Hot Spot updates (drilling down)

So here is what the last week brought:

California
- Deaths 410 (+6)

Florida
- Hospitalizations: 1608 (+400)
- Deaths: 314 (+60)

Arizona
- Hospitalizations: 473 (+20)
- Deaths: 226 (-15)

Texas 
- Deaths: 220 (+14)

Total weekly deaths in four states: 1170 (+65)
Total one day death rate New York (04/17): 1025  


So the dreaded hot spot states had a up and down week. Both the amount of hospitalizations and deaths grew in Florida, while Arizona had a small increase in hospitalizations and a small decrease in deaths. Both Texas and California had a small increase in deaths (and neither tracks new hospitalizations).

What remains clear is that we are measuring the many thousands of new cases with a much smaller number of new hospitalizations and deaths than most of the experts (and naysayers) suggested. When you compare these numbers to the early days of this epidemic, when places like New York saw deaths exceed 1000 in on day, the idea that an net increased of 65 deaths in a week across the four hottest states seems like two different worlds.

So let's be real. The country is not falling apart because four states saw 1170 deaths combined over an entire week, when we once had one state manage to come close to that number (1025 peak)  in one single day. Even if these numbers doubled over the next week, we still wouldn't be any where's near where we were once at in those New England states that so many appear so quick to defend.

This was never a race to see who could kill the most people early on so that they could claim they got it under control a few weeks quicker than others. This is an accumulated situation where the final numbers over the entire course of the epidemic will need to be considered and judged in terms of success or failure of response.

Nobody in their right mind would have said six months ago that they would rather live in a state where over 30,000 people died than one of many other states where they saw approximately 10% of that death rate. The argument that the state that lost 30,000 might see a few less "cases" a few month later, would still not have convinced anyone to take what was behind door number one.

Hospitals in Austin, Texas, could be “overrun” within two weeks if current trends hold, Mayor Steve Adler warned on Sunday.

“If we don’t change the trajectory, we are within two weeks of having our hospitals overrun,” the mayor said on the CNN program “State of the Union.” He said intensive care units could fill up even sooner, perhaps within 10 days.

Houston’s mayor, Sylvester Turner, issued the two-week same warning in an appearance on the CBS program “Face the Nation,” noting that roughly one in four coronavirus tests in the city was now positive and the demand for testing was exceeding capacity.

The coronavirus is spreading rapidly in Texas, which has broken daily records for new cases several times in the past week after being one of the first states to lift stay-at-home orders and reopen businesses. More than 195,000 cases have been identified over the course of the pandemic in the state, hitting a single-day high on Wednesday with more than 8,100 new cases

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

his Saturday speech, Trump also made a claim that Raddatz labeled “stunning”: that 99 percent of coronavirus cases “are totally harmless.”

There is widespread disagreement, even among health experts, on the “case fatality rate” of COVID-19: the percentage of infections that lead to death. It is calculated at around 4.6 percent in the U.S., but varies widely around the world, from less than 1 percent in Iceland to 14 percent in Italy and in Britain. The cumulative numbers may reflect, in part, the fact that the first wave of infections spread widely among the elderly, who are at greater risk of dying from coronavirus disease. New cases are now rising among younger adults, who are more likely to survive.

But there is growing evidence that even when it isn’t fatal, COVID-19 isn’t “totally harmless” to many patients, and can cause debilitating symptoms of uncertain duration, including fatigue, shortness of breath and organ damage.


Many people carrying and spreading the virus may be asymptomatic and never be tested, impeding efforts to determine how many people are infected. According to tracking data from Johns Hopkins University, the U.S. has had more than 2.8 million confirmed cases and over 129,000 deaths.

Trump has repeatedly made false statements about the coronavirus while downplaying its effects ahead of the November election — sometimes at events that health experts fear would only infect more people.

Weapons of Mass Collusion

For two years, as Robert Mueller tried and failed to find evidence of a criminal conspiracy, NeverTrump Republicans tended to the right flank of the Trump-Russia collusion front. But their role in pushing the hoax went much deeper.


he biggest scandal in American political history started with NeverTrump conservatives. Desperate to tarnish Trump’s viability as a candidate, anti-Trump Republicans and Democrats joined together to convince the public that Donald Trump was working with Russia to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. Articles connecting Donald Trump’s campaign to Russian interests started appearing on conservative websites as early as March 2016.

