OT: What changes are you and family making to your lifestyle due to coranavirus?

Got “socially distanced” married today at Elizabeth Park. Most people watched on Facebook live because Zoom didn’t work correctly. We still have a prepaid wedding in Charleston for next April that will sort of serve as our one year vow renewal/ wedding. I really just didn’t want to wait another year.

Aw.....hey, congratulations!

The best of luck to you!

Getting married during the pandemic is called 'Quaranteaming". Much better that way.

Weddings are generally ceremonial and pomp, in your case its so meaningful and quite special. I'm sure in spite of the ceremony, your friends will find a way to 'gift' you. Those envelopes are a nice bonus.

Congrats and smart decision. You guys will have a story to tell and pass on for generations.

-37 hospitalizations in CT today and a big dip in new cases.

Lamont’s reopen plan calls for 14 straight days with a reduction in cases and hospitalizations. Sounds good in theory but it could be a looooooooOooOng time until we see 14 straight days with fewer new cases. For example, today they report 412 at 5:00. Yesterday it was 700something. Even if it goes “up” to 500 or so tomorrow you’re still looking at a downward slope.

If he uses the federal reopening guidelines, it's not 14 consecutive days of lower cases, it is "downward trajectory" for 14 days. Big difference. What EXACTLY did Lamont say?

I was on a walk yesterday in Elizabeth Park and saw a small group celebrating. Blue Suit?

Congrats! Totally get it, when you meet the right person, you don't want to wait.

I’ve always been a “stat head” so with sports out I obsess over these numbers.

correct..it's the slope that matters...but doubtful that makes sense to a politician. you could have numbers like 412, 300, 250,195, 205, 185

FL had a bump up the other day after an ongoing drops, but still below the peak..turns out that day we did 50% more tests than any other day, so higher + number

My mom just called me ( she still lives in CT ) and her friends father just passed away at home. He died of a heart attack but his wife was surprised to find that his death certificate read that he died of coronovirus. My mother mentioned that the state gets federal dollars for every coronovirus death to help supplement the mortuary costs associated with handling bodies that MAY have the coronovirus. Any idea if this is true?
Expand ...
Don't know about the $$ part...but just spoke with a neighbor. He has a good friend that owns a funeral home so he understands how this works...the funeral home owner's father passed away at 93...He was Covid + but he had a heart attack....his 3rd in 5 years...death cert said Covid...nothing about Heart Attack....
 
Jumped waaaaayyyyyy up with 1835 new cases today but that also includes catching up on cases since back to the 16th
 
Anyone know what happened on the 14th? I understand that the reporting is lumpy, but ???

On the 14th, New York added about 3-4 thousands deaths that had occurred in private homes around the state. Many had died in the previous week or more. The state decided that there was reason to add them to the coronavirus death total. The day that added them was the 14th.

Wow, thanks. It's rare to ask a single question about any of this and get a neutral, succinct answer.

Tomorrow being Tuesday will be a big day to know whether the dip in that chart is for real. The weekend effect for these reports is real.
 
Don't forget that new cases and deaths are lagging indicators. They aren't necessarily indicative of the current rate of spread.

If I'm not mistaken, they were never tested...just presumed positive...which is a strange way to conduct science. IMO.
 
I believe his naked bongo drum video in his Texas house is better.

Here's a link that might satisfy your scientific need and @Palatine's desire for charts:

Is It A Random Statistical Variation, Or Perhaps Clean Coal Isn't So Wonderful, OR Is It Just A Duck!

Where we found higher deaths than normal

Note: Excess deaths are estimates that include deaths from Covid-19 and other causes. Reported Covid-19 deaths reflect official coronavirus deaths during the period when mortality data is available. In England and Wales, the Covid-19 deaths reflect the revised death figures from the Office of National Statistics. Istanbul reported deaths include those for all of Turkey, as city-level data has not been made public.

You cannot run in a mask.

And if you can run in a mask, you’re slow and you are actually walking.

I tried running with a mask on Saturday. No way I could do it for an extended period, but the road route that I run on Saturday mornings can be busy with other runners, walkers, bikers, roller bladers, etc., and even more so now that more people are exercising outside. After reading about the 15'-30' vapor wake in the article I posted upthread I figured I should have some type of covering available for when I come close enough for others to be in range.

It was pretty nasty out on Saturday morning so I used the balacava head covering I use for skiing, which has a hinged covering for the mouth and nose that you can pull up and down pretty easily. It was doable but definitely not enjoyable, and I only had it up for very brief periods when I was passing people and then going back in front of them. I need to find something better for warmer weather.
 
You need oxygen to run. The mask lowers you intake of oxygen. Also it increases your retention of CO2 as you re-breathe the CO2 you create. You can probably run in a mask but it is difficult.

Talked to my state cop neighbor. He said there are definitely a lot more people out and about in CT then 3 weeks ago. I think the distancing gets old with some people. If like he says more and more people are out each week, positives may start rising.

It was actually just a reporting anomaly. Added cases previously not recorded. CDC changed guidelines for some reporting. Back to normal yesterday.
