COVID-19 (f/k/a "the Coronavirus")

[GooooMarquette]

Is there a site that posts trends on hospitalizations by state?  That seems to be more relevant now --in conjunction with the initial points of cases/deaths.

This site is the only one I have found that provides daily numbers of hospitalizations, but it's really cumbersome to use. You have to scroll down and then click on the state you're looking at, and you can see hospitalizations day by day.

https://covidtracking.com/data

Just using Alabama because it's first on the list, hospitalizations for the past few days are as follows:

5/26: 1671
5/25: 1629
5/24: 1612
5/23: 1589
5/22: 1561
5/21: 1528
5/20: 1493
5/19: 1453
5/18: 1416
5/17: 1392

So the hospitalizations have increased every day for that 10-day period.

Edit: In looking at more states, I have discovered that not all states list hospitalizations by day. If anyone else has a easy to use and comprehensive site for seeing hospitalization numbers by state, by day, I'd love to see it.

Here is a summary of data.  Looks like they used COVID Tracking Project, Harvard Global Health Institute;

TLDR, they tested the sewage for a month in New Haven, CT for traces of COVID.  The curve they saw nearly matched 1:1 on COVID cases, but the poop testing was about 7 days ahead.

And then there is this:

A used-car dealer was charged with fraud in a $45 million mask-selling scheme.

A New Jersey used-car dealer was arrested Tuesday and charged with wire fraud in connection to what prosecutors say was an audacious $45 million scheme to defraud and price-gouge New York City as cases of Covid-19 were skyrocketing.

The used-car dealer, Ronald J. Romano, posed as an authorized 3M dealer and offered to sell the city seven million masks at a more than 400 percent markup from their list price, according to a three-count criminal complaint unsealed in United States District Court in Manhattan.

Pathetic loser.

Smart capitalist

These are cumulative numbers Goooo....not current.

That is a nice summary. Unfortunately, ten states aren’t reporting, including many of the southeastern states that were the first to reopen (TN, AL, SC, GA).

You are correct. My bad.

For the first time, I was accosted today for wearing a mask by a guy in a MAGA hat.   Nothing to do but laugh at him.

Were you going about your own business wearing a mask and he decided it was offensive to him?

[tower912]

We were filling our gas tanks at the same time, me wearing a mask, him a MAGA hat.  He felt the need to educate me.    Old enough to be my dad, driving a 30 yeah old pick up.   Checked a lot of cliche boxes.   I laughed.

New reporting from Gabriel Sherman confirms what we have long suspected: Trump sees himself as the biggest victim of the coronavirus pandemic:

As he headed into Memorial Day weekend, Donald Trump complained that he was COVID-19’s biggest victim. “He was just in a unnatural carnal knowledgeing rage,” said a person who spoke with Trump late last week. “He was saying, ‘This is so unfair to me! Everything was going great. We were cruising to reelection!” Even as the death toll neared 100,000 and unemployment ranks swelled to over 38 million, Trump couldn’t see the pandemic as anything other than something that had happened to him. “The problem is he has no empathy,” the adviser said. Trump complained that he should have been warned about the virus sooner. “The intelligence community let me down!” he said.


This is considered "being a great president" by some on Scoop.
In reality, it is shocking and pathetic.

Glad he didn't have a gun handy, and his emperor's quick-trigger response to everything and vindictiveness, when you laughed. Seriously.

Trump's aversion to masks is such a unique driver for COVID, mask compliance and .. division.

It's hard to imagine Bizzaro World Trump who, like a reasonable human leader, encourages mask usage and wears one publicly.    Bizzaro World mask compliance is double+ what it is today, and COVID cases drop precipitously because we're all masked up, and it's just 2% of the tin-foil hat crowd who refuses.

I bet Bizzaro World doesn't have 2 for $6 Arby's, though, so we've got that going for us.

[tower912]

Let him shoot.   Seriously.

Sadly, this does not surprise me one bit.

To clarify, you're saying he felt the need to educate you about (a) mask wearing or (b) that you should be wearing a MAGA hat?  Assuming he was within six feet of you, either way he'd be offensive.  If not within six feet of you, (b) is still offensive.

On the other side of the pump.   Mask wearing.    10 feet.   Amusing.

Who the F is Gabriel Sherman?

The guy is morbidly obese and he’s orange with a weird hairdo.

He’s worried a mask won’t look good on him.  Go figure.

So today we passed 100,000 official COVID-19 deaths in the US. A devastating milestone....

[GooooMarquette]

It would seem appropriate for the President to say something about the devastating loss of human life. Is he going to say anything?

[tower912]

Is he going to say anything?

Investigate Scarborough.

Or celebrate layoffs.

I'm the victim.

Nah ... President Pandemic is too busy plotting a way to shut down social media.

The emperor would rather pretend he has the authority over Twitter and Facebook than say something about this somber situation.
