The latest

Anthony S. Fauci, the nation's top infectious-diseases expert, warned lawmakers Tuesday that there may be as many as 100,000 new cases per day, 2.5 times the present record rate of infections, if the United States continues on its current trajectory. When asked by the Senate's health committee what the overall American death toll might be, Fauci said: "I can't make an accurate prediction, but it is going to be very disturbing."

As infections climb precipitously across the South and West, hospitalizations are rising in seven states - Texas, Arizona, Nevada, South Carolina, Montana, Georgia and California. Average hospitalizations in these states are up at least 25 percent from last week, according to data tracked by The Washington Post.

Because of the surge, states are closing back down and workers are getting laid off for a second time, and Congress appears less inclined to provide additional aid. California, Florida, Arizona and Texas have implemented new policies that partly restrict restaurant or bar service. Nine other states have postponed or slowed their reopening plans. You can see where states are lifting restrictions (or shutting down again) on our reopening tracker.

The European Union confirmed Americans will not be allowed to travel there when it reopens Wednesday. The United States is leading the world in both officially confirmed infections and fatalities.

Despite what President Trump and some Republican leaders are saying, more coronavirus tests are coming back positive, and there's been an increase in the number of states seeing positive test rates above 10 percent. The World Health Organizations suggests at least 14 straight days with those rates below 5 percent before relaxing containment measures.

Economists say a nationwide mask mandate could save 5 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product. The Goldman Sachs analysts are not health experts, and their research focused on the effects of federal policy on the GDP, but the findings are in line with published studies on the efficacy of masks.

As such evidence mounts that masks alone would have a significant impact on the spread of the virus, Trump's Republican allies are practically begging him to encourage wearing them. There's been a massive uptick in recent days of well-known Republicans pleading the case for masks, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Fox News host Sean Hannity and "Fox and Friends" host Steve Doocy. New data from the Pew Research Center suggests Trump's handling of the pandemic is pushing his support lower.

Ummmm, , , , ahhh, , , , I'm not the "moron" here, , , , go argue with The Washington Post.

And, , , , this just in: "For the winter, there's concern," Dr. Jennifer Ellice, an ER physician based out of the Los Angeles area, said on Yahoo Finance's The First Trade (video above). "But I'm also just concerned for the next couple of weeks because we know that's our lagging indicator. From what I'm seeing right now, I think that unfortunately there's going to be a lot of death coming."

Arizona has 20, 30 and 40 year olds in the ICU, on ventilators, , , ,!!

Trump is getting ready to be Butt Fucked by a "Double Dip Recession".

Oh, and, one of the medical experts said this morning that unless this is made "under control" ASAP that there could be an additional 500,000 deaths in the US by Winter time.

Oh, and, , , , , our friends in China say that they have discovered a new "Swine Flu" that could go ballistic!!!

New swine flu found in China has pandemic potential

AFP AFP.June 30, 2020
0:33 1:15

Washington (AFP) - Researchers in China have discovered a new type of swine flu that is capable of triggering a pandemic, according to a study published Monday in the US science journal PNAS.

Named G4, it is genetically descended from the H1N1 strain that caused a pandemic in 2009.

It possesses "all the essential hallmarks of being highly adapted to infect humans," say the authors, scientists at Chinese universities and China's Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

From 2011 to 2018, researchers took 30,000 nasal swabs from pigs in slaughterhouses in 10 Chinese provinces and in a veterinary hospital, allowing them to isolate 179 swine flu viruses.

The majority were of a new kind which has been dominant among pigs since 2016.

The researchers then carried out various experiments including on ferrets, which are widely used in flu studies because they experience similar symptoms to humans -- principally fever, coughing and sneezing.

G4 was observed to be highly infectious, replicating in human cells and causing more serious symptoms in ferrets than other viruses.

Tests also showed that any immunity humans gain from exposure to seasonal flu does not provide protection from G4. . . . . . https://news.yahoo.com/swine-f...tential-083627669.html

Even if that turns out to be the case, we have survived much worse with substantially less advanced medicine. Around 3 million Americans die every year anyway. But it isn't looking like it will come to that. Deaths have been dropping steadily since the end of April.

Don't forget to exercise, boys and girls. You can look at the numbers and draw your own conclusions.



Among 8,089 hospitalized adults with information on underlying medical conditions, 91% had at least one reported underlying medical condition. The most commonly reported were hypertension, obesity, chronic metabolic disease, and cardiovascular disease. Among 158 hospitalized children with information on underlying conditions, 53.2% had at least one reported underlying medical condition. The most commonly reported were obesity, asthma, and neurologic conditions.

The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) collects death certificate data from vital statistics offices for all deaths occurring in the United States. Based on death certificate data available on June 25, 2020, 6.9% of all deaths occurring during the week ending June 20, 2020 (week 25) were due to pneumonia, influenza or COVID-19 (PIC). This is the ninth week of a declining percentage of deaths due to PIC; however, the percentage remains above the epidemic threshold of 5.9% for week 25. Data for recent weeks are incomplete, and the PIC percentage may increase as more death certificates representing deaths during these weeks are processed.

Deaths have been dropping steadily? No. Wrong. Again. People are dropping steadily. Im not saying you're stupid but if you're smart, measure that coffin now and get that suit dry cleaned.

Moron!



From the CDC.....current death rate for week 25:

"Based on death certificate data, the percentage of deaths attributed to pneumonia, influenza or COVID-19 (PIC) decreased from 9.5% during week 24 to 6.9% during week 25 but remained above baseline. This is the ninth week of a declining percentage of deaths due to PIC, but this may change as more death certificates are processed, particularly for recent weeks."

When you look at the data on the age of those who have died and been hospitalized and the list of preexisting conditions, the information I am reading isn't really telling us much we didn't already know. You don't see a lot of people over the age of 80 or so who are obese. Obviously, not all of the contributing preexisting conditions are self-inflicted but it looks like many of them are.

"Among 8,089 hospitalized adults with information on underlying medical conditions, 91% had at least one reported underlying medical condition. The most commonly reported were hypertension, obesity, chronic metabolic disease, and cardiovascular disease."

Outright lie. See, I win my arguments by telling the truth. You guys have to lie. I have no idea what you think that you will gain by that, so long as I am here to point it out.

Cases are rising fast.



That chart should have gone all the way down by now but Trump sycophants wanted to please the orange twitler god so shit is going haywire now.

Here we have the same chart but for deaths. It is slowly rising and will catch up with the above chart's form in a few weeks when the disease goes the full course on these people from the 30k + daily cases the past we or so. Deaths are delayed 2-3 weeks. We'll be seeing a surge in 2 weeks.




Either way, the moral of the story is Trump and the GOP are killing US citizens.

...the only problem with the CRAPDigital bullshit prediction is that MOST of the new cases are YOUNG PEOPLE....

They don't usually DIE from the Wuhan Chinese Virus

Yes...he's a fucking MORON!

Not sure of where but, "out west" somewhere, the morgues are full and they have requested reefer trailers to store the bodies in.

But, again, thank God that it is over, , , , ,!!!!
