Post originally posted it and then everyone else just parrots it without checking.



Looks like NYC is still having around 70 or so deaths every day so there's no way there were zero deaths in a 24 hour period.

Well, I was going by the site's categories, but also that spike represents 9 cases per day (assuming I'm reading the chart correctly) and Montana 5--it may be more than previously, but in theory not unmanageable. But like I noted, sparse population probably plays a major role in that.

I guess maybe it was more along the lines of "2019 sucked, 2020 can't be worse", maybe not "2020 is going to be awesome" as much as "2020 is a chance to get things right".
