For Canada maybe tourism is small but there are other things rather than tourism that you need borders open for. But we treat Canadians like we do the state of Maine and New Mexico. They are there but not really. Europe and Asia depend on the US. We are the engine that runs their economies and the inventions. They will come to us eventually and beg us to visit them and do business with them.

Doesn't look like a pop to me.

Daily death 7-day rolling average is flat to declining.


But as JPO says: yet.

Deaths trail cases counts by a few weeks. How’s the Hospitalization rate doing? Is it flat to declining?

Hospitalizations are up. We'll see where we are in a few weeks.

I heard Russia and China will sell them weapons on the cheap.

Death rate not up: "no pop".

Hospitalizations up: "we'll see".

Got it.

"Go yell at an M&M"

It's a little early to declare victory for other developed nations. Time will tell if they actually have it under control.

 
What is the R-nought value in your state?

Interesting analysis and charts here.

According to the link you provided, 1.22. Wisconsin.

Tennessee is right on schedule. Shut it down, get it under control. Start to open things up, jump right back up with cases.

Ohio is right there with you. We weren't even making any progress, just holding steady. So we open it up and shockingly things start going south.

Instead of taking it as a sign to keep doing what we are doing we have taken it as a sign to throw all that out the window.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

Well according to the Atlantic, we were supposed to be seeing human sacrifice in Georgia.

What is "pop"? Your home state, NJ, popped, with 170 deaths per 100k. Georgia is at 26 per 100k. (About 26 per 100k die per year of diabetes in the US, 52 by accidents, and 200 per year of heart disease.)

Hospitalization rate increase in Georgia from low 800s in early June to almost 1360 is concerning. There were 1500 hospitalizations on May 1. So they are still below their peak, and the peak didn't produce much of a pop in deaths by tri state standards.

About 450 additional people hospitalized in Georgia since early June is a concern, but that is not even half the number of deaths in, say, Middlesex County, Jersey.

Yes and no, the initial Cuomo response resulted in probably thousands of oldster deaths that DeSantis avoided in FL. Different scenario now based on re-openings and it is infections among the younger set that have little to no self discipline. Now the look is to how many deaths result in this younger population, but for now deaths are steady despite the infection spike.

edit to show that deaths are steady:

I'm hopeful that this is the case.

I see the circumstances as different as well but struggle with discussing DeSantis' response as anything other than nonexistent. Cuomo took a wildfire and brought it under control. During that time, rather than learning from the experiences of Cuomo and other embattled governors, DeSantis took a victory lap trash talking the media. There was no reason to allow this situation to spiral out of control over the last few months in Florida. The fact that the death rate is steady is a function of the virus and it's impact on certain groups, not of the control that DeSantis has exerted on it.

While not a hotspot for travel like Florida or NY, I look at Mike Dewine in Ohio, who has done a heckuva job so far on this stuff. The numbers in Ohio are still very low.

Mandatory mask laws forbidden by Kemp.

SMDH.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/...orgia-mask-mandates/

Instead he "strongly encourages" masks. That is absolutely pointless.

The "it's a hoax" crowd will still not wear them.

Best of luck. I suggest that you move.

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

Nothing to see here, move along!

He just doesn't want to get shown up by Florida and Texas.

Here's the difference our Governor (Texas) realized he was wrong on not allowing cities to mandate masks and then a few weeks later, he put his own mask mandate in place.

It was too late- as the damage was done by reopening early- and too little- not having a mask mandate in place prior to reopening could have helped- but he did do a course correction.

So- this far in the grading period- he get's a D in managing the pandemic and not a F like the governors of FL and GA.

Suffer Well.

Yeah, but technically is that a “pop”? I mean, just cause it higher than ever and shows absolutely no signs of slowing down, can we really consider that a “pop” versus slow gradual decline into desperation?

You do realize this was started back in early May?

Yes it looks like it has finally "pop" but took a while. I fell for the other side of exponential growth. It takes a while to get going.

Be kind English is my 2nd language. My primary language is Dave it's a unique evolution of English.

I don't live in Georgia. But I'm next door in Alabama and have spent much time in Florida lately.

I follow the numbers fairly closely. Oddly, while Alabama and Florida have seen a mild (so far) increase in daily deaths, Georgia still has not. Alabama and Florida have seen death rates double their prior highs (but not approaching NY, NJ, Conn levels). Georgia death rate still flat and lower than before.

Do you think the curve for Georgia, Alabama, or Florida will spike up like the earlier NY curve?
