Your lengthy post got deleted, as I'm sure you knew it would.


I honestly hadn't considered that.  Fucking hell.

I guess I was too distracted, trying to be as honest as possible with my post.  Amazing.

Your constant chanting of the mantra "echo chamber" makes no sense.  There are plenty of people on this thread, sharing their opinions from widely differing perspectives.  SFbadger and bwar are constantly expressing thoughts and ideas that don't line up with what HB or MrN, for example, believe.  And those are all different from how badgerfan or CD choose to opine.

The difference is they are able to do it without talking politics, at least on this thread.  You aren't.

You're not the only one, of course, lh320 has expressed his unhappiness with me several times because I've deleted his posts as well.  And beyond you two there are others, still.

I read your post before I deleted it.  I could tell you were being earnest.  The problem was, this wasn't the thread for it.

If you have ideas on where to go from here, great.  If all you can do is focus on how we got here, which for you, inevitably leads to a political discussion, then take it somewhere else.  You've already been told many times that this isn't something that's going to be accepted on this thread.

You're like a prodigy at twisting words.  I say the masses in the US wouldn't be accurately described as adults, and you pull the phrase "almost none of us" out of your ass.
I pulled it out of your ass. It was gross.

I don't know what to "believe" or "think" about COVID, really, other than the obvious.  I'm still trying to understand it.

All contributive posts here help.

Georgia has trended from about 1200 reported cases per day to about 1800, the high reached in June was around 3800.

Hospitalizations MAY have started back up, too early to tell.  While we tend to focus on the US or our state for obvious reasons, I'd note again that Europe is moving into a catastrophe zone.  France reported over 60,000 new cases yesterday, Italy nearly 38,000 cases.

To the extent the US has managed this poorly, Europe is doing far worse, and of course now had to shut down a lot of their economies.  And this could be headed our way.
If the US heats up like Europe has, there will be a major push for early release of a vaccine or a shut down, or both.

My best guess is this Spanish variant is more contagious as the weather has not yet changed that much in most of France.  And they are still going to school.

Then OAM is MUCH more open minded than I gave him credit for.  WVU makes it 3 in a row in Austin.

the weather has been mild so far
I don't think that is what is driving the numbers, at least, yet

As far as I can tell seasonality of the cold and flu are poorly understood.  We can say with a lot of confidence that they are seasonal, but not much confidence as to what factors make it so.  Seems the same  with the COVID.

I'd guess that the seasonality of viruses that spread in similar ways, would be similar in general.  We've never studied the spread of the flu or cold in any great detail, but we're studying the spread of the novel coronavirus across the entire glove in an unprecedented manner in the history of this planet.  I think we're going to learn a lot about ALL of them, through studying the current pandemic.

And I think we're going to find that the seasonality of the novel coronavirus is closely linked to large numbers of people intermingling indoors.  In warmer zones, this happens during the summer.  In colder climes, this happens during the winter.

Maybe. :)