Just two days after then-candidate Trump announced his foreign policy team in the spring of 2016, the Washington Free Beacon posted a 1,100-word hit piece on Dr. Carter Page: “Energy investor Carter Page, one of Donald Trump’s handpicked foreign policy advisers, has heavily criticized what he considers American aggression toward Russia, even comparing U.S. policy to American slavery and high-profile police shootings,” Lachlan Markay wrote on March 23, 2016. “Trump’s selection of Page may indicate the reality-star-cum-politician’s opposition to U.S. policies that counter Russian interests in key global theaters.”

Markay’s piece contained arcane details about Page’s views on Russia, including columns Page had written for obscure energy publications. (Page is a global energy consultant.) Even the most dogged reporter would have been hard-pressed to find so many specifics on an unknown campaign advisor, draft the article, and post it in less than 48 hours. How did Markay produce a lengthy article in such a short time—and why?

According to Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm that helped concoct the Russian collusion hoax, a Republican Party elder connected Fusion with the Free Beacon in the summer of 2015. Fusion chief Glenn Simpson sent an email to a “longtime Republican politico” in August 2015 to pitch their expanding file of dirt on Donald Trump.

Benedict Arnold Trump blamed China and its “secrecy, deceptions and cover-up” for the global spread of COVID-19.

China must be held “fully accountable,” he said, adding without evidence that the U.S. would have a treatment or a vaccine for the virus “long before the end of the year.”

The traitor added that the U.S. has tested nearly 40 million people for COVID-19. This effort shows that “99% ... are totally harmless,” he claimed without evidence.

The U.S. reported more than 2.8 million coronavirus cases and almost 130,000 deaths to date. That’s a fatality rate of about 4%.

Why Biden could go big
Axios


"Biden finds himself in landslide territory. ... Trump’s flailing has made a Democratic Senate majority possible," The Economist writes:

"That opens up the chances of a highly productive presidency which once seemed inconceivable. Before COVID-19 and widespread social unrest, Mr Biden’s candidacy was about restoration — the idea that he could return America and the world to the prelapsarian days of 2016. It transpires that he could have the opportunity to do something big instead."
"[T]o make lasting change through the federal government you need to win the Senate. And that cannot be done with a candidate at the top of the ticket who frightens the voters. ... [B]ecause he comes across as the grandfather he is, he is viewed with suspicion on the left."
"Yet that is precisely what makes him reassuring ... to voters in states like Montana and Georgia where Democrats must win to gain a majority in the Senate. It is Mr Biden’s caution that opens up the possibility of more change than a real radical would."

C.H. Truth said...

Actually quite the opposite. In the past century when we faced a crisis, the country came together behind our leadership. We didn't have a "liberal" press and "conservative" press that plays everything by politics.


No time in history (except 2020) would a Governor responsible for over 31,000 deaths (nearly 1/4 of all American deaths) be reveled as some sort of hero, while the media criticizes and vilifies Governors where the rate of death is 10% of that.

Rog! You should really keep up!

On Thursday, after the World Health Organization held a two-day online meeting of 1,300 scientists from around the world, the agency’s chief scientist, Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, said the consensus for now was that the IFR is about 0.6% — which means that the risk of death is less than 1%.

Keep in mind that our own CDC has estimated it as low as 0.26% and with people under the age of 45, the death rate is at worst 0.02% - that is 1 death in every 5000 cases for that age group.

What you didn't include is this.


The WHO has found itself at odds with groups of scientists more than once during this pandemic.

The agency lagged behind most of its member nations in endorsing face coverings for the public. While other organizations, including the CDC, have long since acknowledged the importance of transmission by people without symptoms, the WHO still maintains that asymptomatic transmission is rare.

“At the country level, a lot of WHO technical staff are scratching their heads,” said a consultant at a regional office in Southeast Asia, who did not wish to be identified because he was worried about losing his contract. “This is not giving us credibility.”

