Hey, a record 2,831 Americans died of COVID-19 today.
2nd straight day with over 200K new cases, too.
Trump? Doesn't care.Last edited by -Jrabbit; December 3, 2020, 01:04.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

Yep... all Trump cares about is trying to steal the election and pardon himself, family and friends while Americans continue to die while he does nothing. It is kind of ironic that if he had actually showed some leadership and empathy about the whole situation, he probably would have won in a landslide...Keep on Civin'

And who can forget the classic...
Boy did he get that wrong"That's all I hear about now. That's all I hear. Turn on television—'Covid, Covid, Covid, Covid, Covid, Covid.' A plane goes down. 500 people dead, they don't talk about it," Trump told his supporters at a campaign rally in Lumberton, North Carolina, on October 24th. "Covid, Covid, Covid, Covid.' By the way, on November 4, you won't hear about it anymore,"Keep on Civin'

big question: what do you think the peak number for covid deaths per day is going to be? It's currently at about 2700, and the 7 day average lags behind hospitalizations. My guess is that we'll see that number double at worst, but likely at best hit about 4k.I wasn't born with enough middle fingers.

I think it is hard to guess-Originally posted by self biased View Post
After all the numbers oft active cases in the USA are still on the rise, with no sign of peaking anytime soon.
I also think that there may be jumps in the numbers of deaths per day, thanks to local ICU capacities (in cities or even states) getting overwhelmed by critical CoViD-19 cases (and therefore people die who, with proper treatment, could have survived)Last edited by Proteus_MST; December 3, 2020, 17:42.Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death.

1% of the US dying in one year would be over 8k a day, so I'll go with that as the peak figure

Over 3,000 *new* COVID-19 deaths in the US today. What silly fake news! Why is poor Donald Trump not King yet? That is the real question.There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.Comment

MRNA up to $157/share.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

The UK preordered a total of 355 million vaccine diesels from the various companies. That’s enough to vaccinate everyone in the UK 2.5 times.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.

US has prepaid for the following vaccine doses that I know of:
Moderna - 100 million
Pfizer BioNtech - 100 million
AstraZenica Oxford - 500 million
Johnson and Johnson - 100 million
This is enough to vaccinate everyone in the US ~1.33 times. (Johnson and Johnson may only require 1 dose)Last edited by pchang; December 4, 2020, 12:42.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.

The interesting question may be, if the vaccine doses make it to the points of distribuition in all states intact.Originally posted by pchang View Post
AFAIK thre are special requirements like an intact cooling chain (AFAIK the BioNTech, for example, has to stay at -70 or -100°C or the like),
so the distribution may need especially thorough planning ot warehousing and the logistic chains.
I doubt that the federal government is able to do this (too many experts having beern fired and replaced by Yes-Men) ...
and I also wouldn't think that the expertise for such endeavour may lack in several US states.Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death. I arrive on winds of blessed air. Air that you no longer deserve."

If they can deliver dry ice (and they can) to every state, they can deliver the Pfizer vaccine. All others require standard freezing (equivalent to delivering ice cream) at worst.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.
