You’ve officially gone off the deep end.
Wait!?!?!? This whole time Canada has been doing what our CDC is now recommending and they don’t have people dropping dead left and right.
We have done 79 million tests, they’ve done less then 5.Calm down.
Sturgis biker rally linked to over a hundred COVID-19 cases in at 8 states so far.https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/multiple-states-report-covid-19-cases-linked-sturgis/story?id=72621900&id=72621900&__twitter_impression=true
Wow.The Twitter account of recently deceased Herman Cain, who died from complications related to COVID-19, tweeted then later deleted a link to an article suggesting COVID-19 isn't as deadly as first thought. The Forbes headline below says it all:https://www.forbes.com/sites/lisettevoytko/2020/08/31/herman-cain-tweets-coronavirus-not-that-deadly-despite-having-died-from-it/amp/?__twitter_impression=true
I have a old friend who is basically Alt-Right, QAnon, consipracy theorist sort. He believes COVID is basically another flu that is being used by various governments to control their people. I was talking to a common friend that said if he lay dying in the hospital from COVID he would still be denying it.I have found this in my stock picking. When I am wrong my absolute refusal to close the position has cost me thousands in unneeded losses.Humans don't deal very well with being wrong. They would rather die.
The only notable exceptions are in the NY/NJ/CT region and upper New England, where rates are under 2%.
I saw Connecticut is at like .75%.Danbury, CT shot up to 7% recently and they contract traced a few locations in town that seem to be the culprits. The Republican mayor and our Democrat Governor were in lockstep in shutting some things down and re-implementing some restrictions in the Danbury area only.
I don't know if you are from Danbury, but if so, check out the John Oliver bit from Sunday.
I hope the trend continues. We had upward pressure due to UCONN/YALE re-entry plus Danbury like you said. Cases were up two weeks straight, but went back down again Monday (which represented a 3-day period, so a good sign).
A question for you, Frenn's.Do you think the daily data on cases is relevant any more? Is it giving us a true picture since fewer people are being tested?
We have more tests in CT. So it’s relevant for our state. Edit: I should add that my statement is true overall. But the weekend comps I referenced look to have testing down week to week. So could be a bad conclusion as it could be less tests run at a still low positivity rate. But by in large we are still watching cases, hospitalizations, positivity rate and deaths daily.

The reason I asked is because there is such a wide variation of cases in many places. Some can be explained by the day of the week, but I have been watching hospitalizations, positivity rates, and deaths rather than zeroing in on cases.
