Is coronavirus changing?


Bormio

Recommended Posts

Cases, cases everywhere - but deaths on average over the last week down 2/3 from the peak.  Is it a change in the virus, healthier people getting sick or what?  Many places have been open over a month and deaths are still declining.  Even hospitalizations are not going way up - flat over the last week in South Carolina for example.

Who are you posting this shit for? To help convince yourself of something?

"Many places have been open over a month..."  What the hell does that mean? Many, as in many around the country? Like, just a lot of places in general? Because of the places that closed during this mess, not anywhere close to 50% were re-opened over a month ago. Just plain bullshit, but sounds good to support what you want to believe. 

"Hospitalizations are not going way up"  This can be taken a number of ways. Are you suggesting hospitalizations have in fact gone up, but not way up?

What self-respecting doctor would post as you do on this type of forum?

Take your game to a medical site with the big boys and see how long you last posting what you have here. They'd eat you up and spit you out.

The virus is the virus. No change there. Younger people are getting sick. Here in Florida, some 48% of those recently infected are in the 20-45 age group. You would expect fewer of those to die.

Florida cases have been over 2k last 2 days which is highest since virus started 

 

Florida numbers are spiking fast

I wonder if infecting dose is related to lethality as well.  Even people not being strict about masks and going out and about are keeping their distance from other people, not shaking hands etc.  it may matter a lot.

That is an interesting question. It should actually be very interesting to see what the impact of the recent nationwide protests is going to be on Covid infections and the degree to which those infected from this behavior will get seriously ill and ultimately die. Mostly open air, largely younger population, but still a lot of exposure given the chanting and shouting.
