A projected curve of new cases from Ohio State University predicted Ohio would have 533 new coronavirus cases today. The state reported 348 new cases, putting Ohio below the Ohio State projection curve for three days in a row.
So there’s some good news? Three straight days where new cases didn’t grow as projected? Just wonder if we’re kicking the can down the road, though. If we continue to keep things to a dull roar and start to open back up in say a month, then do we experience the onslaught?

Olsterholm debunked that with the quickness on Rogan. He's rather knowledgable, so I'll just believe him.
Let's leave the wacko shit to the Politics Forum.
Why do we need to have the wacko shit in any forum?

I highly doubt China infected their own country to fuck with the world's economy, however China is no doubt taking notes for the future. Currently we have one our most important aircraft carriers (USS Teddy Roosevelt) is currently stuck in Guam taking care of sailors who tested positive. I hope the DoD learns their lesson from this, because their response to all of this (at least the Navy) has been unimpressive.

What China did do is unleash this thing, covered it up till it got out of hand, and then killed thousands of people if not hundreds of thousands.
Right now the conspiracy theory crowd is going bonkers over it.
Those people will go bonkers over any major event that happens.

I don't think China covering it up is a crazy conspiracy. Do any of you all trust anything they say right now? I think accusing them of using this as a weapon is a crazy conspiracy. I know they don't really give a fuck about hurting their people, but it doesn't add up to why they would want to hurt their own economy.

I can potentially buy the theory that this was accidentally unleashed from one of their virology labs. I cannot buy that they did it intentionally.
But, yes, I don't believe anything coming from CCP state media.

Sorry I'm late to the party. Just wanted to comment on this and say, holy fuck that is a terrible site.
If anyone actually wants to review drug-specific info, outcomes, etc... The SIDP is posting informational reviews of various agents that have been theorized to play a role in COVID treatment: https://sidp.org/page-1543429.
Someone else had posted about a site that allowed you to look at county-specific data. I'm not sure if this is the one, but https://infection2020.com/ allows you to see prevalence, total positives, and deaths. Unfortunately, 24-hour trends are only listed at the national level.
Unrelated to the above, my wife and I will benefit greatly from the 6 months pause on interest to public loans; more importantly, we don't have to make payments during those 6 months, and our Public Service Loan Forgiveness clock will keep ticking. Just hit the half-way point and I'm really hoping it will still be around in 5 years.

The movie Outbreak opened my eyes to the reality of this. Now, that was a virus that re-emerged in the wild, but it was a virus that the government knew about from the '70s, and withheld in their own labs (along with antidote) as a weapon b/c they knew of the destruction it could cause.
Just made me sit back and wonder how many deadly viruses are being held back as a potential WMD by governments all over the world.

Does anyone actually think that they didn't cover it up and lie about it? That's not a conspiracy, it's fact. They are still lying about their numbers.

I'm sure it's not a small amount.

My husband is on year 5 as well, and I swear to God if these assholes in charge get rid of that program...😡.

Oh sure. I buy completely that they covered it up. Probably to save face or avoid blame, which has obviously backfired now.