Interesting tidbit that goes against the conventional (Leftest Media) wisdom:

Professor Who accurately predicted Trump’s 2016 win ups the ante ‘bigly’ for 2020

The professor who predicted President Donald Trump had an 87% chance of winning the 2016 election isn’t being persuaded by the liberal media naysayers reporting that the president’s reelection chances are in trouble.

In fact, Professor Helmut Norpoth is upping the ante in the 2020 election, saying Trump has a 91% chance of winning in November.


I am as skeptical as the next guy about models but does have a pretty good track record. He has correctly predicted 5 of 6 presidential elections. That's a better record than Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia. The media go to guy for predictions.

This is why we’re protesting right now. Black Lives Matter!

“400 years ago white people brought black people over here and enslaved them. And sold them. And treated them as less than human. For 250 years. While white men built the country and created its laws and its systems of government. While 10-15 generations of white families got to grow and flourish and make choices that could make their lives better.

And then 150 years ago white people "freed" black people from slavery. But then angry white people created laws that made it impossible for them to vote. Or to own land. Or to have the same rights as white people. And even erected monuments glorifying people who actively had fought to keep them enslaved. All while another 5-10 generations of white families got to grow and accumulate wealth and gain land and get an education.

And then 60 years ago we made it "legal" for black people to vote, and to be "free" from discrimination. But angry white people still fought to keep schools segregated. And closed off neighborhoods to white people only. And made it harder for black people to get bank loans, or get quality education or health care, or to (gasp) marry a white person. All while another 2-3 generations of white families got to grow and pass their wealth down to their children and their children's children.

And then we entered an age where we had the technology to make PUBLIC the things that were already happening in private-- the beatings, the stop and frisk laws, the unequal distribution of justice, the police brutality (police began in America as slave patrols designed to catch runaway slaves). And only now, after 400+ years and 20+ generations of a white head start, are we STARTING to truly have a dialog about what it means to be black.

White privilege doesn't mean you haven't suffered or fought or worked hard. It doesn't mean white people are responsible for the sins of our ancestors. It doesn’t mean you can’t be proud of who you are. But it DOES mean that we need to acknowledge that the system our ancestors created is built FOR white people. It DOES mean that we aren't disadvantaged because of the color of our skin and it DOES mean that we owe it to our neighbors-- of all colors-- to acknowledge that and work to make our world more equitable.”

From Robert Reich

Donald Trump said Thursday’s jobs report, which showed an uptick in June, proves the US economy is “roaring back.”

Rubbish. The labor department gathered the data during the week of June 12th, when America was reporting 25,000 new cases of Covid-19 a day. By the time the report was issued, that figure was 55,000.

The US economy isn’t roaring back. Just over half of Americans have jobs now, the lowest figure in more than 70 years. What’s roaring back is Covid-19.

Until it’s tamed, the American economy doesn’t stand a chance.

The surge in cases isn’t because America is doing more tests for the virus, as Trump contends. Cases are rising even where testing is declining. In Wisconsin, cases soared 28% over the past two weeks, as the number of tests decreased by 14%. Hospitals in Texas, Florida and Arizona are filling up with Covid-19 patients. Deaths are expected to resume their gruesome ascent.

The surge is occurring because America reopened before Covid-19 was contained.

Trump was so intent on having a good economy by election day that he resisted doing what was necessary to contain the virus. He left everything to governors and local officials, then warned that the “cure” of closing the economy was “worse than the disease.” Trump even called on citizens to “liberate” their states from public health restrictions.

Yet he still has no national plan for testing, contact tracing and isolating people with infections. Trump won’t even ask Americans to wear masks. Last week, Democrats accused him of sitting on nearly $14 billion in funds for testing and contact tracing that Congress appropriated in April.

It would be one thing if every other rich nation in the world botched it as badly as has America. But even Italy – not always known for the effectiveness of its leaders or the pliability of its citizens – has contained the virus and is reopening without a resurgence.

There was never a conflict between containing Covid-19 and getting the US economy back on track. The first was always a prerequisite to the second.

