    I know you desperately want to live in a world without political shenanigans. But it's all around you.
    You keep hoping if you must.

    I know people at local hospitals, so I have a sense of what's going on. It's definitely increasing.

    Testing has drastically increased. That's expected.

    Community transmission has increased. Gov.Abbott predicted that but, not quite to the extent of reversing the reopening three weeks later.

    It's spreading! Somehow, deaths are going down!

    You call on the most conspiracy minded poster on this board.

    I think it's a conspiracy that a killer virus is spreading and somehow deciding to show mercy on us.

    Dr. Fauci told us not to wear masks, not all that long ago.
    Oh you mean when we were in a huge mask shortage and in the middle of a nationwide lockdown? Its almost as if the context of mask wearing now is different. Why are you like this? I mean honestly.

    It was killing a bunch at first, because it was new, and docs were following protocols from previous experience. This thing is not like other respiratory viruses (again, it's new).

    They could have told the public to wear non-medical grade face coverings. Pretty much what they're telling us now.

    Ventilators keep you in hospital for a long time. They aren't knee jerk putting people on respirators anymore.

    And younger demo getting covid should mean less hospitalization.
    Not so much less hospitalization but less death rate

    Docs are getting better at treating so deaths declining is expected. Not sure how that is supposed to disprove that the virus is spreading.

    And they're getting people out of hospitals faster. That's what I've been told, anyway.

    Thats a conspiracy.
    Why should doctors get better at treating just because they handle more and more cases and correspond with other doctors?
    Are you actually claiming more familiarity with a disease and more time to work with it help us understand it better and possibly treat it better?

    Rubbish...

    Yeah, I think the doctors have started putting together some really good treatment protocols.

    Probably helped that doctors around the world were sharing information.

    One such protocol is called MATH+

    Google that, if you're interested

    Do you attribute it to better treatment as opposed to just a time delay between being symptomatic to sick to dead? Because this jump in infections has been really quick (as exponential growth should be) and deaths have always seemed to have a pretty significant lag. What is the difference in treatment? Is everyone who is in really dire straits getting dexamethasone now? I remember remedesivir chipping away at the death rate a bit and cutting a couple of days off hospital stays on average, but it didn't sound like a game changer.

    Seems obvious the "low" death rate right now is a combination of a host of factors with the likely biggest contributor being that we really did flatten the curve in most places through the end of April and through May.

    As the infections explode again and the colder months come, so will the deaths. I feel like I'm watching the same movie I watched in March.

    Just keep monitoring the deaths.

    May be as simple as not being fat, getting enough vitamin D, and taking the occasional aspirin.

    Don't know what or who Kana Momonogi is. Definitely, not googling.

    I would guess it's either a time delay since deaths are a lagging indicator or maybe we're getting the strain the west coast was seeded with from Wuhan as opposed to the one the east coast was seeded with from Italy. Though if that's the case you'd probably expect Florida deaths to shoot through the roof since no way they weren't seeded from old New Yorkers.

    Could explain all the pneumonia deaths.

    I lost 35 lbs a few years ago. Glad I did that.
