April 21 (Reuters) - U.S. coronavirus deaths topped 45,000 on Tuesday doubling in a little over a week and rising by a near-record amount in a single day, according to a Reuters tally.

The United States has by far the world's largest number of confirmed coronavirus cases at over 810,000, almost four times as many as Spain, the country with the second-highest number. Globally, cases topped 2.5 million on Tuesday.

U.S. deaths increased by more than 2,750 on Tuesday alone, just shy of a peak of 2,806 deaths in a single day on April 15.

New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Michigan each reported their highest single-day coronavirus-related death tolls on Tuesday - over 800 between the three states. New York state, the epicenter of the U.S. outbreak, reported 481 new deaths.

Health officials have noted that deaths are a lagging indicator of the outbreak, coming weeks after patients fall sick, and do not mean stay-at-home restrictions are failing to slow the spread of the virus.

This means one thing - open up the states!

This means one thing - open up the states!

And the more they open it the more the case and death count will rise.

I don't think massage parlors are going to be overrun.

it's probably hard to get a massage when you're running

In the weeks since the coronavirus outbreak has squelched daily life in America, researchers have struggled to assess the true spread of the virus. But initial results from a Northern California study on coronavirus antibodies suggest it has circulated much more widely than previously thought, according to a report released Friday.

The preliminary study, conducted by researchers at Stanford University, estimates that between 2.5% and 4.2% of Santa Clara County residents had antibodies to the new coronavirus in their blood by early April. Antibodies are an indication that a person’s immune system has responded to a past infection.

Early January for me. Docs said it wasn't, but looking back I am not so sure.

 

[magnifier661]

Can anyone explain why their mortality is much smaller than worldometer and news?

Link to the actual CDC data.

That hotline is already shut down. Too many people were texting memes and pictures of politicians not social distancing lol. I tried to text a picture of DeBlasio in a crowd of people from the week before and the number was shut off.

My boss missed work and was coughing like he was going to keel over when he came back. He said he thought he was going to die. He'd been back for a week or so and wanted me to go see him in his office and I wouldn't. He said he wasn't contagious and I said the same thing I always say to that...

How the fuck do you know?

So I stood outside his office and talked to him.

He coughed for about a month. I noticed because I was starting to get allergies and he was still coughing.

There are businesses that can be opened with masks and social distancing. Bookstores, furniture, auto parts, housewares, craft stores, etc. Georgia governor making a point of opening precisely those where masks and social distancing are impossible. Got to show he's Trumper than Trump.

I think even that is overdoing it.

Their peak is actually expected in 4 days. Opening anything now is just idiotic. It all comes back to what I've been yelling about for a month now: we STILL don't have sufficient testing to know the true spread. The response continues to be idiotic.
