Tuesday 11/10
New cases: 142,212 -- 7-day moving average: 124,566/day
New deaths: 1,465 -- 7-day moving average: 1,041/day
Total American Covid-19 deaths: 246,020
BTW, per MIT, if you think you've been exposed, the optimal wait before testing is 5-7 days for >95% accuracy with the standard PCR test.

Remember Trumps now famous and often memed childish rant... COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID...
At a rally in Florida two days before Election Day, he claimed that efforts to contain the virus in states with Democratic governors would be eased once the election was over and that news coverage of the virus would similarly dissipate.
“You know what’s going to happen to [business closures]? On November 4th, the day after, they’re going to say, ‘All right, we’ll open up now,’ ” Trump said. “That’s why they’re locking down. But we’re going to have a safe vaccine that ends the pandemic. Without it, it’s rounding the — I say it’s — it drives them crazy. It’s rounding the turn. Because all they want to do, you turn and then there’s covid, covid, covid, covid, covid. We’d like to talk about covid, and then, next turn. Here’s what happens, November 4th, you won’t hear too much about it. You won’t hear too much about it.”
It is true that media coverage of the pandemic dropped a bit last week, a function of the increased coverage of the election and its aftermath. But coverage on the major cable news networks is by now back to where it was a month ago — with CNN and MSNBC spending more time on the subject than Fox News or sister network Fox Business.
Just another example of Trump living in his own delusional fantasy world.
Keep on Civin'

Shocking, shocking news. Who would have guessed?"We just don't know if we're going to be able to leave the ship in Barbados," Sue Bryant, a cruise editor for the Sunday Times, who is currently on the ship, said.There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.
