Transmission rates in the Midwest seem to have peaked around Columbus Day and then declined until around Veteran’s Day, and then started creeping up little by little everyday since.

26 of 148 deaths are in Cook County. So that county has the most deaths, but 122 deaths are in other counties, many more counties. you know how some on this site talk about pols not winning counties statewide? this is a race you don’t want to win. Mask up. Socially distance. stay inside. wash your hands.

Perhaps the death rate would lower if the high risk groups were better elevated in communications. We don’t recommend that men get mammograms, despite the fact that some men need them. Focusing on women hits the target audience and saves lives.

Reality, I was briefly confused and thought you were saying more women die of Covid than men. Then I realized that was an extension of your analogy. I remember early in the pandemic, a higher percentage of the dying were men, now it seems more even. Not sure what to make of that.
I actually think the news is really out there that old people are super susceptible as well as people with diabetes, hypertension, obesity, cancer…it’s just that when you add all that up you get to a majority.

Thanksgiving numbers will probably show up next week.

The peak from Thanksgiving is still coming. Then what happens when people get together for Christmas?

–Maximus–
Peaks on peaks with responsible people who can staying in and responsible people who can’t staying in as soon as they can and hoping that’s enough to make up for the others.
