Might be a repeat....
An estimated additional 180 - 195 deaths per day occurring at home in New York City due to COVID-19 are not being counted in the official figures. "Early on in this crisis we were able to swab people who died at home, and thus got a coronavirus reading. But those days are long gone. We simply don't have the testing capacity for the large numbers dying at home. Now only those few who had a test confirmation *before* dying are marked as victims of coronavirus on their death certificate. This almost certainly means we are undercounting the total number of victims of this pandemic," said Mark Levine, Chair of New York City Council health committee [source] A study by disease modelers at the University of Texas at Austin states that "Given the low testing rates throughout the country, we assume that 1 in 10 cases are tested and reported. If a county has detected only 1 case of COVID-19, there is a 51% chance that there is already a growing outbreak underway" [source] |

Things are looking up. Looks like Ny is turning the corner and the rest of the country will follow. It's time for America to kick @ss again.

Louisiana reported tonight that the number of reported cases is flattening.
Washington state's governor reported that they have a surplus of ventilators and are willing to share them with CA or NY. Looks like we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. TP shelves should be fully stocked in a few weeks. And the curve seems to be flattening here in Maricopa county as well. |