By doing nothing to contain the virus, Trump has not only caused tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths but put the US economy into a stall. The uptick in jobs in June was due almost entirely to the hasty reopening, which is now being reversed.

Arizona’s Republican governor, Doug Ducey, initially refused to order masks and even barred local officials from doing so. This week he closed all gyms, bars and movie theaters in the state. The governors of Florida, Texas and California have also reimposed restrictions.

And so on across America. A vast re-closing is under way, as haphazard as was the reopening. In the biggest public health emergency in US history, in which nearly 130,000 have already lost their lives, still no one is in charge.

Brace

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Brace yourself. Not only will the virus take many more lives in the months ahead, but millions of Americans are in danger of becoming destitute. Extra unemployment benefits enacted by Congress in March are set to end on July 31st. About one in five people in renter households are at risk of eviction by September 30th. Delinquency rates on mortgages have more than doubled since March.

An estimated 25 million Americans have lost or will lose employer-provided health insurance. America’s fragile childcare system is in danger of collapse, with the result that hundreds of thousands of working parents will not be able to return to work even if jobs are available.

What is Trump and the GOP’s response to this looming catastrophe? Nothing. Senate Republicans are trying to ram through a $740 billion defense bill while ignoring legislation to provide housing and food relief.

They are refusing to extend extra unemployment benefits beyond July, saying the benefits are keeping Americans from returning to work. In reality, it’s the lack of jobs.

Trump has done one thing. He’s asked the Supreme Court to strike down the Affordable Care Act. If the court agrees, it will end health insurance for 23 million more Americans and give the richest 0.1% a tax cut of about $198,000 a year.

This is sheer lunacy. The priority must be to get control over this pandemic and help Americans survive it, physically and financially. Anything less is morally indefensible.

A protester died on Saturday and another was critically injured after a car drove onto a closed highway in Seattle where a group was holding a demonstration against police brutality.

A spokesperson at Harborview Medical Center told The Associated Press that Summer Taylor, 24, died in the evening. The hospital added that Diaz Love, 32, of Portland, Ore., was in critical condition in its intensive care unit.

The incident came as protests continued in Seattle and other parts of the nation following the May 25 death of George Floyd, a Black man who died after a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes. Seattle is one of many cities that have been gripped by protests calling for more action against racial inequality for the past several weeks.


Protesters in Seattle on Friday night gathered on Interstate 5, which had been closed for the demonstration. At around 1:30 a.m. local time, a car sped around vehicles blocking the entrance of the freeway before driving into a crowd, according to a Washington State Patrol police report obtained by the AP. Video from the scene showed people yelling “Car! Car!” as a white Jaguar approached.

The vehicle could be seen striking two people, who flew into the air before hitting the ground.

Trooper Chase Van Cleave told the AP that the driver, Dawit Kelete, fled the scene in his car after barreling through the crowd of protestors. A protester followed Kelete by car and was able to stop him by pulling his car in front of Kelete's, Cleave added. Kelete was placed in custody after troopers arrived.

What was his motive,,?

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

This is a Republican Party that has produced two presidents in the past fifty years who worked to undermine constitutional government and have faced impeachment. The GOP has also worked hard to rig the system in its favor. The party has promoted gerrymandering and voter suppression to help Republicans capture statehouses, and has cemented biases in the courts by appointing increasingly partisan, ill-qualified judges. Such power grabs have become an intrinsic part of the government failure we face today.

Ending Trump’s misrule and restoring confidence in the presidency demands the undoing of impediments to free and fair elections. That will entail root-and-branch campaign finance reform, an end to voter suppression, new defenses against foreign interference in elections, and reining in the digital disinformation engines. These are perhaps only the minimum demands for restoring American democracy.

Trump is a sign that we as a nation have lost our way. Just as Hamilton warned, a confusion of celebrity for leadership, fame for accomplishment, and popularity for genius has given us “a man unprincipled in private life desperate in his fortune.” Seizing the opportunity, unscrupulous “insolent men” have pandered to the lowest common denominators of fear and greed to win power and exploit it for a small elite. November’s election is a judgment day for this nation’s form of republican government. Or else, only “civil commotion” awaits us.

