using the CDC data (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm) it looks like deaths only went up by 2,919 this week (covid + pneumonia - "pneumonia and covid-19 deaths"). Am I missing something?

the city ordered my mom (who is almost 70) and her entire staff (who are all in their 50s, 60s, and 70s) back into her school's office as of yesterday, even though they won't be doing any in-person classes for the entire summer and probably also not in the fall

literally just pointlessly exposing a bunch of people who had been working just fine remotely for two months

im not 100% but i have strong evidence of a chain of transmission through work with other people also getting positive antibody results from a bunch of us being mildly sick in the winter. going over that with my dr, he is pretty sure the result is accurate.

That page counts death certificates and the lag between the date of death and the paperwork being lodged means it takes weeks or even months for the data to update accurately

Scariest thing is people throwing clots even while on a heparin drip which frankly doesn’t make any sense.

benzene is used in the drying of industrial alcohol as you can only distill to 95% purity

that doesn't mean this info is useless though, as far as I have been able to find it's the only source for uncategorized death counts or historical averages of the same. even though the current data is pretty useless you can see how bad things have actually been compared to the reported numbers at the time. as more time passes and this count evolves you start realizing oh hey, national death rate for the country was *thirty five percent* more than the historical norm back in the early days of April when it was just barely getting warmed up.

Thank you. What's the best source for """real-time""" deaths? And what about cases? What data do you trust?

Do you think we'll hit a million actual deaths by November?
