You look harder you generally find more. Doesn’t seem to be stressing the ICU capability any though. So I would assume they aren’t finding a whole lot more serious cases.

Thanks for the reference

Not sure what’s so good about those numbers. In fact they’re pretty embarrassing compared to the rest of the world. If you look close the new daily rate has flattened to around 20k and hasn’t really gone down. The vids of people hanging out not wearing masks or social distancing won’t help either. Not sure why they can’t be responsible and still go out. Also I don’t know anyone that’s testing for this. The two local testing sites have packed up and closed a while ago where I live.

Actually, if you look at fatalities per million citizens, we're about the middle of the pack. UK, Italy, and Spain are off the hook. If we took New York (and Cuomo's idiocy of sending infected patients to nursing homes) and counted only half of their number, our FPM is lower than most countries.

you don’t LIKE deaths going down and testing going up?

and what part of the world are you talking about? We are well back in the pack among countries with reliable counts. Here is our deaths per million:

and had not NJ and N.Y. (Among others) seeded their nursing homes wIth contagious people infecting the staff and other residents, it would have been a H€|| of a lot better:

Talk to governor Cuomo about that fiasco.

Look at the daily new infections though today.. that’s the embarrassing part. Look at the ratio. Other countries have gone way down or even zero, even those with higher per capita deaths.

Because our testing is way up. Other countries simply aren't looking (hard). Statistics!

The US is also enormous compared to the majority of the rest of the world.

It’s looking more promising for sure. At the beginning, when the virus was unmitigated, daily rates were climbing like a rocket ship, then they suddenly started tapering off. Even 2 weeks after economies started reopening the trend continued down, which is great news, it means the actions we’re taking are working and the spread can be controlled. But, if we completely let our guard down there’s likely no reason the virus wouldn’t spread as aggressively again. I will not be surprised if the riots end up setting us back a few weeks (we’ll likely know in a week or so).
