yes, it's been an incredibly painful event, both for businesses and for families. sometimes we all have to make painful sacrifices to try help our society. unfortunately, and predictably, those in the most pain continue to take the brunt of the sacrifice.

Yeah all of the businesses closed in black neighborhoods are such a tragedy caused by the rich people.

4098 new cases in Texas today!  Finally made it to the top of the list of states for cases per day.  Texas is COVID country....

You still have the daily record at NY’s 11,661 from April 15th to shoot for.

    Texas: "The reported cases for June 16 include 2,622 new cases and 1,476 cases that were previously diagnosed among Texas Department of Criminal Justice inmates but that had not been reported by local health departments (887 from Anderson County and 589 from Brazoria County)." [source]

The problem with the NYT charts is that they don't use the same y axis.  All they are are exaggerated representations of the shape of the curve, which yields totally erroneous conclusions when you make these kind of comparisons.  I mean it is impossible to argue that NY, NJ, PA, etc. look better than Texas, CA, AZ, or FL. Although I would agree that in the grand scheme of things they resemble Italy and Spain moreso than TX.

40% of the population is going to kill 5-10% of the total population before we are done with all this.

would it not be important to know if the positive person attended a protest?  we are talking all of 5 seconds to ask and answer.

NO NO NO NO. You cannot ask questions that might cast a bad light on those warriors.....

Fair enough, but that's a bold strategy .... don't count them when they occur so your numbers are lower then and then dump the data later but say it doesn't count because they should have been counted earlier but were not.  Even removing the prisoner cases, 2,622 cases is a single day record for Texas.

Hospitalizations statewide also hit a new record and went above 2,500 for the first time.

Looks like Beijing getting frisky.  They are claiming that it is a new strain to China, blaming it on european imports to their fish markets. 

i find this shit fascinating. 

These looters are from out of state, so there is nothing to worry about

There is no community transmission - just from travelers

The problem on the beaches are the tourists! they are ruining it for everyone

I realize, through sheer strong willed cynicism, that humans are dumb. I wonder if we are entering a new world of rationalising with stupidity on a grander scale because of the pandemic. 

I need some good news so imma just make some the fuck up!

Per capita relative to what? There are many per capitas. 

Italy has ~60m people and 34k covid deaths in like 3 months.

Texas has roughly half the pop. ~30m people and 2k deaths in 3 months. I guess if Italy records 0 deaths for the next 24 months, Texas will catch them in per capita deaths?

these freakin numbers almost caused me a panic earlier today...my dad lives in Anderson Co. and the number had been consistently low...i checked today on a whim...989 cases 😮

call dad to update him bc he hasnt been paying much attention... and he informs me he's on his way to choir practice at church 😳

anyway, we figured they were mostly from the TDCJ facility, but the guards that work there likely came from Palestine.

i did also explain to him about CHOIR PRACTICE being specifically identified as superspreader events. at least he plays in the band and isnt in the mix of people and he says he wears a mask.

Austin MSA hospitalizations are blowing up.

Over the past few days when I've been jogging in the evening, I've seen full-on basketball games at our park.  And some of those dudes probably have underlying symptoms.   I saw one mask, but if you've got 8-9 guys playing hard and sweating their asses off, I don't see how it helps much, especially if it's soaked through.

If it's like this now, I can only imagine that there's going to be some hard conversations about July 4.   Feels like the state is going to have to take a few steps back if this keeps up.

There are a lot of garbage news silos people get stuck in. And those silos create dollars for Carlos Slim and Jeff Bezos. Those two monopolists should not be controlling the NYT and WP. They like news silos. It's good for business. Effect - polarized nation with less ability to understand fact from fiction. That's dangerous.

Heat will slow it.  Problem is all us Texans will be inside the A/C hurtling droplets at each other because masks don't kill the Covid, they do kill muh freedoms!

Abbott doesn’t need to give power to the mayor’s. What he needs to do is just make masks mandatory at stores and places of worship.

Bars are definitely an issue. Went down to get Garaj Mahal the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend and the bars just operating pretty close to normal. Main measures I saw were to protect staff. The bars have patios so no capacity limits. Most restaurants are doing everything very responsible.

Is there any "Field of Dreams" effect going on here? I mean the "if you build it they will come" aspect. Hospitals have sent a lot of staff home and need patients of some variety so why not hospitalize cases that they would have considered marginal 2 months ago? A shit ton of symptomatic folks were sent home to ride it out when this all started.

Hate to be cynical but I do wonder about these things.

Another data point that I am curious about is the average length of stay. I don’t default to abuse of the system, but interested in the trends. As we have effective therapeutics coming on line might expect to see longer lengths of stay among some individuals which would increase the daily census but not daily new admits.

The less cynical side of me tends to think that it's possible that at the beginning we were only admitting the worst of cases. Probably a lot of folks early on were sent home who should have had a hospital stay. Not so much abuse as a shift in standards for admission.

You saw a pickup basketball game? Here they have started the youth baseball season. 6 diamonds completely full of kids and their relatives, also schools have started summer strength and conditioning sessions for 7-12.
