I would imagine the reason for that is more availability of testing and more younger ppl acquiring the virus vs older. Perhaps the virus has mutated to a less deadly disease? What is your idea of why more cases now are less severe than before? If all things were equal from the reported cases from Mar, April etc then we would expect to see 2500+ deaths a day in a few weeks. I don't think we are going to see near that much, although there will be an uptick. |

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed an executive order on Thursday mandating face coverings in public places "in counties with 20 or more positive COVID-19 cases, with a few exceptions," according to a statement.
This order will currently impact about 67% of Texas counties, according to state data. The text of the executive order says that failing to comply is punishable by a fine. The statement also said Abbott issued another proclamation that gives mayors and county judges the ability to restrict some outdoor gatherings with more than 10 people. The proclamation also mandates "people cannot be in groups larger than ten and must maintain six feet of social distancing from others." "Wearing a face covering in public is proven to be one of the most effective ways we have to slow the spread of COVID-19,” Abbott said in the statement. “We have the ability to keep businesses open and move our economy forward so that Texans can continue to earn a paycheck, but it requires each of us to do our part to protect one another — and that means wearing a face covering in public spaces." "I urge all Texans to wear a face covering in public, not just for their own health, but for the health of their families, friends, and for all our fellow Texans," the statement added. The latest numbers: Texas reported at least 8,076 new Covid-19 cases yesterday, the state's highest number of cases in a single day. |

Serious question. I don't know how you would test this...but what if the virus just had killed so many of the old people that it didn't have any old people left to feed on. Is there anyway to tell that the virus isn't getting weaker or we aren't doing a better job with masks, it's just killed everyone it could.

The antibody testing makes it seem unlikely that that's happening, but if there's any truth to the idea that a significant portion of people are naturally immune (e.g., because they got a related coronavirus recently), it's theoretically possible as far as I understand it. |

Wife says she heard on the radio that the JoCo mask rule is going to match with KC which would end July 12th. I have not seen that anywhere myself.

All this chatter about Florida and Texas, people need to be looking at CA who just hit 100 deaths for the day.
While everyone has been focused elsewhere the last 2 weeks, CA has passed NJ in total cases and is starting to look not very good at all. |