He has invited our enemies to interfere with our elections to help him win, then sought to do it again. He has misused federal resources, inappropriately elevated his own family members, and enriched his own businesses. He has repeatedly attacked the First and the Fourteenth Amendments. He has had infants thrown in cages and denied relief to Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria at the cost of thousands of lives. He has gutted environmental protections and attacked alliances that the US spent decades building and maintaining. And now he has mismanaged the worst public health crisis in a hundred years, overseen the greatest economic crisis since the Depression, and attempted to use the US military to crush legitimate protests on the streets of the capital.

Lately, in the space of just a few days, he was revealed to have endorsed concentration camps in China and to have again sought the assistance of a foreign adversary in winning a US election, was quoted as calling for the deaths and imprisonment of US journalists, defended the slave power traitors of the Confederacy, admitted that he suppressed testing during the pandemic because true data about the rate of infections would harm him politically, sought to fire more truthtellers in the administration and had his attorney general remove an official in charge of investigations into him and his supporters. He was reportedly briefed about a Russian scheme to place bounties on American and allied troops in Afghanistan, and not only did nothing about it but continued to act as an advocate for Putin. And so it goes on… before we even consider the many complaints about his character—his racism and misogyny, his ignorance and contempt for science and history, his lies, his narcissism, his vulgarity, his demagoguery. Has there ever been a public official in US history so unable to relate to others, show an emotion besides anger, or view the world through any means but his own self-interest?

That was in the Democrat platform in 1956.

Should we conclude, then, that Donald Trump is the embodiment of the Founders’ worst fears?

Well if you believe your half-ass leftest , Howard Zinn/Nicole Hannah Jones historians, Barack Obama is the embodiment of the Founders worst fears.

Segregation now and segregation forever.


interestingly enough it's BLACKS who are calling for a fresh round of segregation, alky.

i know you're not paying attention, but we ARE. black groups in colleges across the nation are calling for black only housing arrangements.

and a couple years ago in washington state, blacks insisted upon a No-whites-allowed ‘Day of Absence’

https://www.thecollegefix.com/no-whites-allowed-day-of-absence-lives-on-despite-last-years-uproar-at-evergreen-state-college/

blacks are the ones insisting upon segregation, alky. and we shall oblige.

. blacks can treat themselves to another round of 'white flight', as we bail out of areas that are fucking war zones. then those areas turn to complete shit, and in a generation of so guilty white will 'gentrify' them. and get roundly criticized for that.

we're sick of their bullshit, alky. and we're content to leave them to their own devices as they kill each other while we put it into or rear view.

black lives NEVER mattered. all that ever mattered to the marxist ringleaders is power via shakedown. and boy are they cashing in. a good friend works at a large corp who coughed up MILLIONS to the urban league and al sharpton's grift - NAN. what a fucking racket.

@WHO admits China never reported the existence of coronavirus outbreak, "despite public reporting to the contrary."

I guess they are going to have to take back how China was a shining example of how to act.

She will be a great First Lady.

She has a doctorate in education, along with two master degrees. She is a teacher who taught high school students, emotionally disturbed students, adolescents at a psychiatric hospital and community college students.
She's a military mom and grandmother, and has been active in an organization that supports military families.
She's an author who wrote several books including a memoir and a children's book- Don't Forget, God Bless Our Troops- for kids whose parents are on active duty.
She's a fashion icon and even did some modeling in her 20s.
She's a vocal advocate for breast cancer and founded, in 1993, a not-for-profit organization (BBHI) "...that provides an educational breast health awareness program (free of charge) to all public, private, and parochial schools, other groups and organizations in the state of Delaware."
She helped found Book Buddies to provide books to low income children.
One of the Biden Foundation's main focuses was preventing violence against women.
Did I mention she's a badass? It was a natural instinct of hers to protect her husband on a campaign rally stage.
This is one strong, hard-working woman, with class, experience and a sense of humor!
She loves God, her family & country!
She is Dr. Jill Biden, FLOTUS 2020🇺🇸
