Did you see the charts I just posted?

Why am I slaving away here for no good reason ...

Red Xs on the work VPN, knee.

New cases per day in the US are steady. New deaths in the US spiked a while ago and now are on a steady decline

This site has nice charts underneath the hard data

Here is the death rate trend line overlaid on the new cases, but shifted back based on the average hospital LoS before death. In other words, here’s the death rate relative to when the people who died would have appeared on the new cases graph.



I expect that we have gotten better at treating this with time, and the fact that new cases have been rolling out mostly in new areas that weren’t already struggling with capacity helps a LOT, but we are still at least a week away from being able to presume anything about whether the huge spike in cases will ultimately lead to a spike in deaths.

Yikes, Yakima. Glad I'm not there anymore. Although right down the road in Myrtle Beach is another hot spot

That list of hot spots looks like a Limp Bizkit tour itinerary.

NYC Marathon canceled.

Sucks. But it's the right call. Also, at least this time they were able to cancel more than four months out.

Hey B, the rednecks in my neck of the state are losing their shit over Cooper's announcement today

Glad those cherry bombs came in early. Gonna be a fun night of watching the neighbors think someone got shot.

Can we cut off America's aids infected dick (Florida) already?

Like seriously, what the fuck good is Florida for? Fuck all those stupid toothless diseased lepers.

Complete tangent here, but my hate for Florida somehow expanded watching the Epstein documentary on Netflix and I was thinking, with schools closed and so many more people out of work this Spring, this guy would have probably lowered his rates and increased his abuses. The state of Florida really needs to sink faster. Also, insert Bugs sawing this state off the map gif.

Thank you.

There's also a bit on the Grand Theft Auto Vice City talk radio station about a guy who wants to build a river separating Florida from the rest of the US.

That guy had a good idea.
