What does moving avg mean
It's most easily explained comparing it to a 'normal' average. Whereas a normal average uses the raw number for each of the last 7 days, the moving average takes the result of the raw average of the last seven days and then averages that. So, basically, an average of an average.
At least, that's the way I understand it.

So, is China lying about their numbers, or do they already have a vaccine?
-
Not saying we've beat this thing or that it's time to take the masks off, but the 7 day moving average of cases in the U.S. is down over 20,000 since July 25th. That has to be good news regardless of your position otherwise.
July 25th - 69,328 seven day moving average
August 18th - 49,284 seven day moving average

I guess I'm not sure what many on here are trying to insinuate. Does anybody think we need to stop wearing masks, open up all bars, and start attending conventions in order to reach herd immunity? Just get a bunch of people sick before a vaccine is available and rip off the band aid?
Nobody is locked down right now. What policies do you think should be reversed?
I know you aren't advocating we going out in public and start licking each other's face in order to achieve herd immunity. What's your middle ground?
I was not insinuating anything. I was sharing what I thought was positive news amongst all the bad stuff. Whether we agree or disagree with how Sweden got to where they are today, you have to be encouraged by their numbers the last couple of weeks. No?

This explains why hard hit areas like NY are now faring better. We'll see soon if school reopenings have an effect.
Agreed. The article specifically states that places like Florida and Arizona should not have additional spikes either, once the current one fully ebbs.
-
The data to support the theory that Sweden may be close to achieving herd immunity (see linked article 2 posts above) is strong.
- Seven day moving average of cases - 187
- Seven day moving average of deaths - 1

Interesting quote from the Newsweek article I linked above. Sounds like what happened in the U.S. That said, the article also talks about how herd immunity can be achieved with as little as 40% of the population, making it much more achievable than the 80% that has been previously thrown out there..
"This shift is because transmission and immunity are concentrated among the most active members of a population, who are often younger and less vulnerable," the researchers wrote. "If non-pharmaceutical interventions are very strict, no herd immunity is achieved, and infections will then resurge if they are eased too quickly."

A couple of herd immunity articles. The Newseeek article indicates that 40% may be enough to achieve herd immunity.

Great job, Marco. It would be cool to finally see an Andretti in victory lane again.
I liked Mario well enough, but I never warmed up to Michael. Marco seems to be a little bit of an after-thought.

I used to not like Dixon. But, he has grown on me a little bit. He obviously is one of the all time greats and it seems to me that he has the proper respect for the track and the 500.

That was really close in terms of delay and penalty. 27 seconds is a long time but glad they just gave him a talk afterwards.
Splitting hairs, but I don't think it was quite 27 seconds. I say one video that attached a timer to it and it counted 24. I just re-watched the video I linked and it looked to be about 25. Is there a specific time (something like 20 seconds) that they are allotted. Or, is that impossible since the longer the putt, the longer it would take to mark or tap in.
-
The Koepka, Rose, Spieth feature group flopped, with Koepka and Rose missing the cut, and Spieth getting in just on the cut line.

Penalty or not? I'm glad the official let it slide.

<Stepping onto my Population Health soapbox>
I'm so sick of our nation ignoring this. It's all about gobbling down medicine instead of doing the smart things to be healthy. And greedy politicians sucking up fast food/junk food dollars to ignore the problem doesn't help.
Don't even get me started on factory farming and children's hospitals featuring McDonalds in their advertising and in their cafeterias.
It's so much cheaper and more efficient to tackle these things in a population health-based approach, but we would rather be lazy and waste billions on meds/surgeries to fix problems that could have been avoided.

Interesting stat per espn - 3 players since the restart in the bubble are averaging 25 ppg while shooting 48% from the arc - PG, Kawhi, and TJ Warren.
No surprise at all with Kawhi and Warren, but I thought Pau Gasol retired?

espn write-up on Thomas Bryant, in the bubble --
8. Thomas Bryant's bubble defense
A big question for Washington's medium-term plans: Can Bryant be a starting center on a team with second-round ambitions? He should get there on offense. Bryant is a ferocious rim-runner who dunks like he wants to rip the basket down. He has a nice perimeter touch, and he's turning more long 2s into pick-and-pop 3s; eight of his 11 highest-volume 3-point games came in Orlando.
He's a surprisingly nifty passer given his (somewhat deserved) reputation as a chucker. He picks out cutters and has nice handoff chemistry with Bradley Beal.
It will come down to whether Bryant can defend the lane against good teams. His performance in Orlando was encouraging. He was nimbler corralling ball handlers on the pick-and-roll, more alert to where the offense might go next, and way, way more willing to make hard multiple efforts:
https://media.video-cdn.espn.com/gifs/mp4/2gif_2Q_WAS_OKC_8_9_Bryant.mp4
Bryant challenged more shots at the rim in Orlando, and opponents hit only 53% of them with Bryant nearby -- a stingy mark, down from about 60% before, per NBA.com.
Washington's defense still stunk, but that had less to do with Bryant.
There is a lot (like, a lot) of work left. (The Wiz should probably sign a defensive-oriented veteran center just in case.) Bryant's footwork can go haywire when he changes angles in tight spaces; he almost looks as if he's going to trip over his own feet. He's unreliable on the glass, overeager chasing blocks.
But Bryant just turned 23 and has logged only 2,700 NBA minutes. We are talking about the hardest part of any big man's job. Washington stole Bryant from the Lakers; the Wiz basically became L.A.'s Triple-A affiliate, only they can keep the players. They retained Bryant on a three-year, $25 million deal that has a chance to really pay off.
I think Thomas Bryant is a little underappreciated by IU fans. The dude plays his tail off every minute his is on the floor. Did that at IU as well.

Dr. Fauci is not a proponent of herd immunity.

Primarydoctor.org is like a Saturday Night Live skit of misinformation. I won't even comment on the rest.
Every media source is going to present data in a way that best serves the narrative they are trying to present. That includes The New York Times.
That said, just because a source is not widely known does not make it a bad source. I can't help to think about the early days of this thread where the perception was that the data published by Johns Hopkins was the gold standard, while an unknown source like Worldometer could not be trusted. Turns out that Johns Hopkins was using Worldometer's data. That's a very good example of perception bias influencing the way we look at things.
The reality is that two people on opposite ends of the spectrum can take the exact same data and manipulate it in a way that fits the message they want to promote. Let's take the link you provided from the Times as an example. It has graphed actual deaths against expected deaths for every state, as well as New York City on it's own. Someone that wants to isolate the terrifying possibilities of this virus needs to look no further than the graph for NYC. By contrast, someone that lives in places like Hawaii and West Virginia can look at their graph and wonder why they have to wear masks, can't go to school, and not have a football season.

The link below provides some really interesting data on a National, State, and even County level. It normally runs a couple of days behind the current date, but if nothing else, the color-coding in the maps gives a good view of the big picture.

On the disappointing front, Indiana is 2.5 weeks into the mandate to wear masks in public and cases are still at record or near record levels each day. Testing is up, but not to the level that would normally result in the percentage increase we have seen. I had hoped to see numbers begin to go down.
