Getting kinda old and stale, but, the sheep and closet queens are happy being scared to death. Never going away and will always be there to end the world as we know it.

All that really matters are the vent rates (up, down, or sideways) as it shows how we re able to handle the load and the antibody results, showing how many in the community have been infected. PCR rates don't mean diddly.

2:28 Maximizing the death rate at the point just before hospitals get overloaded is not a humane policy. What we need to do is find the balance where we are saving as many people as possible while not killing the economy. There are some risky activities than can be curtailed without causing significant economic harm.

The only thing being restricted at this point is large gatherings. Let's run with this for a while and see where we are, particularly after students go back to class.

Italian Doctor saying the virus is weakening and no longer a major threat. Other Doctors say maybe not.

Yes, those large gatherings to loot, burn, and vandalize should probably have been cancelled. They rant, they scream, they trash things, and of course, the thing that set them off will be yesterday’s news soon. Yes, it was a terrible thing, but...mass riots, at such close range? Madness, idiocy, irresponsibility. I wish only the protesters would cross-infect each other, but they will carry it back to a wider circle. Those impassioned morons could have stayed home and vented their spleen on FB just as well. Would have had about the same impact, in the end.

If I want the best military or police uniforms on the planet, I look to Italy. Not so much for medical advice.

I just love Italy. I'm ready for this pandemic to end so I can return and forget for a time, that Jackson, MS even exists.

The number of Mississippi deaths is crazy. Tennessee has over twice our population yet has half the number of deaths. Alabama has 2/3 more people and 100 fewer of deaths. Arkansas has about the same population but only a fifth of the number of deaths. What is going on? Our death rate is 2 to 5 times higher than our neighboring states. I know we're dead last as far as health goes, but it shouldn't be that much different.

Louisiana has a much higher death rate, but that is because of the outbreak after Mardi Gras infected New Orleans and the surrounding areas. Louisiana is the example of why large gatherings need to be very limited until this is under control.

Monday numbers. 403k Tests. 16k Positive. More than 2 million tests in the last 5 days.

Here's a question:

If there are 15,792 cases but only 9401 recoveries, do we have 6,391 people with Covid 19 that are hospitalized or are they impaired so not fully recovered?

7>47, The presumed recovered number is 11,203. The number was apparently updated since KF made his post.

From the website:

Presumed recovered if
1) It has been 14 days or more since the case tested positive, if they were not hospitalized
2) It has been 21 days or more since the cast tested positive, if they were hospitalized or hospitalization was unknown.

All deaths are excluded. Presumed recovered counts are updated weekly.

So what you have are 15,752 total cases. 739 have died. 11,203 have made it to either the 14 or 21 day period to be presumed recovered. 418 are in the hospital. And 3,392 are not still within the 14 or 21 day window after testing positive.

Of course the number of people in the public with active COVID infections greatly exceeds the 3,392 number as at least half are asymptomatic and will never get tested while others don't get sick enough to go to the doctor.
