And look where deaths were highest. NYC has 26,403 people per sq. mi. and NJ has 1,195 people per square mile. What happens to the US death rate per million if you leave out NJ and NYC?

Lot pf people are going to die of Covid this winter. There is no way around it, especially if the government continues to downplay/ignore it.

It’s not the number of cases, but the number of deaths that is crucial.
I wish they would just give the numbers of who is hospitalized and number of deaths, not everyone is hospitalized or dies from the virus.

Well that's a useless comment. Not all hospitals are going to be full.

NC seems to do a decent job of the numbers, especially since they finally started providing demographics of the new hospitalizations. We've got 90%+ of hospitals reporting (97% did yesterday).

https://covid19.ncdhhs.gov/dashboard/hospitalizations

Some points of interest (some are rounded up):

total hospitalized for Covid: 1,200
Daily Suspected Admissions: 290
Daily Positive Admissions: 150. Which is odd....only about half the admissions turn out positive?
Current ICU Patients: 340
Empty ICU Beds: 490 (so, Covid need could double and there are still beds)
% of Admissions age 60+: 60% (and it's consistently this or more)
% of deaths 65+: still 82%

I bet the age stats are similar all across the country.

the government can't secured the border and who and what enters here and can't control the deaths of overdoses but Biden will control an invisible virus in the air? LMAO! The joke of the year!

Right now we are at 46 million people. Just getting started.


I'm assuming more than 10% will get tested though given loss of sense of smell/taste seems to be a predominant symptom. I'm not averse to wearing masks in lieu of shutting everything down, but that's it. Winter is coming in the northern hemisphere. It's coming. Get ready.
You are welcome to get infected as much as you want. I have absolutely no intention to.

Yes, it's lower now , you should've been more specific then. Treatments are better, and on average much younger crowd is infected.

Covid-projections, was way too high in terms of total/currently/newly infected, imo. I'm still not sure how that was that estimated. Pretty much all studies, in various areas have shown way lower exposure rates. UT Southwestern (Dallas) survey for Dallas county is currently at 5%.

Don't remember what Covid projections was exactly, but it was much much higher.
