Well closer to 5x the people but nevertheless I feel for you all.

Oops, yes. For some reason I was thinking 700M. lol

But yeah, we still don't have this remotely under control (in some places).

We can't even figure out whose test is whose in places...lol. I'd say we are doing pretty good considering we can't get the basics of names on paper right.

We've been having single digit daily death toll, or less (zero deaths), for the last 39 consecutive days: last time we reached double digits was on July 8th.

Both "suspected cases" and "waiting for test results" don't have values (???): i checked today's situation report and it's not listed there either.

That's another nightmare (I'll leave out the source of this nightmare). We're not doing good in nearly any metric.

Yes but the UK is 8x the population density of the United States. It should be rampant in the the UK and it should have hit a wall passed the Mississippi river yet Arizona and Texas are hot beds and you have it under control.

That's another nightmare (I'll leave out the source of this nightmare). We're not doing good in nearly any metric.

besides spreading it, ignoring scientific/medical advice, and having the most facebook medical experpets without a medical degree; we are #1 in those categories.

Well, if its any consolation, in super-well managed (ahem) Netherlands, the health services can't keep track either. They only could, briefly, when almost nobody came out for a test. Now that people got scared due to recent infections nearby and from ppl on holiday, people have started testing and all of a sudden capacity wasn't there.

That's our government right there. Its all going well until somebody concludes it really wasn't. Paper realities and years of budget cuts, first apparent in Hospitals, then in nursery homes, and now with the health services for prevention. Now we're scrambling for personell that simply doesn't exist. Gl with that while infections are ramping up. Everyone you recruit takes another guy to mentor him/her, so you'll not make it even if you recruit like mad. Well done, I'm sure it was worth your wage and I'm sure the brain drain saved us lots of money.

What's next. In the meantime, we are supposed to sacrifice liberties and money/time to keep showing ourselves as responsible citizens After all, as long as the rats keep running... why not? That's reality for ya. People don't give a shit, from top to bottom. Today, word came out from Rathenau Institute that the Corona App built by Google and Apple is not fully disclosed source code and can be changed as we go along without us being able to look into its black box. Reassuring, as well as the fact it only works on newer models with recent low power Bluetooth. Our government: 'sure, great idea!'. So now a handful of new Iphone users can see if nobody nearby has it installed. Pretty cool feature for many millions spent.

Bloody idiots. Just face the fact you need to lock down regionally and yes that means a bunch of people will sit at home being healthy. Its the only way you can initiate and enforce quarantines without individually poking into people's privacy and lives. Yes, its a sacrifice. But we should make it if we want to keep our civil rights. What we need is a suitable compensation for those who sit at home and not working, together with employers, there is enough money going around to get that done and it'll be better spent than on these silly apps, masks and half-measures.

Note, this is the global Covid warn app we speak of. This applies to (royal) you, too. I'm not selling my soul to Google or Apple at any given time. Your government doesn't care though. These are surveillance systems that are put in place and never get broken down. History repeats.

Portugal's numbers have been updated:



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

- 12728 active cases --- 73 more
- 39936 recovered --- 136 more
- 1784 fatalities --- 5 more
- 35107 under watch from authorities --- 461 less
- 54448 confirmed infected --- 214 more
- 336 hospitalized --- no change
- 38 in ICU --- 1 less

- 1799226 tests taken --- no change - last updated August 12th

Regarding the numbers meaning on the right pic (for each region): top is "total cases" and "daily cases increase" and bottom is "total deaths" and "daily death increase".

Portugal's Health Site has changed the way they show results so i opted to use the situation report instead of the main site, and will do this from now on: as can be seen, i changed the stat's order to reflect the order on the situation report, adding "active cases" and removing "suspected cases" as well as "waiting for tests results", both of which no longer appear anywhere. "Tests taken" still doesn't appear on the situation report (like always) but it appears on the main site, so i updated it from there.

We've been having single digit daily death toll, or less (zero deaths), for the last 40 consecutive days: last time we reached double digits was on July 8th.

