It was only 700 ish today. The counts are going to be real weird for a while especially with testing sites setting down

May 31st Cum. Deaths Wrapup

The final death toll for May was 106195. Congrats to Clever Hans for stepping out 107000 deaths as their guess.



Congratulations to th C-SPAM experts doomers that performed worse than the IHME on guesses.



Maybe next time you all will do a better job of guessing how many deaths get covered up. Overall 182 of you were too pessimistic compared to 32 that were too optimistic.

I am convinced my 169,420 guess is almost exactly correct but I failed to take into account stuff like florida having 6,000 "pneumonia" deaths and only like 2000 covid deaths and that is my own fault for not realizing that states would hide 3 times as many deaths as they reported. honestly it seems obvious now

22,153 cases and 730 deaths today. Compare with 19,790 cases and 505 deaths last Monday. This is the fourth day in a row of increasing cases week-over-week.

The virus is not losing potency, the second wave is already starting to swell and head toward the shore, and everything is about to get infinitely worse

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

welp called back into the office officially on Wednesday, but I made just enough of a stink about not wanting to be around non mask wearers to be put in my own office and not fired, rather than in the open floor plan. It's not much but it makes me feel a little better, sigh

I guessed a similar #, but the joke's on all of us: from all indications, >50% of the deaths aren't being reported

which means we're probably at >200k right now, and that number's only going up uP UP!!!!

Figuring out how the unrest in the US will impact COVID is weird because some areas are in a greater state of lockdown than they ever were over the past few months, but tens/hundreds of thousands are going to be protesting and thousands are going to be cycled through the plague house that is the US carceral system. Also a disproportionate number out in the streets are Black compared to whites who can afford to lock themselves inside in fear.
