Rumblings out of Mayo that convalescent plasma therapy produces a major survival benefit. They've tracked almost 30K patients who received it. Hopefully they publish findings soon.
I thought it was odd that PA's Health Dept. website has had diarrhea listed as a symptom since the beginning. It was the only place i saw that listed it as a symptom, till now.
I dunno. I heard Pence blamed young people, but I'm not sure if that was in any specific geographic region.Havent paid attention over the weekend- we still getting record breaking numbers in southern states?

They said this on the news this morning. It's kind of like, if you don't have that disclaimer about increased testing, it's an assumption the conspiracy theorists are making.I expect record numbers to continue this week (and it will not simply be because of increased testing). Deaths may continue to trend downward for a week or so, but unfortunately will trend back upward as the disease progresses in all of these new infections.
EDIT: Also worth noting, the number of active cases in the country is increasing rapidly and is currently the highest it has ever been. Yesterday about 40,000 new cases were reported, while only 12,000 recovered. The total number of active cases is ~1.4 million. We had initially been holding steady at ~1.1 million active cases after flattening the curve.
Not trying to make this political - because I assume everyone here is old enough to laugh at shit without taking it seriously:
I have a crazy nutter neighbor basically making conspiracy theories that the "Democraps" are selectively spreading this virus in certain areas lol.

I have a idea, can we have a second Corona thread and its just memes, perhaps just links and pictures and various stories showing the stupidity and stuff of various people? Have the serious need to know information here, then put all the random bs in the other? I don't volunteer to start it but it crossed my mind. I don't count the mask thread in the P&N as one, cause it wouldn't contain all the juicy conspiracy theories.
Think of the second thread of like a venting thread perhaps with humor mixed in? I am sure we all see some stupid things, like i went on my walk this morning and as always people driving solo in their cars hitting 50mph and wearing that mask. I feel bad posting stuff like that in this thread, cause its not exactly constructive but i feel a thread like i mentioned would be perfect.
Thoughts? Anyone wanna start it off?
I've been mixing in jokes the whole time.Nah, even when in a serious thread getting some laffs in from time to time is good.
Cuomo says he may delay indoor dining in NYC. Probably a good call.
Open more streets and let restaurants set up in them across the city.
New cases appear to be far lower than last Monday. Hopefully that's a good sign?
Yeah, but then diners have to be worried about getting hit by random fireworks being lit up all over the city. The NYC cops don't seem to be doing a damn thing about that.
One day of data is almost never meaningful. There's clearly a surge in cases (won't call it a 2nd wave, because it's a first wave in many places) recently to a new national peak number. A conservative way is to pay attention to the 7 day moving average. Also, cases are reported throughout the day and it's still mid-afternoon in the West.New cases appear to be far lower than last Monday. Hopefully that's a good sign?