 

[Tatty_Two]

UK's 7 day fatality average is now down to 10, infection rate is up however mainly due to the fact that there are imposed lockdowns or restrictions in around 7 Northern Cities and testing centres are testing thousands of extra people as a precautionary measure to try and seek & destroy.

[Tatty_Two]

Yay! For the first time since February, the UK's 7 day rolling average for fatalities has now hit single digits and is now down to 8, that's 8 too many but it has felt like a lifetime to get there, this in a climate of localised increases in infection rates in some mainly northern areas that are being managed closely.

 

[John Naylor]

In looking at the 7 day rolling per 100k population averages in US for COVID, I got interested in other state rankings. Among the things I looked at:

a) COVID 7 day averages, highest to lowest
b) Average education levels, lowest to highest
c) Average IQ Levels, lowest to highest
d) Firearms Deaths, highest to lowest
e) Obesity rates, highest to lowest
f) Vehicle Fatalities per 100k, highest to lowest

Hard to say what it means, but the lists to a large part are strikingly similar. But in the broader sense ... many states with high 7 day COVID averages, are likely to have lower average education levels, lower IQs, higher rates of vehicular and firearms related fatalities and higher obesity rates.

Mexico 'flying blind' in pandemic response – DW – 08/18/2020

Mexico ranks third in the world in coronavirus deaths, behind only the United States and Brazil. Experts say a lack of testing, combined with an unfocused approach to tackling the pandemic, has only made things worse.

Our Lisbon an Tejo River Valley region is still the one being most hit by new daily cases, with over 50% of the country's total, but the percentage VS the rest of the country has been dropping ... slowly but steadily.

A few months ago, Portugal released a significant portion of it's prisoners from jail due to humanitarian reasons and the fact there was no way to ensure social distancing in jails due to the nature of the the various prison facilities: those that did homicides, rapes, domestic violence, as well as a few other types of crimes were left out of this measure and, even then, only those that were condemned to less than 2 years or had under 2 years left to serve were eligeable for this measure.

Of the 2031 prisoners released, 24 practiced crimes again and a further 59 failed to abide by the health confinement rules: these individuals were thus imprisoned again.

As good as we have been managing this virus crisis, and were far from perfect, we must keep our vigilance and continue to follow health guidelines for as long as necessary in the hopes we don't get what it appears both France and Spain are getting already: a 2nd wave before the seasonal flu.

It's all down to how each state counts the numbers, even districts. Confusion (such as above) helps to sow doubts, which is never good. UK numbers don't include anyone that's not had a test (I believe). Initially, you had to be in hopsital, with a test (or symptoms of covid) to be considered. We've also adjusted death count downwards (41000) to account for other cause of death (death within 28 days linked to posiitive test). Still highest in Europe though. More than double the annual flu rate of (average) 17000.

Yeah counting is tricky. One reason for the high mortality rate in Sweden can be because we apparently have counted any dead with covid19 as a covid19-caused death, which is less than accurate.

Even though our daily deaths are low when compared to other countries, they still add up and we've just crossed 1.8K deaths today because of it.

Was missing the "confirmed infected" in my updates since last Saturday and only just noticed ...

 

[dragontamer5788]

And a "0" change in hospitalizations reported today, which more or less coincides with this plateau we seem to have here in Maryland.

%Positive is below 3.3%, Confirmed Cases/day has been in and around 600. However, school will be starting soon, and while public schools are closed for the first month, private schools are expected to be open around here.

It will not end. Even with a vaccine it will likely remain present among us. Like the flu, except with different symptoms. What we will gain over time is better ways to treat, avoid permanent damage, etc. And a vaccine will likely bring some form of base resistance, and likely temporary immunity.

Another thing we will gain over time is knowing our way around organizing society so that it doesn't catch us by surprise. That will probably be the path to truly removing the measures and restrictions in place now. Many countries are already moving towards a regional approach, or very localized one.

Its not the best sort of news, but that is my realistic view of all this at this point in time. No use hiding from it.
