He’s on a health/jogging kick atm

Knowing him, he's going on very long, specific runs.

4th wave blip, of course, it's equal to our second wave, because the baseline is so damn high.



Some of this is improving, but some of it isn't. Michigan is still bad, Minnesota, the NE, and Northern Texas are still hot spots, or about to be.



It does like a few sttates peaked and are coming down already. Might be too early to tell, but some are still going up.

 

[Saint_Ward]

Side note, it's interesting that almost 9000 cases in Alchua County (Gainesville) were from UF students. And the predominate age group was the 18-24. (probably some students in the next age group too, but mostly 18-24.



positivity is creeping up, but still very low.

However, a scary point is living in more rural areas.

Now Muskegon isn't exactly 'rural', but the small city has 37,000 people in it. And all of Muskegon County has 175k or less people living there.

They are at 100% inpatient capacity.

Mercy Health Muskegon has declared an “internal disaster” for hospital capacity and patient surge as of Monday afternoon.

Also look at smaller places like Union County Illinois. They literally have 4 ICU beds and about 135 licensed beds. They're also at 100% capacity. Union county only has 17,000 people total.

Just got shot one

Just got shot one

phizer or moderna? if either please still wear a mask and social distance. It takes up to two weeks to build anti-bodies

Some really interesting world data here:

Really starting to see the divergence between the US and the rest of the world on vaccination. North America (and I believe predominantly the USA as Canada and Mexico are well behind), has over 22% of adults with two doses and 41% with at least one. The next closest regions are far below, with Europe at about 8.7% with two doses.

Meanwhile India's case counts for April alone are now double what they saw in all of March. China is seeing case numbers rise significantly.

So we thinking spring break on this?

phizer

and yes I'll still be staying safe

i think too many people are saying once they get the shot they're done with masks

Thanks for the map. I'm not surprised to see Porter county Indiana shown as a darker blue. That's where I work. There's a lot of window lickers here. You can walk into a pharmacy and get a shot with no waiting. People here just don't want it. I live in the adjacent county to the West where there's a 5 1/2 week wait for a shot. Different worlds.

Well, it's over the whole academic year. Right now their numbers are kinda low. So, no. I think it was local parties.

Finally something we're leading in (ok, like 3rd or 4th place), that we can be proud of! That's good news.

Still shockingly high per capita new covid case numbers though.

I'd venture a guess that world wide vaccinations will jump up after the US is mostly done and we're not gobbling up most of the supply.

Has anyone found a mask that is both effective against Covid, and this is most important, preventing the bathroom sharticles from penetrating it?

 

[bclemms]

Covid in the north should start to ease in the next two weeks. Will likely see southern and western states start to increase again in 3-4 weeks when temps get hot enough to start forcing people indoors but likely will see severe disease rates begin to decrease. Overall, I think our baseline doesn't fluctuate much for cases over the next month or two but then starts to steadily fall. Deaths and hospitalizations should start going down again fairly quickly.

Hotspots will continue to pop up but will keep getting smaller in size and less frequent.

Good news is that we definitely don't have a supply problem, on the macro level. Micro might be a different story. What's also nice to see is that the at least one does numbers are pretty high, so that means full vaccinated will follow suit within 4 weeks. (3 weeks for Pfizer, 4 for Moderna).




Basically anyone not deep blue need to pick up the pace.
