That’s the spirit. We’re better at beating this thing. Whatcha got.I've been trash talking for a month now.
But seriously, as long as we aren't bashing other states too hard, I love the idea. New York and New Jersey better pick up their games, or Connecticut is gonna add them to the quarantine list.
Your numbers look pretty good. The only state in the 900K range is Delaware. They have 2700+ more cases and 42 more deaths.
The controversy surrounding it was based off a couple of sound bites. It was being prescribed and over prescribed by doctors before then, and it has been used around the world. I still don’t know if it works or not, but with better news coming out now, it’s clear this controversy was overblown.
Incorrect. In the medical community, the controversy was based on using a drug with unclear benefit and potential for harm without appropriately designed clinical trials. While it was/is used desperately as a therapeutic Hail Mary, we still don’t have definitive data to support its use.
Hopefully, we continue to quarantine all you continentals. Even CT doesn’t make the cut, nor should it.I've been trash talking for a month now.

Oh, it's game on now!
Remember that like 97% of Hawaii is covered with beaches, volcanoes or lava flows though. I would wager that their population density on habitable land is much higher.Oh, it's game on now!
CT is 75% as big as HI, but HI has only 39% of the population - and you thought you guys were packed like sardines
CT has tested 13.96% of it citizens, HI lags far behind at 6.94% - wanna borrow some q-tips?
CT's positivity yesterday was 0.68%, while HI nearly doubled that at 1.20% - it's like HI has become a hotspot
You're up!
I was just typing my reply, to remind Winz about island geography. Oahu has the highest population of the islands by far, with a density of 1631 people per square km (CT is 285). But that doesn’t tell the whole story, as the habitable land is really limited to coastal areas as you mention.
See my other post regarding population density. While I’d love to do more testing, we’ve had low positivity throughout the pandemic. Even if we doubled our tests, there’s no way we’d approach your cases and deaths per 100,000 population. And I’m willing to bet that difference remains a year or so from now when we finally get a vaccine.Oh, it's game on now!

This makes me wonder what all the scientologists think about the virus.... guess that views it as clearing the planet?
Foregoing family gathering. Meeting another couple we know have been disciplined. I am making pulled pork to share. We are bringing our own sides, paper plates, sides, beers, lawn chairs. Will all be in a back yard at distance. My god Americans are so soft.
The idea is fine. Unfortunately it would require the American people to execute it. We are the issue, not you idea.
It would also require someone to identify, convince, cajole and unite people into accepting this common goal. How else does this common goal actually become "common". On my more optimistic days, I think folks can actually see it, care about others, even those they don't know and are willing to work towards a common good. Recently I haven't had many optimistic days.
Yeah, we just need to learn from other states if they seem to be doing well, and even then, we don't know that they'll keep doing well. Spiking the football has turned out to be silly at nearly every turn. We can all pretend to have the answers everywhere else in life, but this time it's particularly foolish.
It didn't have to be. People refusing to do the right thing put us in this position where it is now ten times harder than it needed to be. America is self-centered, arrogant and soft. And we are paying the price for all of that now.
Harvard-scientists: Florida should shut down
I’m pretty sure that in several languages Florida directly translates to ‘utter **** show’.
Interesting - thanks. SE getting lit up, but WTF is going on in Northern IA/Southern Minn?
My boss went to Clearwater this week. Not to excited about him being back in the office on Monday.
In the last two months, central florida has had 99% and 97% losses in tourist dollars/taxes from the same months last year. I am confident the people here, getting sick, are primarily people who live here.
###### guys, this isn't hard to do! Stop going out unless you absolutely have to! This is why we have the reputation that we have!
Right, so 190,000 is obviously the total, not the number of new cases Saturday as stated in that article.
The eastern panhandle (closest to DC) is driving the state totals, however the governor refuses to act in a regional manner and instead factor in the entire state’s numbers in total to drive decisions. 3,000 positives with a population of 1.8 million sounds way better than 2500 positives in a population of 200,000.
Small state so likely low bed totals but those numbers aren't crippling by any stretch. Lifespan owns RIH (biggest in the state, located in downtown Providence), Miriam Hospital (also in PVD), and Newport Hospital. Their website lists 16 ICU beds at Miriam, 8 in Newport, and doesn't specify the number for RIH which is more than twice the size of Miriam & Newport combined. I'd wager those bed totals were pre-ramp-up and have been expanded but I'm not sure if/when that site was last updated so that's just my guess. That doesn't include capacity for other hospitals not in their network, and there are quite a few more. Kent Hospital and OLF each have a larger "staffed bed" total than Miriam according to this chart on the AHD site.
I looked back at the study. Something is wrong with the table comparing demographics versus treatment. You're correct that the median age is 54 vs. 71 for HCQ alone vs. no treatment. But the interquartile range is mathematically impossible for the HCQ group, as it lists the 25th percentile as greater than both the mean and median. So there's a typo somewhere. But the breakdown of age < 65 is skewed younger for HCQ (51 vs. 38% for no treatment), so the group receiving meds is indeed younger on average. I also don't understand the p < 0.001 in the age breakdown column; generally you want that difference to be nonsignificant (p > .05) to show the groups are statistically similar. This problem is also seen with other listed variables which should not differ between groups. Lastly, the hospital length of stay is much lower for the untreated vs. HCQ groups (median 4 vs. 6 days), which doesn't make a lot of sense unless the former were dying off early in hospitalization (possible, but not usually how this disease works) - I see the the HQ group has more ICU and ventilator days, so maybe the older patients not receiving HCQ were quickly transitioned to comfort care, while full court press was attempted for the younger peeps on HCQ? In theory, the propensity score matched patients should have taken care of most of these confounders, but there sure seems like a lot of inconsistencies in the data they've provided.

As sad as it is to read that, thanks for sharing. Anyone who has watched this over the last few months knows an increase in deaths is obviously coming. I hate that it some states are going to wait until the rapid death increase arrives to do anything.
They track cases by non residents. It's not a substantial number where I followed it (South Walton Beach).shader said:
His stay was almost exactly 24 hours... the bill was $78,782.26.
