I’m gonna disagree with that. That is the kind of visual that the mass media wants to show us. Everything getting bigger and scarier. I’m focused on one thing, “How many people died last week”? If the number of dead are fewer and fewer, that means whatever we’re doing is working.
Also, This virus, naturally overtime, has gotten weaker due to evolution. Strong viral strains that kill their victims too quickly, don’t get transmitted.
Finally, doctors are getting better at treating this disease.
It only makes sense that death numbers are going to fall week after week.
I don't know why you'd disagree. That graph shows it losing strength and prevalence.
It shows, since mid-late April, hospitalizations are falling and continue to fall. And it shows a "new case" flatline, despite testing exponentially more.
If we had an honest media, they'd celebrate that this virus is showing a decline in severity and prevalence (when new cases fail to correlate in any way with the testing increases).
OK I zoomed in close enough to see that the green hospitalized line was going down but the daily numbers are too much information, too much detail in there for dummies like me. I’m not gonna take much away from a chart like that.
That’s why I did that week by week analysis to smooth out daily fluctuations and give you a few numbers to look at. The nine week in a row falling death rate trend in blue is very clear to most people, I hope.
In the end, The only number that matters is how many people die from this thing.
We need to stay on top of data and facts, because the media is winning the war with feelings.
Nobody is dying from it. You and I both know this. The median age of mortality is 81. The average life expectancy in the United States is 76m/78f. The ones it is claiming were beyond their day and while it's sad, it's a fact of life.
We are testing and testing and testing, and no matter how many tests we perform, the numbers are all going down.
The only number they have left is "new cases". It's a number that will always be a positive integer, so it doesn't matter what that number is, it's always going to serve their feelings.
We need graphs like this to demonstrate hospitals are being emptied, testing is on every street corner, and they're squeezing every last drop out of testing for as long as they can.
Just watch, the next step is mandatory testing to return to work. Gotta pump the numbers again because we're approaching saturation of all willing participation. Need to make it obligatory!
Here's a nice visual to go along with the numbers.
