Pariah Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 The biology teacher across the hall from me--the one who's a hardcore Trump supporter, the one who grumbled about the necessity of the masking and cleaning measures we had to implement in the school this year, the one who insisted that COVID-19 would "disappear the day after the election"--just dropped into my room to tell me he's being sent home because he's tested positive for COVID-19.

Pariah Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 I got a 15-minute test and it came back negative. We go on winter break after today, so I won't be in contact with anyone except my family until January 4th. Should be okay. Ternaugh, L.

Pariah Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Just another example of a meeting that should have been an e-mail. I'm at home now, and after conversing with my daughter's pediatrician (whom she was supposed to have an appointment with on Monday) we've been advised to go into quarantine. We'll go in Monday or Tuesday and get tested, but it looks like we're on our own at least until Christmas. Which is unfortunate, because Lady P's mother has a birthday next week.

The way the death toll is rising that will not happen. More cases ? yes but the death toll will not top 350,000 by 1st January 2021. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we're already over 320,000. So if it remains the same, we'll probably top 350K. It's been *rising* too. Death rates tend to track case rates with about a 3 week lag. So saying "will not" is a significant overstatement. One does see somewhat different counts, tho, so this can be a factor, but based on the new cases numbers, we may well see an average of closer to 3500 deaths per day. That'll spike any count I've seen over 350,000 before NYD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Britain and Turkey now have 2 million cases For the US? 7 day average is basically 2600 right now. Click on the USA data and scroll down to the graphs; they're below the state-by-state numbers. If you're looking at the world numbers, at what *time*? The reporting day may not be completed. On the World page, look at the Yesterday and 2 days ago tabs; those are complete. But the 7-day average on the US data page avoids the day-of-week fluctuations; Sunday's always lower, Thurs/Fri are usually the highest.
