How Many Americans Are About to Die?
A new analysis shows that the country is on track to pass spring’s grimmest record.
Because the case-fatality rate has stayed fixed for so long and there are now so many reported cases, predicting the virus’s death toll in the near term has become a matter of brutal arithmetic: 150,000 cases a day, times 1.5 percent, will lead to 2,250 daily deaths. In the spring, the seven-day average of daily deaths rose to its highest point ever on April 21, when it reached 2,116 deaths. With cases rising as fast as they are, the U.S. could cross the threshold of 2,000 daily deaths within a month. Without a miraculous improvement in care, the United States is about to face the darkest period of the pandemic so far.

The US just recorded more than 2,000 Covid-19 deaths in a day. One forecasting model predicts that number will keep growing. The group also hiked its Covid-19 death forecast considerably, now predicting a total of 471,000 American deaths by March 1.

Signy, just for you -
Cases are soaring in LACounty. Estimates are that 12% of all new cases will be hospitalized roughly 2 weeks after cases go up. (As I heard on KNX1070) the trigger to hardline restrictions is when they think choices will have to be made between which patients get resources - between say a COVID-19 patient getting a ventilator v a stroke victim getting one, or a COVID-19 patient getting an ICU bed v a trauma victim.
Yes, it's heading towards T-day, but this is a time to be extra vigilant.
California coronavirus cases hit record for 2nd time this week amid new restrictions
COVID-19 hospitalizations have risen by 63.6% over the last 14 days, hitting 4,523, according to Dr. Mark Ghaly, the state’s health and human services secretary. The number of patients in intensive care — 1,155 — is 40.5% higher than two weeks ago.
With the virus becoming more widespread statewide, "activities that you normally do are higher risk today than they were a month ago," Ghaly said.
"We’ve seen reports of people saying, 'Well, I haven’t changed my behavior. I was doing the same thing a month ago,'" he said. "Well, today, because the background transmission rate, the level of COVID in our communities, is higher, even our everyday activities become higher risk. And we must be resolved to put up our protective guards even more than we usually do."

L.A. is facing the most dangerous moment of the COVID-19 pandemic. Here's how we got here
A Times analysis found that L.A. County is reporting an average of 3,362 coronavirus cases a day over the previous five days as of Thursday. If that rate hits 4,000 cases a day — a scenario that could plausibly happen in a matter of days — county officials say they'll order an end to outdoor restaurant dining and require eateries to serve food only by delivery or takeout.
And if that rate hits 4,500 a day, authorities warn they'll order a stay-at-home order, which would allow only essential and emergency workers and those securing essential services to leave their homes, and impose a 10 p.m.-to-6 a.m. curfew that would generally only exempt essential workers.
If COVID-19 hospitalizations pass the threshold of 1,750 in L.A. County, officials say they plan to order restaurants to close outdoor dining areas. And authorities plan to issue a new stay-at-home order if hospitalizations pass 2,000.
In September, L.A. County recorded about 100 new cases of patients with COVID-19 needing hospital admission every day. "Now, that number is closer to 200," Ghaly said. The sharp increase in hospitalizations is a warning sign. "It is highly likely that we will experience that highest rates of hospitalizations that we have seen in the COVID-19 pandemic to date within the next month unless we take action immediately to substantially reduce transmission within our communities," Ghaly said.
The effective transmission rate of the coronavirus in L.A. County is now estimated at 1.18, meaning that every person infected with the virus on average transmits it to 1.18 people. "This is a marked increase from last week, when we estimated that the [transmission rate] was 1.03," said Dr. Christina Ghaly, the L.A. County director of health services.

Scrounging around, I found some information that points to an answer about age v comorbidities and COVID-19.
As the 'deaths' numbers go up with age, the percentage of those 'deaths' with commodities stays more or less the same. That means that comorbidities go up with age, and seem to be the biggest risk factor, not age per se.
If age alone was a factor, the percent of people dying with comorbidities would be going down as age goes up, because they would be dying of COVID-19 + age alone.

I think this is people not taking the virus very seriously. It's been here for almost a year and people aren't very good at vigilence.
Our family is still, basically, in lockdown. we go grocery shopping and mail letters and pick up medicines, and I thank my lucky stars that I started out with some decent N95s and have recently been able to purchase some more and done my level-best to make sure that they aren't counterfeit. But these are supposedly mfrd by a chinese compnay that is approved both by the CDC and NIOSH and seems to have all the right markings, so f

This is just to point out that it's not just the m$m that lies ... it's anybody with a single-minded agenda that can't have it exposed to the light of facts:

Danish Study Suggests Masks Do Little To Stop COVID As Iowa Gov Insists There Is "Evidence On Both Sides"
What the study https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-6817 ACTUALLY found was - masks did little to protect the WEARER, at a time and place where infection rates were extremely low and many stringent public measures were already in place.
But people knew that 2 months in. Masks MOSTLY protect everyone else.
So why print this extremely misleading article now?

They keep saying stuff like this, but you take a step outside and everything is just as it always has been except for all the masks.
