As article says more testing means more cases. I would like to see the net numbers or percentages based on number of tests available w/results. One other thing you can't forget to factor in. South Bend is South Bend. Not necessarily Indiana Governor's biggest fans and secondly....the number of people who come into South Bend from Illinois and Michigan the last 2-3 weeks. Hard to count for those numbers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 For those on twitter. @seantrende is a good follow. He broke down all the numbers in Texas this morning. Really good information in there for all. Basically breaks down the increased new cases along with increased testing which produces a net when those are factored in. The graphs I just saw show Texas 7 day rolling average is decreasing each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the info provided in the story does not support the shrill headline. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/texas-cases-of-covid-19-increasing-by-thousands-since-reopening/ar-BB14b61B?ocid=msedgntp Edited May 17, 2020 by 5fouls 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Adding to the Texas 'story' linked above. The increase in cases just happens to coincide with a spike in the number of tests. The media is so pathetic. And, oh, even if testing had not spiked, the increase in cases was not as significant as the headline makes it out to be. https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america/texas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the article: According to Dr. Baxter, there are now nine new registered trials trying this idea, including at Stanford, University of Kentucky, NYU Langone, University of Pittsburgh, and Vanderbilt among others.

tdhoosier Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) Interesting article: Sweden’s outbreak has been far deadlier than those of its neighbors, but it’s still better off than many countries that enforced strict lockdowns. I had a conversation yesterday and we’re talking about how so much is still unknown about this virus. Like how UK and Sweden decided to forego lock downs, yet, UK got slammed and Sweden didn’t? In Sweden, almost 30 percent more people died during the epidemic than is normal during this time of year, an increase similar to that of the United States. But as we all know, they did this without a lock down. Anyway, this article dives into a few comparisons/differences with Sweden and other countries. There’s definitely still a lot more that needs to be studied. I did find it interesting that 56% of their households are single person households. And obviously, the fewer percentage of obese people are helping their numbers, but you’d think an older population would work against them. This whole thing is puzzling.

What do you think about Vitamin D supplementation? The Nords do add a lot of Vitamin D to their diet. Vitamin D seems to possibly have a positive effect.

Hospitals get, It I reall $19,000 per covid death, $39,000 if a ventilator was used. In not hard hit places, doctors and nurses are being furloughed due to lack of work. This one size fits all response will prove to be disastrous. F China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vitamin D seems to possibly have a positive effect. For sure. If I were to guess, I’d think they take vitamin D to supplement for the lack of sunlight. I there’s a lot of talk about the virus getting weaker in the summer, which I’m not sure is the correct way to put it. Because of the sunlight and Vitamin D, I think that our immune systems get stronger in the summer. Which is why I’m hoping that we’ll see a lull in R (reproductive rate) these next couple of months. It is funny that you mention Vitamin D though considering how tied it is to a healthy immune system. But there are other things that we can easily do and will help strengthen our immune system. I don’t understand why there isn’t a greater call to get healthy, especially in this moment. Things like sleep well, try to keep your stress level down, eat healthy, lessen your sugar intake, etc. All of these are proven to help people ward off viruses or lessen their severity. I know everybody is waiting for a vaccine or magical cure, but there are things that we can do to help ourselves and decrease our risk for an ICU visit while we have all this extra time on our hands. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drroogh Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Interesting article: Sweden’s outbreak has been far deadlier than those of its neighbors, but it’s still better off than many countries that enforced strict lockdowns. What people don't take into consideration is the cultural differences, life in Sweden is nothing like life in America!!! Or China for instance! I have a program manager that gives me weekly updates on the 40 some tools I have being built in China. She lives in Wuhan! I've been to the PRC, I know better than to put her in a bad place trying to get her first hand opinion of the virus. I simply wish her and hers all the best! She wishes me the same! No offense, but life here in rural Georgia is NOTHING like life in say NYC! We need to STOP trying to put things in our own perspective, because we are all clueless to other peoples cultures!

Definitely agree. You couldn’t have a shut down like in Wuhan here in the US because of the culture. Populated cities are different than rural areas. But the Demographics I referenced abouve about and the cultural differences are all just a drop in the pond in what we truly know. I’m also really curious if we eventually find out that some sort of genetic disposition makes people more vulnerable than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
