The Truth About Corona Virus

Mlive.com ...it's just the website compilation of all the state's newspapers. Each day they have an update, usually with multiple graphs...new cases, running 7 day average of new cases, new deaths, total cases, deaths, and recoveries, and a map with total cases and deaths for each county. Occasionally they include other demographics like age, gender, and race breakdowns. And if there are external reasons for spikes in either direction, they report those too...like new testing availability, or backlogged totals coming through.
Nothing special, just regular news.

Resurgence in all states that have reopened

Fwiw there is an updated graph on the Michigan.gov site, but only for new cases.
!I get my data from LA Times for CA, I found New York Times has all the states:

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/202 ... cases.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

California after four days straight daily death count plummeting, yesterday was the biggest Spike ever. Shit.

USA back up to the average of 1500 deaths a today.
For perspective normal average daily death rate in the USA is between 5000 -7000. ( depending who's data you use )
Covid-19 has now become the leading cause of death in the US in April.

If I'm remembering correctly, Fauci had advised 2 weeks of declining numbers to flatten the curve, which was the goal of the quarantine. Did I miss something?...has the goal post been moved?

Not sure I know the White House rejected CDC guidelines as two lengthy which CDC submitted with postcard guidelines. Don't know what's official or what's in them? Afraid to look

I've just been paying attention to the West Coast coalition guidelines, still going with the two weeks CDC decline.

Michigan has a good two weeks of decline on the top. Right?

Silver Lining if there is one that this really has been up to the will/action of people. Almost restored my faith in rational humanity.

The 2 weeks is derived from:
7 days periods are used to filter out fluctuations. n=7
Mathematically to ensure a statistical trend you need to show it is true for n and is also true for (n+1).
Hence 2 week period.

They have also made provision
For small counties
Not getting burned
By one or two cases

Yeaaay...just in time for the holiday weekend, we are now allowed to congregate in groups no larger than 10. And retail businesses can open...by appointment only. But barbers...fuk you, those types of businesses remain banned. Barbers and salon folks had a protest at the capitol yesterday, providing free haircuts...so the state police cited all the folks giving the free haircuts...“disorderly conduct”. So much for that silly 'free speech' thing.

Insisting on free 'speech' now
Is just an excuse to assault you fellow citizens...

Cite?

They got off lucky

Assholes...

That...is merely an opinion...as ignorant as it may be.

The constitution specifically provides for the right of free speech...especially for protesting the government.
Care to point out where it guarantees personal safety?
The governor has already conceded that the protests are a constitutional right...yet she sent her state militia out to fine those folks for exercising that right...after a judge has ruled that she does not have the authority to displace those workers.

Whether you agree with those facts or not, is immaterial.
