MACA - Make America Contagious Again

My fav hat

That is so ignorant. Would you vote Hitler in over Trump?

Since when was Hitler the only alternative Trump?

I never said he was. I'm trying to gage your scale of how evil you feel Trump is. Would you vote for Hitler over Trump? Mao? Musolini?

There are thousands of contagions in the world. You can't live in a bubble. It's not about getting COVID, it's about dying. And dying is approaching minimal levels. Not sure why people feel this need to push their panic porn.

Not to mention they are counting 15 people for every one that tests positive (they are counting the people they came in contact with).

How is that deaths approaching minimal levels working out?

Take a look at that same CDC site now (8/16/20) and notice that it's no longer diminishing for dates more than 2 weeks ago. The death rate as shown always appears to diminish for the last 2 weeks of the chart because of the delay in reporting data. Since 6/20, we can see that the death rate is going up again. Typical flu deaths were 30k in a year. This will soon be 200k in less than a year.

Its a miracle all deaths from causes other than covid-19 are at all time lows despite the increase in population.

Here's another useful charting page that has a number of different data-viewing options. http://covid19chart.org/#/?select=CA%3BFL%3BTX&start=3%2F1%2F20&stat=7day&norm=pop&include=San%20Diego,%20CA%3BTX&series=deaths&scale=linear

Interesting.. can you provide a link to some information on the 15 contacts being counted along with positive actual tests? I'd like to learn more about that.

Very interesting, thank you for sharing that link. The peak of 4/18 seems to correspond to about 4 weeks after the CA (as one example) shutdown of 3/19. The chart could be interpreted to show that the shutdown work insofar as reducing deaths, and that re-opening would have the effect of making for a contagious environment once again. Thank you again for sharing the chart, from an objective standpoint, I look forward to following the data.
