NoirThe day of game 7 NBA Finals in 2016, when Cleveland made the comeback, I drove from the valley where it was 115(!) degrees 30 minutes to Santa Monica and it was 85. The weather is insane here.
yeah it is pretty crazy, I remember reading about San Fran and all of the microclimates within the city.
Apr 30, 2020·1 replyNoirWay too many factors to accurately predict what the summer is going to look like. Weather, slight viral mutations, available treatments, proliferation in nursing homes, etc all play a role.
If we really want to curb death totals without outright lying about them, contact tracing and constant testing in nursing homes should be the priority. If we're rolling with remdesivir or some other treatment, make sure batches are reserved for these communities. I've heard they can make up as much as half the deaths in some areas.
What about the fall?
What areas are making up the deaths? Sounds like you are reading some BS FB posts
Remdesivir trials are a joke. So it helps by a 3.5%? Small ass sample. Mortality rate in the control group was 11.5% vs 8% in treatment group (incredibly high mortality rates anyways in those trials).
Phase 3 trials coming with no control group...joke

It's widespread information at this point:

Evidence for 6 states: kff.org/medicaid/issue-brief/state-reporting-of-cases-and-deaths-due-to-covid-19-in-long-term-care-facilitiesRemdesivir should not be being used solely on the critically ill, because its strength lies in limiting cell replication. Unfortunately, the critically ill are the most likely to be available for such studies. You'll see better results when expanded to those hospitalized with milder cases.
Tocilizumab is showing better results with the critically ill because of its role in stopping cytokine storms:

On March 27, as emergency rooms in New York and across the country began filling with coronavirus patients struggling to breathe, President Donald Trump posted on Twitter to urge Ford and General Motors to “START MAKING VENTILATORS, NOW!”
One of the thousands of replies that the tweet attracted struck an equally urgent tone: “We can supply ICU Ventilators, invasive and noninvasive. Have someone call me URGENT.”
Its author was Yaron Oren-Pines, an electrical engineer in Silicon Valley. A specialist in mobile phone technology, he currently has just 75 followers on Twitter and no apparent experience in government contracting or medical devices.
But three days later, New York state paid Oren-Pines $69.1 million. The payment was for 1,450 ventilators — at an astonishing $47,656 per ventilator, at least triple the standard retail price of high-end models. ”Authoritarian regimes might not be that bad

And it's not just the virus directly causing this:
There is a ripple effect from the overcrowding of hospitals, as well as shelter in place orders causing people to stay home and not receive treatment/diagnoses as needed. A majority of that figure is made up of unreported COVID-19 deaths, but let's not forget that the two leading causes of death for decades - cancer and heart disease - haven't gone anywhere.

That's what I've been saying all along since weeks. Almost nobody understands this.

That's what I've been saying all along since weeks. Almost nobody understands this.
"Urgent referrals by GPs for cancer tests have fallen by 76% and appointments for chemotherapy by 60% since the pandemic arrived in February despite NHS England insisting cancer treatment “should continue unaffected”. The health service hopes to resume cancer operations this week but faces a large backlog."
This is serious stuff. People are dying at home and it's irresponsible to pass them off as unreported coronavirus fatalities, because there's a bigger issue here. All those patients with cancer and heart disease can't put their sickness on hold just because they're not being treated.
