There might have been a decrease in cases per day cause we dont know the total cases

and our testing has greatly increased over the last 3 weeks but per day case count has not

so we might be gaining on it some    maybe
I'd like to see test rates better broken out by geography. Are we greatly expanding testing in NYC or in Lubbock?

Edit: I should point out that daily test rates are available here by state: https://covidtracking.com/data/us-daily 

I just don't have the time to really look into it.

There was a fascinating piece on how heart attack patients are not showing up in the ER at anything like normal numbers.  The docs think folks are scared to come in.

Strokes as well, the ERs apparently are quiet.

Part could be people are living with less stress (????).

probably having heart attacks at home and the death being classified as COVID

Deaths due to all causes in the NYC area are running 3x normal.  The COVID coded deaths account for about half of that, the rest could be undiagnosed COVID cases.

Sweden appears to be doing "OK" with their approach, which includes distancing but few mandatory shut downs.  They are largely staying separated from each other.

I can't tell yet about Georgia, so much is still closed I'm not sure things have changed that much.  Traffic seems to be a bit higher.  The Albany area is bad, I am not sure why the governor didn't except them.

Could be.  I'm certain some of them are.

But, given the quiet of the ERs, I'd assume that there's a decent chunk of them that are simply heart attacks/stokes/etc. that never came into the hospital, either for fear of COVID, or because lack of access or transportation, that they might have had prior to the pandemic.  

To think that people just stopped having heart attacks, or strokes, isn't logical. And I doubt there's a ton of "slipped in a bathtub" deaths but to think there are zero wouldn't be logical either, because we know that and other strange physical accidents happen quite a bit in a city the size of NY.

I'm not sure how similar they are, but a Finnish guy told me the old joke (which I'd heard before applied to engineers): 

Q: How do you identify the extroverted Finn?

I think Sweden is doing ok... I think that as we start to approach reopening, we have something to learn from their approach. I'm a little concerned it won't translate, though.

The two "main hustles" appear to be this absurd Plandemic nonsense and separate claims Bill Gates is behind all this so as to microchip us all.

It's a tribute to how gullible humans are when they read something they want to believe.

If you want some absurdity, look up Arizona.  
51st? in testing rate.
Made a big deal about a state-specific study.
Trump's visiting!  Was throwing the state-specific study in the trash.
We're following Trump's plan...but it's a secret plan.
Backlash.
Oops, we need to go back to our state-specific plan.  

...to be continued.

I haven’t read all that and I don’t deal in conspiracy just fact. And just a couple quick facts here:

A group that Bill Gates’ foundation was involved with in India that was experimenting with vaccines on the Indian population was shut out by the government of India. Details of what exactly happened are a little hard to come by, but it 100% happened. The government of India took over and claimed it was because they didn’t want outsiders being involved/making health decisions/policy.

Bill Gates is 100% a part of/giant supporter of the id2020 program, a program that aims to give everyone in the world an electronic id and microchip. Microsoft was a founding member of id2020. That is fact, not conspiracy you can look it up.

Bill Gates isn’t all he’s cracked out to be. He’s still the little nerdy ego-maniac asshole that we saw in the deposition tapes two plus decades ago. He just has a great way of hiding it now.

The idea that ID2020 is going to microchip us all with a vaccine is .... a bit out there, for me.
