What are the odds they break NY's daily record? I am thinking they will do it by next week. |

In large part there isn't. You can be as smug as you want but the fact of the matter is hospitals across the country are taking hits and laying people off because elective procedures were shut down for too long. Now that you have some areas flaring up you have decreased medical staff to handle it.
So say what you want, what I said stands and is not even debatable. |

No cheering just looking at the reality of their situation which isn't good. My uncle lives in the Villages and as long as the state doesn't lock down I suspect the case count will go much higher. |

I guess we can hope that if it's accurate that younger people are getting infected at a higher rate than previously, the deaths will also be lower. But it's not like the infections stop with them.

yup. I am really hoping that deaths don't significantly increase but I suspect they will increase some with all the infections unfortunately. |

I think the odds are they will increase some. Lets hope though it is not to the extent of what we saw a couple months ago.

So that's a little perspective that things are not always what the media makes them out to be. AZ is in a bad way. CA I say is even worse but no one wants to talk about them for some reason or other. But other places are not like that and not even close. It's a tough balancing act for sure but we have to maintain perspective. Right now at least at this moment, we have seen a huge increase in cases for the better part of 3 weeks and we have seen deaths continue to drop. I hope that continues as I think we all do but I think we know deaths will probably rise some. But that doesn't mean it will be NY all over again either. |

653 is the number to stay under today. I'm skeptical we'll come in under that mark.

I have a question about cases.
Nobody seems to put much stock into "well we're testing more, therefore we're finding more cases." My question is this. We all remember the stories back in March and April of individuals that were sick and couldn't get a test because of the ridiculously stringent guidelines. Isn't it feasible we're finding many more asymptomatic/mildly symptomatic cases that are leading to some of the increase? I'm not saying this is the lone reason for the increase.. but doesn't it seem likely to be playing some role? |

This is a perfect example of how dangerous it is when people just accept numbers at face value without thinking. Do both of you really believe that any reported number TODAY has any comparative value to any number reported then?! This just in: testing rates have gone way way up since then. In March we were not even getting the tip of the iceberg.
