This would be interesting as hell if it turns out to be true. I talked to an epidemiologist in April and she said that the virus was spreading so fast (at that time) that there almost had to be asymptomatic spread going on. We may have to wait several years to find out exactly how this virus is really spreading.Quote:

I guess I forgot though, it's everyone else on this board spewing propaganda.
No...pretty much everyone on both sides is spewing propaganda.Quote:

THAT was the failure. THAT is what led to where we are.
Interesting. What I posted doesn't bother you?Quote:

We are starting to see numbers that I was expecting to see throughout the summer months. Perhaps people are finally taking this virus seriously by wearing masks, socially distancing etc? The fall and winter months will tell the tale.
The huge surge in cases this summer was perplexing. I do not think anyone saw that coming.
It wasn't surprising to the health experts. Too many people being selfish and having this "I'm going to do what i want to do mentality", and not worried about others, or maybe some just weren't even keeping up with the Covid situation, it was inevitable that the numbers were going to rise or surge.Quote:

At my hospital, 60% of our ICU capacity was Covid at one point. It hovered around 50% for a month. That's completely overrun. We had to open up surge and shut down numerous surgeries. It was a bad situation this summer. Thankfully, it's calming down now.
No, completely overrun is when they have to actually use all the overflow facilities that were set up. They were never used.Quote:
