I don't know the actual numbers but I did see Texas set a record for COVID hospital cases yesterday. Mask wearing is THE key till we get a vaccine. That is becoming more and more apparent.

Because it's reasonably likely that we are seeing fewer cases than we otherwise would because it's summer, and as we enter flu and cold season where weather and/or behavior is more conducive to the spread of respiratory viruses, we could see a wave if there is still a large population susceptible to infection (which there presumably will be based on the current rate, unless we find out that a lot of people have cross immunity from other corona viruses).
Historically, other Coronavirus strains are seasonal.
Which is bad news that we are seeing the increase in cases NOW. If that is true, December to February will be very, very bad....
If only there was some inexpensive, can be made at home device that slowed the person to person transmission to a very low rate....***
This one has really shown no sign of being seasonal. There was maybe some sign early on but I think that is beginning to look suspect. Now there is no doubt it will be worse when people start congregating inside again in large numbers. That will just be a function of proximity. The hard truth is probably not what most think now. Most seem to think since things are opening back up this is nearly over. The reality is we are probability just getting started.
Remember the A and O type blood discussion...

I would think this coronavirus looks seasonal also. We seem to have more or less leveled off nationwide even after mostly opening up and having pretty large demonstrations with people packed pretty close together although granted outside. Unless there are a lot of people with immunity that we don't know about, it seems likely that the number of new infections holding steady is probably at least in part due to seasonality. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...-us-cases.html
Not a doctor but I read somewhere that a lot of what causes the disease to become critical in someone was severe blood clotting and organ damage from that. If that is the case, that might explain why type O is better blood type to have, since they're free bleeders. Hemophiliacs are mostly if not entirely type O. I'm type O and it takes me about 5 to 10 mins to give blood. Just pours out of me.
BTW ... I had antibody test and came back negative. But then health professionals at hospitals where I live (and I kinda trust them) say the antibody tests so far are pretty unreliable. I have kinda felt that way about the regular tests too ... since percentage of positives vs total tests is so low.
Don't know what I had in Feb but it shore had almost identical symptoms to Covid.
13 longhorns test positive

These kids will be fine, so I'm certainly not freaking out over this. I do think stories like this are really starting to put CFB this fall in jeopardy. States of Texas, Florida, Alabama, California, Arizona, and NC are experiencing large case numbers right now. We need this to calm down significantly imo if we wanna see football
I'm getting worried too. I don't see the purpose in testing asymptomatic players. I really don't. The high schools in MS are taking temps when they get to the field. As long as they don't have a fever or any symptoms, they practice. You know several of them have the virus.
Not too concerned about in shape young athletes cause I think it'd be a fluke for them to develop severe symptoms most likely. But I am concerned about Leach and his staff, especially Leach. Knock on wood but I wanna keep him for a while.
I agree with you tho, I think CFB might be in jeopardy too.
Brazil with over 50k cases today. That's more than we've had in 1 day. According to worldometers, they've had 1.039 million cases and given only 2.334 million tests. Wow, we have 2.297 million cases, but given 27.333 million tests.
So, who to believe? The State of Mississippi or the CDC? Per the CDC as of June 19th, Mississippi has had 787 Covid-19 deaths. Per the MSDH website, Mississippi has had 938 Covid-19 deaths 3 days earlier on June 16th.
