We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

Ne he was talking about the country as a whole not just sports.

The average is like 5 days. 14 is the extreme outlier.

That's fine and all but can anyone really make an argument that until numbers are going down consistently opening things is probably not a great idea?

During the 1968-1969 Hong Kong Flu Pandemic which killed 100,000+ Americans (mostly ages 65+) and had an R0 comparable to COVID-19 (1.06-2.06 during the first wave and 1.21-3.58 during the second wave), there was no “social distancing” or lockdowns.

Instead America went on with their lives and historical events such as Woodstock, and millions gathering to watch and celebrate Neil Armstrong walk on the moon took place.

Meanwhile 50 years later people are now locked in their homes and afraid to get a haircut.
I do think it's funny how throughout this thread is you keeping moving the goalposts on this as the death rate keeps climbing.

At first, it was how H1N1 killed 12,000 in a year, and COVID was no where near that. No big deal. This is overblown.

Then when it went higher than that, it was the seasonal flu, and how that kills up to 60,000 people. More than COVID, this is overblown.

Now we've shot past that, and it's the 1968 flu. That killed 100,000 Americans. That was way worse than this, this is overblown. We need to reopen.

Two months from now: "Well 675,000 Americans died in the 1918 flu. That's more than have died in COVID. This is overblown. Things need to re-open."

Two years from now: "Well the Black Death killed 50 million people. That's more than have died from COVID. They went on with their lives. This is totally overblown."

Five years from now: "Well, 8 people survived the Great Flood in the book of Genesis, and there are 15 people alive today. See! This is overblown! We need to re-open society! I can't wait to go to Starbucks!"

I don't know if the difference is terribly meaningful given that there was no statistical significance between blood type and odds of intubation or death.

If there's no morbidity or mortality benefit it's more of a factoid than something of clinical significance.

Article on risk factors. T2D is looking to be a big one. No surprise, blood sugar is key to so many chronic diseases.

Ok let's say 5 days, how does an increase is confirmed cases one day after a state starts opening up correlate?

A better metric would be new cases / number of tests administered in the days after a state starts opening.

Ok your post made me crack up laughing cause that really sums up his posting, that and having a soda and doing a line of coke are equal.

The question is are the increase following the same pattern or is there a new spike?

Notice Texas wasn't mentioned in the article you linked.

I’m not saying it is futile. I don’t believe that at this moment. I’m again talking about the hypothetical of things not getting any better for months despite these efforts. If that’s the case, and this thing has been here for as long as we now believe, then yes I don’t believe it made as big of a difference as we hope/believe.

I'm aware, I was pointing out that a lot of states are still seeing increases.

Of course I believe it has helped, if only because it’s my hope.
You don't really need hope, if you have logic.
