Cygnia Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 My sense of smell is slowly coming back today. Could faintly detect the cinnamon stick when I made applesauce earlier. Mind you, now the hubby's losing his sense of smell. But we woke up EARLY today for voting. Double-masked and wore latex gloves while waiting for curbside pollsters. I felt so forensical! rravenwood, BarretWallace, Lord Liaden and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickstaPriest Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 I'm glad you are recovering better. I've had friends in good health who were bedridden with pneumonia for a long while. (I think I also mentioned my coworker who had a fever for over five weeks literally same age/physical condition as me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 I just noticed we started the day at just under 9.7 million cases. So before the end of the weekend, we'll surpass 10 million. 250,000 dead will be notably before Thanksgiving. Ugh.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat me to it. Highest so far...and Thursday and Friday have been pretty consistently higher than the other days, at least for the last several weeks. If both top 100K, as appears very likely, forget the weekend. We'll hit the 10M mark Friday night. Also, 1200 deaths. That's not the be-all, end-all stat but it's something to follow. (If nothing else, the overall number of serious cases should probably correlate.) The 7 day average is just below 900, which is the highest since early September. Yeah, it's gonna go away Real Soon Now. El Paso County has a population of about 720,000. 3100 new cases TODAY!!!!! So for every 230 people.....1 new case. 21,000 active cases...so about 1 person in 35, in the entire county. 1041 in the hospital. 311 in ICU. The county lists 234 ICU beds under normal circumstances. This is what's at risk if an area loses control. Lawnmower Boy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The country as a whole is kind of just stubbornly trending upwards, and no state has a downward trajectory. But there are some really scary per-capita increases across the midwest, starting with North and South Sturgis, and then Montana, Idaho, Utah, Iowa, Wyoming, Nebraska, Illinois... And none of these places strike me as having huge surpluses of ICU capacity. Meanwhile El Paso is having trouble finding space for more refrigerated morgue trailers.

unclevlad Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 My apologies if it feels like beating a dead horse but... a touch under 120,000 new cases. That's almost 30% higher than last Thursday. The 7 day average rose from 78,000 last Thursday to 96,000...about a 23% increase. 10 million cases overall is a lock tomorrow. We only need 80,000 and change. 250,000 deaths is 7-9 days away. We're 8th worst in both per capita case rates and per capita death rates, among countries with 1M or more people. EDIT: ugh...I didn't notice earlier. Yesterday set a record for most deaths in a day, world-wide...beating the mid-April peak. FIRST day to do so. Until today, which beat it by a full 10%. 9000 deaths worldwide. Just today. Old Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Utah set a record for new cases yesterday. It was ~500 higher than the previous record. Today we beat that record by about 300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
