Portugal's numbers have been updated:



On the left, yesterday's numbers and on the right, today's numbers (click for full picture):

- 28810 confirmed infected --- 227 more
- 3822 recovered --- 494 more
- 1203 fatalities --- 13 more
- 292249 suspected cases --- 2940 more
- 600061 tests taken --- no change
- 2940 waiting for test results --- 218 more
- 25419 under watch from authorities --- 373 less

The biggest news of the day in the substantial increase in recovered. Hospitalized continues it's dropping tendency but ICU rose again, slightly.

^^ Food is essential but mass industrialised processes to procure cheaper meat are far from sanitary or ethical. It all comes down to that 1st world problem of entitlement where the consumer demands a cut of meat for less and less. There's only one way to fill that demand - make giblets as though you're producing bottle tops. And those factories need a lot of low-paid workers to work the lines. Low paid often equals poorer, often equals worse health - which is a prelude to a Covid19 party.

Our modern world has made things too cheap to maintain with little regard for consequence.

I'm a meat-eater btw - this isn't a vegan spin, just a critique of modern industrialised food processing. Nuka Cola anyone?

QFT... yet another conversation we are not having at large... we only get hardliners saying don't ever do again or go all the way and BBQ every day Strangely familiar to other topics.

The main thing IMO, is illegal immigrants who are too afraid to enter the healthcare system, out of fear for deportation.

To be honest, that extends throughout agriculture or the entire food supply. Might be a good a idea for to put that into a prepared checklist next time.

As far as "consume less meat". I can agree with that. But even if I cut my own meat consumption to nil, it won't change those factories. Too many of my neighbors will continue to eat meat. I do try to have more veggies than others, and meat is something I do my best to never waste. An animal died so that I could have the meat after all, the least I could do is ensure I eat all of it.

My sentiments exactly. There is no wasted meat in this house. Any accidents are cleaned up by the dogs.

The main thing IMO, is illegal immigrants who are too afraid to enter the healthcare system, out of fear for deportation. The Obama administration made hospitals a "safe space", and commanded ICE agents that capturing immigrants from hospitals was unacceptable. Trump has reversed the policy. And under this administration, illegal immigrants (many of whom work at these food processing plants, being exploited for cheap labor) are now too afraid to enter a hospital and get tested for COVID19.

That's a recipe for disaster.

Portugal's numbers have been updated:



On the left, yesterday's numbers and on the right, today's numbers (click for full picture):

- 29036 confirmed infected --- 226 more
- 4636 recovered --- 814 more
- 1218 fatalities --- 15 more
- 294009 suspected cases --- 1760 more
- 618066 tests taken --- 18005 more
- 2704 waiting for test results --- 236 less
- 25640 under watch from authorities --- 221 more
- 649 hospitalized --- 8 less
- 108 in ICU --- 7 less

Recovered jumped again: by over 20% this time.

Hospitalizations dropped again, slightly, and is now just shy of half it's highest point ever. ICU number also dropped but daily fatalities increased again.

Maryland update.

Tests have skyrocketed to 7000 tests/day, and the number of confirmed cases has skyrocketed with the testing. Hospitalization numbers slowly decline, including ICU-beds. Deaths and probable deaths seem to be decreasing.

It has only been a few days since the moving to "safer at home advisory". A large number of people remain furloughed and pseudo-locked down. We'll see if the reopening was gradual enough to stave off a rebound in a few weeks.

Usual Tuesday weekly update on total deaths (highest 5)


USA - 93,035 -- 12% up (was 18.5%)
UK - 35,341 -- 8% up (was13.7%) -- about time, frankly.
Italy - 32,169 -- 4% up (was 6.3%)
France - 26,991 -- 4% up (was 6.7%)
Spain - 26,920 -- 3% up (was 5%)

Remember Brazil?

Brazil - 17,509 -- 45% up

Deaths are the crack of the whip, so with the top 5 above all reducing significantly, that has very good bearing on live cases. And Brazil's numbers show the retarded outcomes when you take no action at government level at all. I believe regional lockdown's are happening but not mandated by Bolsinaro. Tragically, it is creeping closer to native populations.

I read an article that cartels are actually instituting and enforcing lockdowns in their turf. I imagine they don't want to lose their customers who may not be the healthiest. Anyways, the article goes on to state that locals are now looking for leadership from the cartels and gaining favor from the people over the gov. Interesting....

