Yea, I saw that too.
I agree, it’s silly to pretend to be slowly opening stuff up. Just open it up.

We should but I doubt that’ll happen everywhere

If you are still debating about it now I say go do exactly whatever the hell you want to do.
If you own a business that has been closed I would highly suggest you open the doors and carry on about your life.

new hospitalizations reached a new low this week.
This is the only number that has mattered the entire time.

Yeah, I'm watching hospitalizations and deaths closely. Florida case rates have spiked to 1000+ new cases for the last 4 days.

Alabama was showing a drop in new cases then there was a big spike. Alabama public health put out a press release that said the CDC system that feeds a lot of the state systems went on a drunk bender for a few days and then threw up all the numbers they had taken in over that time.
If Florida uses the same system it may not be a sudden spike.

Media outlets are reporting it as a spike. Not that that means anything but...

I have heard many communities and or states might tighten up their restrictions for reopening since everyone protesting is causing so much concern.
Not sure if the concern has really anything to do with the virus as much as it may be used as an excuse to stop the non peaceful protest.

Asymptomatic spread of coronavirus is 'very rare,' WHO says
From the data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual," Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of WHO's emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, said at a news briefing from the United Nations agency's Geneva headquarters. "It's very rare."

Mississippi has 498 new cases today ... most in a day so far

This would be great news but it seems a bit at odds with all the trouble factories have had with cases spreading when they claim to be controlling closely for workers with symptoms.
Also really makes wonder about all those reports of prisons with lots of positives while claiming extremely few inmates have symptoms.

Sure doesn't sound right.
More opinions than a holes out there.

At the risk of violating the politics free purpose of this thread, does anyone really believe one word the WHO says now?
Every single thing they've said about this virus has been wrong. The same week we had what at the time was thought to be the first COVID case in the US, they were tweeting that there was no evidence of person to person transmission.
There's no reason whatsoever to listen to them at all.

Probably a good tact to take at this point, since they've walked those comments back: WHO walks back comments on asymptomatic transmission of coronavirus
quote:
The World Health Organization clarified comments an official made on Monday that called asymptomatic transmission of the coronavirus "very rare," saying in a press conference that these carriers do take part in spreading the virus but that more information is needed to know by how much.
What they're saying: WHO official Maria Van Kerkhove clarified Tuesday that patients sometimes confuse not having any symptoms with only exhibiting mild symptoms. In addition, some patients transmit the virus before developing symptoms. Contact tracers classify this group as "presymptomatic," rather than asymptomatic.
Van Kerkhov said the WHO estimates 16% of people are asymptomatic and can transmit the virus. Some models suggest up to 40% of coronavirus transmission might be due to asymptomatic spread, she added, but much more information is needed.
Van Kerkhove stressed that her comments on Monday were specific to particular studies and did not represent a new policy or direction. The WHO said it regrets saying that asymptomatic spread is "very rare."

6/10 Alabama COVID age group CFR update:
<25 years old: ~ 3,333 cases, 3 deaths = 0.09% CFR
25-49 years old: ~ 8,888 cases, 28 deaths = 0.32% CFR
50-64 years old: ~ 4,948 cases, 122 deaths = 2.47% CFR
65+ years old: ~ 4,453 cases, 586 deaths = 13.16% CFR
Rates are essentially flat from two weeks ago. Items of note:
- Deaths with no underlying conditions remain rare (36 total of 739 deaths)
- The majority of the deaths (410) had multiple underlying conditions
- The last week or two have seen the first few deaths in the young population (under 25). Of these three deaths, two are listed as having no underlying conditions. One of the two was an infant.

Got tested yesterday. They tested for active infection and for antibodies. I was double negative.
Texas hospitalizations are blowing up which is a bad sign. They’ve been opening up pretty freely except for a couple of areas. I think Houston remains locked down pretty hard on orders from their mayor. He’s not convinced it’s safe and right now, the numbers seem to be supporting him.
As far as medical experts go, I think the one that has been the most level headed, factual, and apolitical through this whole crisis is Dr. Scott Gottlieb, former commissioner of the FDA. They have him on CNBC a lot and he seems to have been one of the most accurate people so far. He’s been saying all along to watch us muddle through the summer with a slow but steady level of cases with hot spots here and there only to have a major resurgence in the fall. I hope he gets that part wrong.

Not sure exactly what's going on, but we just added 849 cases yesterday, 200+ higher than any previous day's total. Hospitalizations are creeping up, but don't seem to line up with the seemingly random daily spikes in cases over the last week or two.
Posted on 6/11/20 at 10:21 am to TideCPA
Mississippi has been going up steadily as well. I know our new teacher contracts mention furloughs and pro rated pay . Not sure if they don’t want to get caught off guard again or they are anticipating closures / lockdowns this fall . Hope not anyway

Stuff like Memorial Day weekend activities and protest gatherings could cause spikes in new cases.
Posted on 6/11/20 at 10:47 am to TideCPA
849 in a day is a pretty big jump. I know we are testing more and there could be some reporting glitches, but still, that's a big number.
Hoping hospitalizations stay under control. Seems like we are still in pretty good shape there.
