In the comments, it was pointed out that if this visual isn't helpful to the Covidiots: we've also hit capacity of the Cotton Bowl, if they put every corpse in a seat.

We're looking at a sellout of the Big House by June 1st.

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

As Florida starts to reopen, the architect and manager of Florida's COVID-19 dashboard, announced she'd been removed from her position, Florida Today reported.

Rebekah Jones said in an email to CBS12 News that her removal was "not voluntary" and that she was removed from her position because she was ordered to censor some data, but refused to "manually change data to drum up support for the plan to reopen."

Whelp, I learned today that COVID fired a shot across the bow of my life.

We the first positive test in the warehouse that I work (but not on my shift) for COVID. Obviously no names were released, but we were told what shift and I do cross paths with people from the shift where the sick person works as they are leaving at the same time as I start. It's a scary thought. Thankfully I work Sat-Tue so I got a few days to sit back and reflect on this.

Gonna be real interesting to see how people react to this. Being blue collar work my shift is an interesting mix of outright Dumpies and early 20's Bro-Dudes that are share some of the Dumpies stupid beliefs but they aren't necessarily politically motivated.

If a positive is found at my workplace (main building), we will shut down and sanitize everything. So far, no positives. Our CHI HQ has shut down twice since this started (they are massive, 1MM sq ft, so that was almost expected, given the number of workers). I work mostly alone, just have contact with about 5 drivers or so. But if my main building is shut down, I am also shut down (due to my stuff being "married" to orders over there).

I think the general make-up of our local workforce mirrors our governor's actions. What we want, is not what is actually happening, but we get it, so we follow along.

This whole thing is interesting, but scroll down to "Stringency Index."

It gives a good indication of the ineptitude and impotence of the Dump/GOP response.

FOX of course had a Dr on saying cases were down in reopened states and something is going on.

Not censored data of course. Just natural reduction of the virus.

I've heard reports on the radio (NPR headlines) about states that opened up on Monday or last week experiencing an uptick in cases. I don't think you can ascribe a reported uptick on Wednesday morning to opening up 2 days ago or possibly even last week. What you CAN pin it on is all the repeated reporting of data gathered saying in most places we stopped social distancing a few weeks ago as people were starting to get antsy. Especially in places where they knew the restrictions were soon to be lifted anyway.

What is going to happen in this country is within a few more weeks there are going to be no restrictions of any kind, other than possibly retail being limited to the number of people allowed in buildings at any one time and sports being played in empty stadiums and arenas. And for the locations with restricted numbers based -- for instance -- on square footage, compliance will be spotty at best in a lot of places. And hospitalizations and death rates are going to rise. (number of cases anymore is not a number that is useful for basic analysis since testing is all over the place depending on locality)

Those of us with functional brains are going to continue to severely limit our circle of contacts, wear masks, wash our hands 25 times a day and generally self-enforce a sort of stay-at-home measure. We'll be somewhat protected. MAGAts will take no precautions whatsoever and while that will create more of a risk for those of us who do believe in science, epidemiology and care at least a little bit about our neighbors, it will create a much greater risk for the MAGAts and their tribe.

Five years from now if we still have a functioning society (and if we don't here, some other country can study us as an example) researchers are going to look at year over year death rates and compare 2020 and 2021 to previous years. We know that the excess deaths can fairly be attributed in many cases to coronavirus OR SOME RELATED ILLNESS. I wouldn't be surprised if that number is absolutely staggering. I think years from now we will look at the coronavirus pandemic in this country as every bit as bad as the 1918 flu pandemic and we will attribute a similar number of dead to it.

Unless the number of cases are being completely suppressed across the board, there are enough states with or without SAH orders long enough to at least modestly judge trending results, and as such it's far from settled that SAH absolutely works, or that no-SAH absolutely would result in calamity.

The other problem is with basically no enforcement did people even stay at home? I think the mobility data for most states shows a ~40-50% decrease in mobility. So not exactly strict adherence. If you look at places that didn't F around it's pretty clear they work, but Americans had 5hit to do...

They did at first but as it wore on it got way worse. hell Minnesota was one of the better states and by the end even we ranked low when they looked at the data. (I believe we ranked a D)

People are stupid.

I think a lot of states were getting As and Bs at the beginning of April, but at the end of the month those As and Bs were Cs and Ds. Sort of like my academic record in high school. All A's as a freshman, some Bs as a Sophomore, got drivers license and discovered dating and as a Junior it was all Cs. As a Senior I was able to pass only because most of the teachers liked me.
