Yep.

Cases are far higher than the official number.

But somehow that does not lower the fatality rate.

Defies the rules of arithmetic.

In Georgia, more people 90 and older have died than 55 and under. More people 80 and older have died than those under 70.

Yep. And I guess old people kinda *deserve* to die, don't they?

You know, along with fat people. And diabetics. And asthmatics. I mean, they're not runners--not even young and healthy!--so they don't really *deserve* to keep living amirite?

I guess you are unaware that people in the 80s and 90s oft die?

Wait I thought it was all PCR false positives?????

Google "difference between IFR and CFR".

Texas is now above summer peaks in cases. Hospitalizations are at 9,300, which is about 1,000 less than the summer peak. Locally, El Paso looks to have plateaued and may be slowly declining. Hospitals are finally seeing some relief in El Paso, but are still at critical levels. Lubbock has also peaked. DFW is probably the worst major metro area. They have rolled back restaurant and bar capacity limits. Houston area has been on a long and slow climb in cases and hospitalizations. Hospitals are right at level 1 ICU capacity. The saving grace has been a very slow climb that has given hospitals enough time to move people out of ICU before new cases come in. Over the summer, the surge hit over the course of about a month. The current surge has been slowly building for three months. But the only benefit of the slow build is that the health care system has been able to barely keep up. Overall, the current surge will be more deadly. The summer surge killed about 14,000. The current surge has killed has already killed almost 10,000 and will probably continue well into January 2020 as the Governor has sworn off any new restrictions. It looks like there may be a plateau going into the holidays. I expect a new spike in cases after the new year. Vaccine distribution is all that is out there to help save lives in Texas.

7-day average for cases has increased 300+% since Sep28.

7-day average for deaths during same period has remained mostly steady between 20 and 29 deaths/day. Current 7-day average for deaths/day is 20.6.

373,000 deaths with 4100 yesterday, 3769 the day before, and over 3,000 already today. And you have an economy in a depression because the pandemic has made it impossible to conduct normal business. This is pretty much exactly what was predicted in the late spring, yet Americans made minimal efforts to avoid it, and had we done so, with federal help, we would have gotten through to full vaccination with a death toll 1/100th of the actual. But it's still not too late to take it seriously. Contact your state representatives if you want to save lives in the next six months. We're talking about the likelihood of another 70-90,000 deaths per month for the next few months, and a total over 600,000, equal to the Civil War.
