Zed Head Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share #1021 Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) As it stands, things are very clear, I think, on what's going on with the COVID-19 pandemic. It's not even being addressed as a health issue anymore, by those at the very top. But it's still interesting to keep up with what's happening, like watching a tsunami wave growing. Remember when various state governments were going to ban travelers from New York state? Ponder these graphs from MDMetrix. A person can make the increased testing argument but the graphs should drive a person to learn more. Hospitalization rates are up too. https://covid-19.mdmetrix.com/grid.html?list=all_cases New York state is going to be the safest place on the planet pretty soon. 16 states on their 14 day quarantine list as of now. It started at eight, on the 25th of June. And one of those, Washington, was apparently a mistake, it was removed a day later. https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/covid-19-travel-advisory Edited July 6, 2020 by Zed Head Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/63698-covid-19/?page=86#findComment-602197 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed Head Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share #1023 Posted July 6, 2020 And surviving it is not the only thing to worry about. Useful numbers are finally being generated about how many people actually come out the other side in the same shape they were before they got it. Not many. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jul/06/coronavirus-covid-19-mild-symptoms-who "Another troubling phenomenon now coming into focus is that of “long-haul” Covid-19 sufferers – people whose experience of the illness has lasted months. For a Dutch report published earlier this month (an excerpt is translated here) researchers surveyed 1,622 Covid-19 patients with an average age of 53, who reported a number of enduring symptoms, including intense fatigue (88%) persistent shortness of breath (75%) and chest pressure (45%). Ninety-one per cent of the patients weren’t hospitalized, suggesting they suffered these side-effects despite their cases of Covid-19 qualifying as “mild”. While 85% of the surveyed patients considered themselves generally healthy before having Covid-19, only 6% still did so one month or more after getting the virus."

Pilgrim Posted July 7, 2020 Share #1024 Posted July 7, 2020 It's clear that we're still learning about this virus and its effects and after-effects. There are complicating factors such as blood clotting, lingering lung problems, appearance of infections in younger people...there's a list of new stuff emerging as weeks go by. But IMO it all boils down to what I said from the start: This virus isn't going anywhere. We'll be living with it from now on. We will develop measures to mitigate it, such as medications or vaccines. We haven't developed those mitigations YET. We will continue to learn more about it. So for the time being, the best thing to do is pretend it's March, minimize exposure in public, and wear a mask whenever you step out of the house and may encounter other people. I realize people are tired of this, but as the sage and philosopher The Outlaw Josey Wales said: "Dyin' ain't much of a way to make a living, boy." Cover up, minimize your exposure and keep chuggin'. It will improve eventually, but it hasn't yet. 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/63698-covid-19/?page=86#findComment-602267 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Maras Posted July 12, 2020 Share #1026 Posted July 12, 2020 Florida reports over 15,000 new Covid-19 cases in a 24 hour period. If Florida was a country, they would rank in fourth place in the world for the most new cases in a single day behind the United States, Brazil and India. HUFFPOST.

Pilgrim Posted July 14, 2020 Share #1027 Posted July 14, 2020 At this point, I'm just waiting for colleges to give up on most fall sports, including football. I know they need the money, but the upsurge is just too much for a prudent person to plan fall sports.

Zed Head Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share #1028 Posted July 14, 2020 Won't be too many games in New York state. 22 states are on the quarantine list as of now. https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/covid-19-travel-advisory The travel advisory is effective at 12:01 am on Thursday, June 25, 2020. If you have traveled from within one of the designated states with significant community spread, you must quarantine when you enter New York for 14 days from the last travel within such designated state, provided on the date you enter into New York State that such state met the criteria for requiring such quarantine.

Zed Head Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share #1029 Posted July 16, 2020 This is so mind-boggling I don't think the mainstream media knows what to do with it. 20,000 cheering people sitting next to each other for 3 or 4 hours. One to two weeks from now, July-August, should be another indicator of how super-spreading events work. Really hard to wrap the brain around it. It's everything that could be wrong except be indoors. I hope it was a windy day. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/jul/16/nascar-race-crowd-tennessee-coronavirus Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/63698-covid-19/?page=86#findComment-602850 Share on other sites More sharing options...

siteunseen Posted July 16, 2020 Share #1031 Posted July 16, 2020 These backwards arse idiots in Alabama won't wear mask until 5pm this evening, Guuvner Ivey's order starts then. Like Walmart's order to take effect the 20th. The virus won't be contagious until those deadlines. Dead lines, literally at walmart. 2 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/63698-covid-19/?page=86#findComment-602853 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilgrim Posted July 16, 2020 Share #1032 Posted July 16, 2020 If there's a 2-week quarantine for people coming to the state of NY this fall, you can kiss NFL football and NCAA football from out of state teams goodbye.
