    Are we still at 80% asymptomatic or has that changed?

    Niece just got back from vacationing in Vancouver. Do the math.

    Sounds like CBE is about to extend spring break according to my colleagues with kids.

    Correct me if I'm wrong.. but wasn't the initial circuit breakers designed to give our medical system more time to procure supplies to increase their care capacity significantly?

    I'm not sure my gym will survive another extended shut down. Paying $4-5k/ month out of pocket is getting very tiresome.

    It's a balance act of letting people do what they want (which increase spread) and lock down (slow the spread). We are trying to do something different but vaccine is just not coming fast enough and the AZ shit show means we are going to keep on repeating this cycle for awhile yet.

    Well, I'm sure the graduation/retirement rate of all the health care pros has not changed because of COVID. If anything, I'm sure a lot of kids are rethinking their career/training as health care pros after COVID.

    A bed and ventilator is pointless if you have nobody to work it.

    BC never really shut down though, they kept restaurants open through Christmas until now did they not? It's not really surprising if their numbers started increasing whereas AB decreased for a while with the restrictions.

    AB has seen a slight decline in hospitalizations/ICU over the past week as well our R value dropped a bit (still slightly above 1 though). Hopefully it drops a bit more and we can still move ahead with the next phase as vaccine efforts have more of an effect. Our vaccine rates have drastically increased the past few weeks so we should see a larger impact from that each week going forward through April.

    The promise of vaccines being the second coming of christ in this instance, will manifest as much as the churchs' 2000 year promise of the second coming of christ.
    Seems like vaccines are basically the second coming of Christ in terms of reducing case counts:

    I'd guess the same thing that happened to us last spring. More people outdoors. The weather was very nice there for February until the snowstorm. One week after that that hit, the numbers started going up again. After it melted off, the numbers continued downward. My bet is that it will increase in June, when it starts getting TOO hot again and everyone is indoors with the AC on full blast, but hopefully they'll all be vaccinated by then.

    Getting large amounts of your population vaccinated drives down cases? Shocking. Texas has administered 11.1 million doses into a population of 29 million. Mississippi has administered 1.6 million into a population of 3 million

    Probably a lot of unhappy people right now considering the massive surge they were predicting hasn’t happened.

    The vaccines were not supposed to make a marked difference until something like 70% of the population has received two doses.

    30% vaccinated - how many of the 11.1 have both?

    There are some studies out there putting out a 5:1 undetected/detected infection number as of July 2020 in the USA, based on detected antibodies in group of participants numbering ~250k. As with anything, take the numbers with a grain of salt and derive your own conclusions but I feel it’s plainly obvious even without such studies that we captured but a small portion of the actual number of infections. Even higher numbers are coming from Italy, France, et al, which I think makes for a safe assumption that prior total infections are resulting in highly populated countries that are getting through this well ahead of vaccination rates.

    There's a lot of theories about which point "should" have a marked difference but nobody really knows for sure yet. The good news is they are clearly already helping with deaths and hospitalizations.

    Also it looks like 1 dose has 80% efficacy after two weeks, so i don't think tracking fully vaccinated (2 doses) is as important as tracking overall # of people with at least 1 dose:

    Yes even with just the known the tested infections and vaccinations, there are a number of states that have been at 60-70% infection/vaccination rate for awhile now, meaning herd immunity essentially. No big surprise that these were the states with the fewest restrictions, which is what should have been the response the entire time according to the data we have been seeing the past year. There's light on the horizon at least now.

    CDC ignored Federal Laws and Regulations when it changed how the government Counts the Wuhan Virus, and Inflated Death Numbers


    A peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Science, Public Health Policy & Law last October reveals that the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) disregarded federal laws and regulations in changing how the government counts deaths from COVID, inflating the mortality numbers as a result.
    “All federal agencies are required to submit notification for data collection, publication, or analysis to the Federal Register BEFORE gaining approval from the US Office of Management and Budget’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OMB/OIRA) to ensure they are in compliance with the Information Quality Act (IQA) and the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) and therefore, approved to implement the proposed changes,” the authors of the peer-reviewed study said.

    “Based upon the complete absence of Federal Register records for ‘Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment,’ at no point, did the CDC inform the OMB/OIRA or allow for 60 days of public comment in the following unilateral decisions that attempted to bypass Federal oversight,” the study charges.

    “We allege that the complete absence of the appropriate Federal Register records is evidence that the CDC knowingly and willingly violated the IQA & PRA. As a direct consequence of implementing the two documents below without OMB approval, there was significant inflation of COVID-19 case and fatality data,” the authors said.

    The authors of the study, ten in number, compared fatality counts compiled using the unauthorized system endorsed by the CDC in a March 24, 2020 alert, 2020, early in the national lockdown phase of the pandemic, and the authorized and established procedures used by the CDC and all state and local public health officials since 2003. The 2003 standards are outlined in two handbooks, one for physicians and a second for medical examiners and coroners.

    “These handbooks have been used successfully for 17 years without need of update. They remain in use today for all causes of death except where involvement of COVID-19 is suspected or confirmed. When involvement of COVID-19 is suspected or confirmed, the March 24th, 2020 COVID19 Alert No. 2 guidelines are used instead,” the study notes.

    The study concludes that based on data for all recorded deaths in the United States through August 23, 2020, the new CDC system counted 161,392 deaths attributed to the virus. Using the older system, the death total was 9,684.

    The difference between the old CDC morbidity classification guidelines and the new accounting system was the latter’s inclusion of multiple co-morbidities along with the virus and the deceptive practice of listing the virus as the cause of death and the co-morbidities as “contributing conditions.”
