And remember, the really important thing is Fox News ratings are down. So important, in fact, that Trump tweeted about it earlier today. However, nothing on covid for days.

He was never interested in taking care of the COVID problems and now that he lost , it seems that he not interested in Governing at all anymore . |

We’ve been asked to only go out for essentials. It’s not looking good at all.

Oh boy, those numbers are scary!!
When the second wave hit here, it was really only my state that was hit. We hit a high of 721 new cases on 30th July and 715 on 5th Aug, and it has been going down steadily since then. So far this month:
Nov. 1: 5
Nov. 2: 7
Nov. 3: 8
Nov. 4: 12
Nov. 5: 11
Nov. 6: 12
Nov. 7: 7
Nov. 8: 6
Nov. 9: 10
Nov. 10: 10
Nov. 11: 8
Nov. 12: 12
I know that we have a tiny population compared to the US (only 25 million) but I still think those numbers are pretty damn good.
And in my state we have had zero new cases since October 30th. Not a single new case in 14 days! I am so proud of what we've been able to do in my state, seeing we were by far the worst in the country. It just goes to show what strong leadership, very tight restrictions, and a compliant population can achieve.

Texas is, as everyone knows by now, the first state to hit 1 million cases. Almost 20K Texans have died, and at least that many are likely to have long-term or permanent effects from their illness. We’re averaging something like 10K cases per day. Positivity rate statewide is around 9% - I believe here in Houston we’ve edged back up around 7%. Everything in Texas is open, technically at 75% I think, but that’s really full operating capacity in most places. Very few places operate at fire code capacity all the time.
I just read an article that NYC is edging back up to the positivity rate where they would close schools - a whopping 3%.
Why are will still open here? I cannot keep the kids off of each other. I am a very good classroom manager, but kids are kids and they’re like little magnets. I have several who cannot keep their mask on properly, not because there’s anything wrong with them, but because they’re little kids.
My district has repeatedly changed its protocol for closing schools, mostly because the state warns of defunding schools that do not stay open. Current policy is (paraphrased) “no matter how many cases you have, you’ll only close if we say so based on some arbitrary determination.”
All I can do is laugh. I mean really, WTF. And then these yahoos go out and vote for the same GOP elected officials who have allowed this to happen.

Our 7-day average for positivity rate is 23.2%, and our schools are still open. 🤦🏼♀️ Less than 10% of our district opted for online schooling. (And yes, I’m in that group!) |

Things are bad. Our governor here has not yet formally locked us back down, but, while in September, we had days where the state had new cases in the low 300s, we're in the 1400s now without any sign of slowing. We've been asked to again limit our travel/going into work/etc. I had planned for us to rent a house on the coast over winter break (that's the kind of vacation we've been taking -- rent a house on the water and stay in), but I don't think even that is a good idea right now. Booooo.
Our district's schools haven't been open for in-person learning since early March. I know there are some other districts here that have reopened, but ours told us a month ago that we were definitely online through the end of January.

To some of us. Then again, some people are more preoccupied with “living their lives” as opposed to staying healthy and getting Covid numbers down.
ALL of us miss the days before Covid. We miss restaurants, plays, birthday parties-all of it. But those things are making Covid worse, so we will all have to sacrifice if we want the numbers to come down.

It only makes sense that more people are going to get Covid. It is a completely new virus that NO ONE has any immunity to it, and all we have been doing is delaying the inevitable for most people. It has a 94-99% survival rate, usually without complications. Until we reach herd immunity, there will be more and more new cases. The hard truth is that some people will die. I have known some that did. And it is tragically sad. But with our normal flu death numbers, even with 50% of the population getting vaccinated, being 35k-80k (including all pneumonia, even if not flu-related), 200k in less than a year is not that unreasonable for a BRAND NEW virus. Note that I am NOT commenting on anything about how the virus has been handled by any politician or the general public. And I have no issue with anyone who rejects my point of view. I am on anti-rejection meds, so I don't care.  |

I don’t want to get to the point where the hospitals are so full of COVID patients that people are dying of heart attacks because they can’t get care. Sadly the path we’re on right now that may be a reality before long, and that scares me far far more than the virus itself does. |

I cannot quickly put my hands on the 80k source, as it was in an article that didn't cite sources. |

Right now El Paso has something like 10 mobile morgues. That path you’re afraid of? Some cities are already there. This, prior to the holidays, prior to the real flu season. And minimizing the death of 1-6% of the population who gets this virus is just...I have no words. Also, it’s 235K plus deaths in only 8 months. |

It also means people are having difficulty being treated for non-COVID illnesses. DH was supposed to have surgery related to his dialysis, but it's postponed.

Yes eventually everyone will get it. HOWEVER, if we are responsible human beings that can stop being so selfish, we can hunker down until there is a vaccine that will protect everyone. So we won't have to brush off the vulnerable people who will die. I'm so sick of this I don't care about the 1-6% attitude. We are talking about PEOPLE not numbers. |

each day our numbers released are "highest daily total so far". we have around 1600/day in our province. projecting between 3500-5000/day by christmas.
we just got some openings dialed back for 28 days, premier is cautioning he will order a lockdown. schools still open but have no idea how long that is going to last. i think non-essential medical procedures will be next. we have been recommended not to get together *outside* with individuals that do not live in your own household.
everything has played out pretty much as predicted, once it gets cold, more people inside, more stuff opening up, isolation fatigue, numbers will climb, climb, climb.

Save the "without complications" for the common cold crap, not a virus that is still not widely understood. |

For some reason, statistics make people forget that they represent real people who contribute to thier communities. We have jobs, families that love us, friends..and yet we are expendable apparently. |

I am on anti-rejection meds, so I don't care.  You might to care, but herd immunity is a false hope. From the BMJ (British Medical Journal) re 'herd immunity' This is actually talking about India, but it applies worldwide. "Currently there is no evidence that the people who have recovered from Covid-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second infection, according to World Health Organization. We are nowhere close to the levels of immunity required to stop this disease transmitting. We need to focus on what we can actually do now to suppress transmission and not live in hope of herd immunity being our salvation. Vaccines put the spotlight back on herd or population immunity in the 1960s and 1970s as public health specialists worked to achieve sufficient levels of vaccine coverage to stop disease transmission, and in the case of smallpox and polio, eradicate diseases. So only a vaccine can end the Covid-19 pandemic. A vaccine is critical. Vaccines will save lives now and protect the future generations from COVID-19." BMJ |
