COVID-19 MAY 2020 USA CUM DEATHS GUESSING GAME
Guess how many cumulative deaths we have on worldometer's COVID-19 report for May 31st for the USA. The closest guess gets the satisfaction of being smarter than a bunch of idiot epidemiologists. If you are dead on May 31st, you may not redeem this prize. The guessing window closes at +07:00 GMT on May 2nd.

169,420

If anyone knows any Smart Epidemiologists with predictions for May 31st please let me know

gently caress, i didn't see 169420 was already taken. i'll switch to 196420. 96 is like a 69 but rear end to rear end.

where are you getting 2900 dead for may 1st?

I see 1800 on most sites


https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/cases-in-us.html

the differences in these numbers is because they're not reporting the same thing. WHO is reporting "here are the number of covid-19 deaths that this country reported in the last 24 hours" whereas the cdc and the worldometers site, etc. are reporting number of covid deaths that day. so when someone dies of pneumonia and the medical examiner doesn't determine the cause of death to be covid for a week or two, it shows up on the WHO data as a covid death reported in the last 24 hours, but the cdc and worldometers etc. go back and add it as a covid death on the day the death occurred. so both are true, there were 1850ish confirmed covid deaths yesterday, and another about 1000 that weren't reported as covid deaths on the days the deaths occurred, but have been added in now.

San Francisco a week and a half ago picked a ~16 block chunk out of the zip code with the most confirmed covid cases in the city and offered everyone that lived or worked there free testing to see if they had covid plus also antibody testing to see if they had any coronavirus antibodies (typical caveat that this provides false positives for people with antibodies to other coronaviruses). Of the 4,160 people tested, only 79 had it, but of those 79 that were positive for covid-19, 53% were asymptomatic.
https://missionlocal.org/2020/05/preliminary-results-of-mission-covid-tests-show-95-percent-of-positive-cases-were-latinx/

edit: the area is about 50% latino, 15% asian, tests were about 45% latino, 11% asian, so outreach got more white people than are representative in the neighborhood, and of the people that were positive for covid, 95% were latino, 5% were asian.

gavbot has determined that "humans" are the more likely to vote for his future advancement than "corporations", for now. (his major corporate donors are from industries that can easily work from home)

humans getting gills would ... take a long rear end time

whales and dolphins and swimming birds don’t even have gills and they’ve been swimming for awhile

humans will have them by 2032, as shown in the documentary seaquest dsv.

No those numbers are good. 60k here we come.

maybe the goal was to keep it under 60k deaths per day?

Tony Piccolo’s gills were not the result of natural mutation.

obviously. they were the result of him having volunteered to take experimental vaccines.

omg those suicidal people in the crosswalk. i kept waiting and thinking one would get hit

eh, the people on the crosswalks never get me too 2nd-hand afraid, it's the people that run into and out of the center that always get me freaked out that someone might actually get hit. i've only ever seen one person get hit though. teens are invincible.
