Off topic but I find that last chart racist defining white/ black as a race or ethnicity.

It can be clearly seen that, despite those aged 20 - 39 being the ones with the most infected cases, they are "little to not affected" in terms of fatalities: this gives a false sense of "security" to those in that age bracket that get the virus, so they tend to act like "it's no big deal" when in fact they tend to ignore that they may well infect others before being cured, starting with family members which, depending on their age, may not be "as immune" as them.

Sad but true!

Yup, that was as off topic as it was wrong.

They know that though, just many don't care. The last 24 hours in the UK saw 150 further fatalities and 16,171 further infections.

One of my daughters falls into the ignorant or just don`t care category. She complains she has had to cancel a couple of holidays and can`t spend more time in the pub.

I can understand it to a certain extent, I have had to cancel 3 holidays, one to Mexico, the upside to that was that we were paying for the whole family (6) to go for a 2 week all inclusive to celebrate my and my wife's 60th........ at least I am nearly £7k better off for it! Where you are it may be that there will be no time to spend in the pub soon although I am sure there will be plenty more of us to follow before the Winter is done.

She has already been on 3 holidays so far this year. She is a bigger risk than my youngest grandson and he is in classroom with 29 other kids.

Here's Portugal's updated numbers this week:



The above pics are, in order, last day updated numbers and every day since then until today's numbers (click for full picture), and the below numbers are current totals, week totals and daily averaged this week:

- 38730 active cases --- 7333 more --- 1047.6 more per day
- 59000 recovered --- 5813 more --- 830.4 more per day
- 2181 fatalities --- 101 more --- 14.4 more per day
- 99911 confirmed infected --- 13247 more --- 1892.4 more per day

- 2997046 tests taken --- 205617 more --- 25702.1 more per day but was last updated October 16th
- 54851 under watch --- 6438 more --- 919.7 more per day
- 1086 hospitalized --- 243 more --- 34.7 more per day
- 155 in ICU --- 31 more --- 4.4 more per day

Our new infected cases rose even more significantly VS last week with over 76%: nearly 1900 new daily cases per day. Also had a significant increase in hospitalized, with nearly 29% VS last week. Last but not least, last Friday we had our daily highest death toll since May 4th, with 21 fatalities.

As can be seen by our daily cases' history (click for full picture), our daily case numbers have been rising since just before mid September but they have skyrocketed this month, like in many other European countries:



In Portugal, those working in hospitals that have NOT caught this virus have mostly been without breaks in their work hours and, in many cases, have actually accumulated a ridiculous amount of overtime because, simply put, their hospitals / health centers wouldn't be able to properly function otherwise. But the flu season is yet to begin so it's highly likely it will only get worse and those that work in hospital / health centers are getting drained, both physically as well as mentally.

Seriously NOT good @ ALL

It really is sad to me how many young people especially at the college level, seem to have 0 disregard for the elderly and vulnerable, and unable to understand the context of the situation. Such as when Elon Musk or Joe Rogan just says hey old people stay home, hey vulnerable people stay home. Well, a lot of old people even well in to their 70's like my Dad, still have to work daily just to get by. Sure a mask helps a lot, but this virus sheds itself like no ones business, and can last up 20 hours on some surfaces, so when these reckless young people are asymptomatic and still shedding through their spittle when they talk, or before they put a mask on in their car, they have already had a lot of shedding in that car, so they touch stuff in grocery store, money exchange if no card, so many variables basically no one human can understand them all.

That is the ultimate point I suppose, it is the hubris of young people, I don't hate them for it, I was once a young man of 20 and felt invincible like I could take on the world, then at 21 I was in a car wreck no one else was hurt, but I destroyed my car and should have died. Ever since that day I learned I am not invincible and I have become very humble in life. Most people don't have near death experiences though, and so their hubris and lack of understanding continues.

I have read a few stories about a grand kid going to a party then going to visit their grandparents and one of them ends up dying from Covid. It's really sad. But again since it is so rare, the hubris still remains intact for the majority of the young people. That being said, I am slightly on the autism spectrum, not that much but some, so I have never had any friends to go to pub with, or go party with, in-fact all 6 years of my university career I never went to a single party. I would have liked to, but my peer group does not care about people like me and is not willing to understand that I just need a little extra help sometimes socially. But since I am not normal, I am automatically cast aside, as are the vulnerable and elderly. You would think University would produce more thoughtful individuals wouldn't you?

I remember reading a book, I forget which Pope said it, but it was like around 1000 years ago or so, one of the Pope's said University has become nothing but a place for young people to engage in drunkenness' and idleness, and I remember after reading that how funny I found it to be. Not much has changed in the year 2020.

I`m not too happy with her myself. I have End Stage Emphysema so I`m fully aware of the risk she is to myself and others. I haven`t left my home since March because of the risk. The only way she will learn is if she gets fined or catches covid herself. She thinks going to the pub is `safe` because everyone sits at tables now, which is just so wrong but she thinks she knows better than anyone else. She went to university so that probably explains it. My other two daughters are following the rules I`m pleased to say though.

Looks like "wave 2" is hitting Europe now. All waves crest up, but eventually recede. This too shall pass.

So far none of it passed. Somebody said something about a Hammer and a Dance but all we really did was swing a hammer once and then forgot about dancing... so now we're looking at a baseline and wave 2 is coming right on top of it.

Meanwhile there are more instances of people getting it a second time within several months. Looks like a seasonal virus much like a common cold, can easily get it several times per year - if exposed to a high enough concentration. That also means vaccines will be of limited use. But... let's hope this turns out more positive than that, data on it is minimal.

I think I can safely say that Maryland is climbing upwards, despite our steady %Positive and #Confirmed Cases numbers.

Hospitalization is clearly on the upwards trend.

Seems like a case of one set of people not knowing what they're talking about, blowing things out of proportion and making problems where there are none.

I hope by March ,when i go back to work , this is over and in my rear view mirror.

Its called the second wave that is currently washing over Europe already. As in March, it will hit you guys a bit later. It all falls into place soon buddy. We've been here before. 221k dead and counting... All the stars have aligned again to repeat the whole episode, see? Including lots of non-discussion about what numbers are accurate and what is not. The facts don't lie though, cases and positive test % are going up, and globablly the net number of infections is still hitting new records since the whole thing began. Its still growing even if we manage to push curves down temporarily.

Here is a graph, look how close and rapidly we are approaching the first wave numbers already. The curve seems a bit less aggressive though, we've learned a thing or two about when to hospitalize. These are IC numbers of new patients per day/week in the Netherlands.

I think you can consider Texas to be on the 17/09 moment in time, just about, comparatively.

Here in Portugal, we've already crossed the highest hospitalized number from March but are still roughly 3/5 of the way regarding ICU numbers:

The highest ICU number we had in April was 271 and we've now reached 200. Hospitalized number is rising WAY too fast, with 1365 (VS 1302, back in April): doesn't look good

I disagree. The numbers shown do not bare that out. I call it a misinterpretation of known data.

Denmark is also again begin to see more infected. Leter today, Danish Goverment will present new restrictions for the first time since late september where the first restriction was set in.

This week infected numbers has gone from bad to worse.
Just the last 3 days.
has been 689, 760 and today 859 infected and the higest we have ever reccorded until now. Right now we have 125 in hospital and just under 700 dead.
But there are no douts, just as many other countries. The Seconds wave of Covid-19 has hit Denmark... sadly. Just as i had found a new job, now i might lose it again. Dam Virus.
