The Covid-19 Info thread (keep politics out please)

[confucius say]

Last Sunday, Mississippi reported 527 new cases. Today, Mississippi reported 381 cases. Every day this week was less than the same day last week.

Cases have dropped 13 of the last 14 days as compared to that same day the previous week. We are now averaging about 700 new cases per day. That's between 8 and 9 new cases per county per day.

Football is happening boys.. or it looks to be for now.. So i'm still around and this board won't go to sh!t. Once again. I just deleted 36 posts because all you jack@sses wanna do is talk politics..

You wanna do that. go here. https://sippolitics.com/
It's the normal subjects too. Last warning. Keep talking politics and not just reporting news about Covid.. and you can have a break until we actually kick off football... whenever that is.

Now, back to discussion of the worst pandemic , that is far from being over, in all of our lives if not american history.

[confucius say]

MS new daily cases are half of what they were 3 weeks ago. Should be the top story in the state. Celebrate! Even with a back to school bump I think we stay below where we were end of July.

It's amazing to me that the sipppolitics site is basically dead because no one posts there, but people will post about politics here.

MS reported 276 cases today. That's the lowest since July 5th. Is something going on with our testing?

100 years from now the history of this pandemic will reflect the politics of that time.

Looking at worldometer stats, just trying to get an idea of which states seem to be handling COVID well, and a few states have above average cases per million but below the median number of deaths per million (311).

Tennessee is at 19,579 per million cases (11th highest), but only 200 deaths per million, so significantly below the median.
Arkansas is at 17,643 per million cases (16th highest state, or 15th highest if you exclude DC) and only 199 deaths per million.

Those are the only two states with above the average cases per million (16,837) and below the median number of deaths per million (311) so they're either doing more comprehensive testing, or doing better at treatment, or maybe both.

Maryland, Illinois, Connecticut, and Michigan are all states that look bad, with more than 600 deaths per million but less than the average number of cases per million, and Michigan is right behind them with 590 deaths per million.

But Whitmer is the best thing this side of cuomo in covid response...

ETA... BTW, worldometers gives you tests per million in the 10th column.

Think the key will be 4 weeks from now what the numbers look like now that college kids have settled back in and aren't gonna give a damn about social distancing.

Most will never know they've had it. They aren't getting tested unless they're sick.

Here they aren't. Unfortunately, we are still having a good many positives based on early results. And worse is places like unc tested everyone who moved in on campus and has now shut down classes on campus for undergrads. That's doesn't help our chances of football. 135 news cases and they shut it down. Which is crazy to me. But whatever.

Well, that is ~.45% of their on Chapel Hill students. Not sure what percent it is of students living on campus. But the important thing is that students can spend more time socializing now that their classes are online.

Once again, it's not really about them. As you point out most of them , not all, will do fine. It's about who they spread it to.

[msstate7]

795 cases in Mississippi today on a Tuesday. Great report.

[Cooterpoot]

And who they spread it to outside of the school population doesn't effect football.
