MA nearly doubled its highest daily death total today. We may be seeing a very slight flattening of the total positive tests here, but that death rate is still going up up up, baby!

Good summary. I'd add that the authoritarian mindset is also widespread in bastions of facts and learning, like academia. Nerds can be authoritarians too, arguably we're some of the worst since we're good at fooling ourselves into thinking we're doing facts and logic when we really aren't. Following the scientific method to a T keeps it in check somewhat and is one of the reasons we've made a little progress as a society, but it can't be applied to everything.
See the oft-repeated fact that a generation of geologists had to die off before the continental drift theory was widely accepted.

this is meaningless unless they tracked them for a couple weeks to see if they became symptomatic, though

This is a good point and may suggest they all were infected recently, at the same time

Illinois has been flat for a week but so have tests. Hospital capacity seems fine, I don't understand how Chicago dodged this if it actually did

It took a really long time but America finally reported the bulk of their numbers.

+26,299 cases and +2259 deaths today as of 3:20 CST. Yesterday's numbers were +26,945 and +2407.

Strong chance we significantly exceed yesterday's numbers, and yesterday was already a bad day even without the reclassified NYC deaths.

Also tomorrow we'll hit 30,000 deaths from COVID-19, or, ten 9/11s.

So if 100,000 deaths total are correct, and the death rate continues to plateau, we should be out of this pandemic in 26 days :toot: May 11, we'll miss mother's day by 1 day.

That all the trump boomers are out gathering in large crowds protesting against common sense, we might even hit that number sooner. Hopefully they all decide to protest again on Monday once the first group of fresh infections become super spreaders themselves.

The 40% infection rate among the homeless doesn't surprise me. The 100% asymptomatic rate does though. I guess not washing your hands etc pays off over the long term.

Smoking may put people at greater COVID-19 risk, researchers say

I'm curious what they're basing the claim that smoking makes you more likely to get sick with COVID-19 when smokers seem generally underrepresented among hospitalizations from what I've seen

I would say because smokers are more likely to catch it because they're holding something in their hand and then sticking it in their mouth

smoking does cause lung damage so that would put you in a risk group, it’s just common sense

The UK is doing something incredibly wrong :stare:

They have 98k cases vs Spain's 178k and Italy's 165k, but they already have almost 13,000 deaths where the latter two have 18,700 and 21,600 respectively.

Third highest death count today too, after USA (2336) and France (1438). 200 ahead of Italy and 300 ahead of Spain.

Turkey has a surprisingly low amount of deaths despite being in the top 5 for daily new cases.
