I think statistically, that is likely.  It may not turn up as fast as confirmed cases though, I hope.

I'd guess it is very possible some locales will overload their hospitals soon.

I don't expect it to turn up on the exponential again like it did back in March. 

I'm just seeing it accelerate in the "bad states", stall in the "good states" and with slight upticks in those states in between.

I'm convinced this is the week we're going to see the trend in daily deaths turn upward nationally.
you sound like me in reverse

They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

The correlation would be difficult, if not impossible, to make. When I went to the hospital for my AB test, I asked about the stays and such. When I was there, "Here Comes the Sun" was played twice over the PA system, throughout the hospital. They play that song when people with the virus are discharged.

The attendant said one of the people was in for almost 2 months, and the other less than 2 weeks.

The point is that there ARE people in the hospital who have been there for months, and could pass today.

Longhorn is right on the money of course. 

This is my new favorite sentence on the internet.

The county I live in just passed mandatory mask wearing in public. From what I’ve understood the meeting with the council members and the public was quite contentious, with almost everybody in attendance being against it yet the council voted for unanimously.

There are a lot of common sense exceptions to it like when your social distancing outside and exercising etc.

I guess several of the council members were vehemently opposed to it but when they took the misdemeanor off the table and just made it civil fines they all got on board


I actually applaud it even though it really isn’t going to change much because it seems to me that just about everybody is already wearing masks all the time anyway.

The positive rate in this county is very very high and growing even though the total number of cases is fairly minuscule.

We need to do this:  2 posters here, rotating on a weekly college football show.  Cutting to commercial every time they (we) go from arguing to physically fighting...it would be GOLD.  You guys could have an SEC chant button play whenever, I'd wear my orange afro wig when I'm on.  2 of you old guys could be in an overlook of the set, chiming in, a la the Muppet Show. 

People would watch, Ray.  People would most definitely watch.

We could start with a podcast. Might not be a bad idea. There's enough knowledge here. I'll be the mixed drinks expert.

Sorry dude.  I call em like I see em.  

If it makes you feel any better- I enjoy your posts related to schools and education - being that you have so much personal experience and insight I could never have. I actually learn that way- a lot of smart people around here.

I've offered to start a podcast with you guys on here, it's super easy.  We could discuss anything ya'll want, from the '79 Huskers' backfield to everybody's favorite topic, REALIGNMENT...anything.
