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

Don't know if you'll be able to see this. Click for full size. Huge spike in cases in Connecticut on Monday but it seems to be an outlier in the downward trend.

You mean 3500 cars in a grass field for rental car overflow doesn't just spontaneously combust?

When M&R Liquor in Manchester when up in flames with the fire alarm deactivated after hours only to have a sign go up a few days later boasting being rebuilt bigger and better I had to scratch my head.

A few things: (1) Florida's numbers are hocus pocus, there is no way they have ~ the same amount of deaths as CT with 7x the population and an idiot governor that sat on his thumbs; (2) another reason to wish you were 24 again :(.

I'm an elementary school teacher with a 10 week old daughter. My wife is a pediatric nurse who goes back from maternity leave 4/19. I'm not all that concerned about myself getting sick as a healthy 32 year old but I'm fairly concerned about bringing it home to my daughter. Hand washing about 20 times a day and changing before I touch my daughter when I come home.

I'm mostly concerned about the social ramifications and impacts on daily life, accessing food and supplies and what that could look like in 2 weeks.

I'm glad a lot of proactive steps are being taken towards containment. I'm just really really really hoping it has subsided before my wife is back at work.

I get the fear but the flu is probably more deadly to infants.

I can't wait to see what it'll be like at work next Monday... Gov. Wolf has ordered everyone to wear masks in the supermarket. If you don't have one, we (supposedly) won't let you in and you'll need to make an alternative plan. Goes into effect Sunday night. Given the first hour is dedicated to seniors, this oughta be fun.

I’m a PA resident and I saw this too. Do homemade masks count? I don’t know where to buy a mask. I went to Costco a week ago and didn’t understand where all of these people got masks. Probably 90% had one on.

I'm 99.9% certain homemade masks count as that's what most of us use when working since the store can't get a supply of masks (unless the state is sending us some). Hell, a bandana probably counts.

I'd guess most of the masks you saw, unless they were surgical style, were simply masks sitting in people's basements. I have a single N95 that's filthy as crap since I use it when spreading lawn product. But I've used it in the store.
 
Buying Pfizer, they are working with a German company to develop the vaccine. Sounds like they could be onto something.

It went smoothly for SEPTA. Last I heard, SEPTA is now going to give them to riders who need one.

Are you suggesting the national media and south Florida local media are sitting on stories of mass death because it would look bad?

Reality is every model shows CT with a much higher per capital death rate than Florida and a similar (4000-5000) overall number of deaths.

I don't know what the number is but there's no way Florida's numbers are that low, I don't even think they're reporting nursing home deaths in any data.

I looked at a map.

Turns out that Connecticut is right next to New York which has proven to be a bad thing.

There have been 50,000 tests done in Connecticut. There have been 230,000 tests done - we are simply getting sick at a different rate up here in the northeast.

I am saying they aren’t attributing deaths to COVID, not that they are hiding deaths.

Yep. And amazing how Fairfield County is doing worst than all the other counties.

I get it.

What I was referring to was someone suggesting numbers in other areas are way low and no one is bothering to look on to it.

I would guess if Miami, Houston, Charlotte or any other cities had huge numbers not being reported by the government some news media would jump all over it. At least I would hope they would do it.

The state just started breaking out deaths from long term care facilities.

As of now 122 deaths in nursing homes. I would expect that number to go up dramatically.

My county has had four deaths and three were from long-term care facilities.

Three of Escambia County's four COVID-19 deaths were at long-term care centers

Three of Escambia County's four deaths due to COVID-19 complications appear to be residents of long-term care centers in the county, while two of the reported deaths in Santa Rosa County were inmates at the Blackwater River Correctional Facility in Milton.

There's a lot of articles written about it. States are classifying deaths in a completely different manner. New York is reporting anyone who dies at home a Covid death, some states aren't classifying any deaths at home as Covid deaths. Some states aren't even classifying nursing home deaths as Covid deaths.
 
Florida is breaking out nursing home deaths.

There's no built-in reason why Florida should be suffering more than they are.

Except for all the old people and all the people who travel there from the Northeast all the time, and their large hispanic and black population.
 
The one statistic that would provide some context is total deaths in the USA each day. It is very hard to get such a number. There is no reporting system. Most states have there own platforms and many deaths are reported days (or longer) after they happen. The real stats often take a long time to catch up. Even something as simple as flu deaths are often revised a year or longer after they happen. But knowing the total daily death toll would give us important context on the pandemic.

Agree there are different reporting methods and times during day when reports are released. But we are getting anywhere from 4-8 weeks if data and you can see how different models are aligned and where they diverge.

Here"re a couple I look at for info:

As if now, not much of an outlier for minorities at this point in time.

This page has a link to all the stats for viewing pleasure.
