Well, it will be interesting to see if the numbers, particularly hospitalizations and deaths spike or don’t spike in the coming 2-4 weeks. Numbers don’t care about politics, right or left…..let’s see what we can learn.
We’ve already learned that these lockdowns are not working…the increase in hospitalizations/ICU are not all Covid patients..death rates are not spiking…numbers don’t lie. Here’s an interesting read by Jay Battacharya, professor of Medicine at Stanford University:

I would expect the Cases/100K to drop a little as big days with positive case drop off the 7 Day Average
Tomorrow’s count will include the 316 cases from 11/23. That is the largest number of cases in one day since all of this began. Of course, the increase reported for the next few days may be the result of the pre-Thanksgiving demand for testing from people getting ready to travel for the holiday. Still, there’s little reason not to believe that cases will continue rising well into January.
I wonder how valid this article is

That article was an interesting read.
I found this one as well which challenges the article.

Another take on it is here

I am no scientist, but it does make some sense the way it is presented.
This is the bottom line.
Deaths – 261, last death was on Nov.16 – (nobody under 30 years old) (133 deaths in nursing homes)
Positive test results still represents about 2% of the population of CCC, active cases seem to consistently be about 10% of positive cases, which is about 0.2% of the population. The impact from the shut down has broader impact, negatively, than the virus.
And how many people committed suicide, lost a business, didn’t get medical attention for other ailments, avoided cancer screening, increased their drug and alcohol use…
It is very narrow minded to manage this or any issue by focusing on one aspect. Follow the science: medical, social, political and economic science all count.
Happy Birthday Novel Coronavirus. The first case of COVID-19 was on December 1, 2019 in China which is a day ahead of us. At the time they only knew they had no idea what it was though by the end of the month they knew it was a coronavirus and so it was known as the Novel (new) Coronavirus for a couple of months. On January 30, 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Novel Coronavirus a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. The WHO named the virus SARS-CoV-2 and the disease COVID-19 on February 11, 2020 and exactly a month later on March 11th it was declared a global pandemic. The bay area lockdown started March 17th which seems like a long time ago.
Don’t see much of a surge in CoCoCounty. Perhaps the Health Department should go back to invading restaurants and looking for cockroaches.
Experts finally admit they were wrong from the beginning …..Let the kids go to school