Russia in terms of infection were almost untouched until April, it's almost a vertical line since then and currently nearing 300,000 infected, death toll if accurate is relatively low but I am thinking that if that line continues to soar on that upward trend it can only bode badly, hopefully I am wrong.

Louisiana numbers for May 20th (I guess I'm posting weekly updates now, since we are on the downward trend):

I have BOLDed last week's numbers for comparison with the graphic.

35,316 cases (32,662 on May 13th) **Today there were only 278 new cases in the whole state, with only 48 in the former raging hotspot of New Orleans.
2,485 deaths (2,315 May 13th)
931 hospitalized (1,194 on May 13th) **Notable that the number hospitalized has finally fallen below 1,000
110 on ventilators (147 on May 13th)
285,970 tests have been conducted (237,904 on May 6th) -in a population of 4.6 million

26,249 Presumed recovered (22,608 on May 13th)

Not done the UK update for a while, was getting too frustrated with it all but here goes as of today 20th May...………...

In the last 10 days or so daily infections have reduced by almost 70%, testing is going up significantly and has tripled since late April, fatalities still fluctuate but as can be seen, are reduced considerably..... we are certainly not there yet, still in Phase 1 of Lockdown easing, this was very much small steps apart from 2-3 million people going back to work from the Construction and Manufacturing sectors.

Was without NET since early Sunday so i was unable to update until now: NOTE that all numbers are 6 days worth of updates, which is why there's such an abnormal rise / fall VS daily numbers.

You're right. Bars and several other categories show Alabama has the highest rise in traffic in the South.

They're poised to lose a few 100k over there, unfortunately... I reckon the response is similar to Brazil, with lots of local aid and very slow and inconsistent gov. response. There are going to be lots of uncounted deaths, too. Culture is also not light on smoking and drinking. One big advantage they do have is distance. It is likely to concentrate in large cities. That also probably means it will cap out at some point.

Russia I think has high testing rate per capita which is why they're detecting lots of infected but also seeing low mortality.

Here we show the share of reported tests returning a positive result – known as the positive rate.

ourworldindata.org

1.03/1000 in Russia compared to 0.67/1000 in USA

According to worldometer, Russia is currently #23 in the world, with 57563 tests per 1M people.

Compare that to Brazil that have a similar number of cases but with 3462 tests per 1M people, making it #122 in the world ...

As for the death rate, Germany also "started slow" and is now @ 8352 deaths: Russia's death toll will climb steeply: more so if their hospitals @ any point are overwhelmed. Not to mention we don't yet know if they are counting the deaths outside hospitals like in retirement homes which, as we know, seriously inflate the total death numbers.

That chart i made with infected cases in 13 countries, including Russia? Here's how it looks now, updated to May 22nd:



Though Russia still edges out Brazil in number of cases, Brazil is definitely the worst of the two.

Looking at the steep rise, and with Bolsinaro's hard-man attitude, I can see the Brazil death rate exceeding the EU numbers in a week or two. Of note, and OT, the Environment Minister is on tape suggesting that coronavirus was a good opportunity - with the press looking the other way - to simplify regulations in the Amazon. Absolute creeps.

I'd say less than a week to surpass 30K deaths and 10 to 11 days to surpass UK's: Brazil's death toll numbers are on a rising trend while most of Europe's are in a lowering trend.

The GREAT news is that recovered more than DOUBLED today.

The not so great news is that our drug regulation entity (INFARMED) has prohibited some COVID-19 test kits created in Portugal that are and have already been used because there have been some irregularities discovered and it's now under investigation ...

EDIT

Turns out INFARMED's issue was bureaucratic in nature rather than something physically wrong with the test kits: was worried there were some false positive / negative cases reported due to this problem but that's not the case.

Everything points to the same thing - while this virus is around in any community, close proximity in enclosed spaces is like igniting coal dust. I've got no fears about being outside, or in well-spaced indoors areas but things like planes, trains and such......

 

[Space Lynx]

I think we will achieve herd immunity by end of summer even without a vaccine, I am still not convinced me and many others I know didn't already have this in December and January seeing as how it spreads like wildfire. No one is giving out accurate anitbody tests yet, so there is really no way of knowing. But seeing as how vast vast majority of people are asymptomatic or light symptoms, and a new study out of Singapore today confirmed South Korea that at about 11 days after no symptoms even if covid 19 did return in a patient it was not spreadable, which indicates antibodies.

So the question is pretty straight forward. When will get a antibody test that is very accurate? I think that test should be equally as important as a vaccine, if you already have the antibodies you don't need a vaccine, unless I am not understanding vaccines correctly.
