So 44 more deaths a day are filling up the morgues in the entire state of Arizona, and 100 a day in Texas? Really? Were they that pressed for space?

I'd say it's more likely morgues don't want COVID corpses. Otherwise, an event that killed, say... 3000 people would totally swamp Texas morgues (but people go to morgues in counties where they die).

[ChumpDumper]

I will stick with the caveat that many places are procuring refrigerated trucks and trailers in anticipation of the possibility their morgues will fill up. Some places have probably done this before with hurricanes, etc. One thing to keep in mind is that Texas does not count probable COVID deaths in their public reports, so there are likely even more bodies than normal+listed COVID.

Not how this works. You're a rational guy, so read my thread on the backfill phenomenon. What the state dashboards report isn't a reflection of reality on the ground. We have deaths from months and weeks ago just being logged. Boiled down, 300 people could've passed today, but you won't see those deaths show up in the stats for weeks and maybe months.

He laughed me off. Little did I know, New York was already experiencing hundreds of deaths per day days or weeks before.

Most smaller hospitals don't have tons of morgue slabs to begin with, maybe two or three. The expectation (during normal times) is that funeral homes pick the patient directly up from their room as long as there are no hold ups with the medical examiner or anything.

So it isn't that hospital morgues don't want to hold these people, it's that funeral homes can't (or won't) get them all.

Many more people died today than the official "100" number. If you see my reply to DMC, those 100 victims weren't counted in real time. They probably died days to weeks ago.

I understand that. I'm simply saying in regards to DMC's post is that it really wouldn't take a huge influx of deaths to overwhelm morgue capacity in some areas. Under normal circumstances, rural and smaller community hospitals rarely have to store corpses longer than a couple hours, and sending them off to the county morgue isn't done very often either.

Indeed so. Rural areas around the country can easily turn into their small versions of New Yorks with just 100 patients and 20 deaths.

So you're working from a hypothetical? Do you think the backlogged death counts are being released one day at a time on daily deaths, or are they being compiled?

If the counts are not current, how do we know what it is and what the urgency should be? Without real time, accurate statistics, we are only discussing what happened weeks or months ago. What is happening right now? If we don't know, are we just grabbing a story from a news site and filling in the missing information with "probably" and "likely"? Why should that cause anyone to raise an eyebrow? People with optimism will minimalize the situation while the hand wringers here will inflate it to astronomical, end of times levels.

Hospitalizations. They are accelerating. And deaths follow the hospitalizations and case curves pretty linearly.

1281871656676397056

What is happening "right now," is that clinics are being overwhelmed in these hotspots, which the hospitalization data shows. Presumably, deaths will follow these trends. Only thing that I could see bending the death curve is we've gotten much better a treating critical patients. But nothing is trending positively right now.

Data is either relevant or it's not. Argument from authority doesn't make it either way though given a situation where I must trust one or the other based on nothing more than credentials, I'll take the doctor over the Youtube view farmer.

If you look at daily deaths you always see the weekend sawtooth. Those deaths get counted on other days. Why would that be? If Bob died on Saturday, ok count him on Saturday. Why count Bob's death on Monday as Monday's death total? Back date the death to the proper day and adjust the charts. The death total overall will not change but the data will be more accurate.

Hospitalizations do not equal deaths. People who would have been hospitalized for pneumonia a couple months ago are probably being more accurately diagnosed now. In fact the increased pneumonia death rate in Texas pretty clearly delineates that Texas had a higher death rate than previously stated, so the "trend", if adjusted to be accurate, would be flatter imo.

Hospitalizations are an indication of how serious the situation is. They indicate a trend toward rising deaths. Yes, not everyone who is hospitalized is going to die, but more serious cases will simply translate into more deaths.

To account for the weekend sawtooth, it's more helpful to look at 7 day moving averages. In any event, boiled down: The Covid situation is more serious than it has been since New York was peaking. More people are dying right now and over the last week since that peak. Deaths will likely trend up for 2 weeks at least.

I don't believe the discussion is about deathrate. I think it's about total fatalities. I think the rate will go down as we develop better treatments. Of course the death rate I am referring to is the number of infected vs the number of deaths, aka ifr, not death per population which would affect morgue space.

[midnightpulp]

But you'll somehow have your bases covered when the death rate doesn't go up.

As DMC said, not talking about death rate. I know it's probably around .3 percent to .6 percent (CFR doesn't equal IFR). Deaths will go up, though. They already are.

Even looking up the information about that I could tell that projections can be way off but still useful in spurring a general direction of policy and action. I also found out that right off the bat the most basic things were being mischaracterized like when most everyone was calling it an official AMA projection. It's been downhill ever since.

The increased politicization on the right is a defense mechanism IMO. Trump supporters can't possibly admit Trump fucked up worse than any president in history, so they have to find others to blame AND question whether things are actually as bad a Trump helped make things. You see it every day here, right down to fucking refrigerated truck conspiracy theories.

The thing that pisses me off most is that Texas WAS doing pretty well. Seems all we needed to do was open up more slowly with an actual plan to put the brakes on the expected rise in cases/hospitaizations/deaths. Instead we let the Balous Miller Strike Force just make up a plan out of whole cloth. The absolute best case scenario was the only one that was planned out. All the time and initial discipline and cooperation was wasted.

Now the Trump supporters are transitioning to the the Ivan Drago plan. If they die, they die.

No conspiracy theory (another lie you just manufactured out of thin air in your quest for a "w"). Wrongly connecting dots on this site doesn't equate to a conspiracy :lol

tholdren destroyed you. Your allies here can like and +1 all your shit they want, it won't change that.You're wrongly connecting the dots there. Don't get angry.

You've been looking for revenge ever since you wrongly connected imply and infer. It was a simple mistake.

[ChumpDumper]

But you'll somehow have your bases covered when the death rate doesn't go up.It's already going up.

[TimDunkem]

You're likely fatter than me.

I'm just calling it like I see it. Situation cleared up, but you're here acting like it never happened. You went from victim to cheerleader.
Hell no. I've seen those sausages you call fingers. :lmao

This entire thing has become political, unfortunately. Conservatives just don't want to accept that there's once again a peak coming because they fear maybe a shutdown which hurts the economy which hurts Trump. Or the conspiratorial types who think wearing a mask is the equivalent of the Nazis labeling Jews with gold stars.

"B-B-But libruls hype the situation hoping to hurt Trump!"

Perhaps some do, but I got into arguments with MannyisGod and Winehole at the start of it by saying this isn't the black plague. And I didn't like the media's reporting early on, with the constant Italy footage and flashing the Imperial projections on screen (i.e. Experts Project Up To 2 Million Dead).2 million dead if we do nothing wasn't an unreasonable projection, we could conceivably get to half a million deaths in the 12 month period.

Considering what hospitals in Texas are going through now and what NYC hospitals just went through, it was hardly irresponsible to splash Italy all over the news --- the opposite of this seems true to me.

Btw, neither Manny or I have compared COVID-19 to the Black Plague. Haven't seen anyone here who did, tbh.

[SnakeBoy]

So 44 more deaths a day are filling up the morgues in the entire state of Arizona, and 100 a day in Texas? Really? Were they that pressed for space?

I'd say it's more likely morgues don't want COVID corpses. Otherwise, an event that killed, say... 3000 people would totally swamp Texas morgues (but people go to morgues in counties where they die).

The half truth/all out bullshit meter here is pegged.

True there's a lot of half truths/bullshit just for fear mongering. The actual situation is explained in the article.


People who die in hospitals or in nursing homes under a doctor’s care don’t usually go through the medical examiner’s office and will not go to the county morgue.

In Houston, a spokeswoman at the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences insisted that no extra capacity is needed at the county morgue right now. But individual hospitals are also counting on refrigerated trucks to expand their morgue’s capacity. HCA Healthcare Northwest confirmed to the Houston Chronicle that a refrigerated trailer is being used as temporary storage before the transfer from the hospital to funeral homes.

Williamson County had assembled a mobile morgue to be prepared, but it was returned to its vendor around June 1, given that the county has not seen large volumes of deaths in a short period of time. Their capacity is currently 50 bodies, between hospitals, funeral homes and the county morgue. A mobile unit “would be quite easy to add,” if the toll gets dire, county Judge Bill Gravell said.

[Spurtacular]

It's already going up.

This a real-time summation?

[ChumpDumper]

This a real-time summation?No rabbit holes.

If you want to explain how your Texas statistics conspiracy theory fits into your overall pandemic conspiracy theory, go right ahead.

2 million dead if we do nothing wasn't an unreasonable projection, we could conceivably get to half a million deaths in the 12 month period.

I'm not trying to call you out or anything, just illustrating that I'm and many others arent motivated by how the probable death toll will help or hurt "our side" politically. I dont accuse you of that either.

As for 2 million dead, that was with 60 million infected, so it means a potential 10 million dead if the virus infected everyone.

I agree, 300-500k is probably where we'll wind up before vaccine, herd immunity, etc.

[DMC]

Hell no. I've seen those sausages you call fingers. :lmao

I would offer you my standard bet but knowing you have a shitty job that you cannot even take a day off when you have COVID, you'd not be able to cover and I am not interested in your Sanyo receiver.

So is the claim bullshit or not? It seems obvious that the left is using fear mongering to try to gain votes in November. Why would anyone think otherwise? The right would do it if the left was in the WH.

Way ahead of you actually.

I will stick with the caveat that many places are procuring refrigerated trucks and trailers in anticipation of the possibility their morgues will fill up. Some places have probably done this before with hurricanes, etc. One thing to keep in mind is that Texas does not count probable COVID deaths in their public reports, so there are likely even more bodies than normal+listed COVID.Authorities have to prepare in advance for things that may or may not happen regardless of your narrative.

And now they're scrubbing some of the probable Covid cases because they use an antigen test. :lol

Smh

All you can do at this point is shake your head.
