Trump is as incompetent as they come and is directly responsible for the mess we are in. However, I have my doubts that any president could have pulled off the kind of lockdown required to effectively contain the spread. For example, Spain handed out 1MM fines and arrested 8K people for violating lockdown orders. The rioting would be 2X the BLM movement if we tried that here. It's why we can't have nice things.

68% have antibodies in working-class neighborhood in Queens, NYC, suggesting that specific neighborhood may have some herd immunity effects during the next wave. But only 13% in a mostly white and wealthy neighborhood in Brooklyn. I believe those tested were those who reported to the neighborhood medical clinic, CityMD, which could bias the results.

COVID deaths in the U.S. now seem to be starting to increase again after a steady decline. Gee, no one could have seen this coming!

The headline is misleading but your description is worse. It's explicitly stated that 68% of those tested were positive, NOT 68% of the neighborhood.
Two problems trying to make the latter statement: selection bias (which is absolutely required in order to get even useful results from the antibody tests unless the test is something like 99.99%+ correct when positive) and what is the rate of false positives on the test used? Both the clinic and the population probably restricted the number of tests, both for good reasons and because working class people are less likely to pay for a test for nothing.

So therefore, the cheap domestic help from Jackson Heights will infect the mask wearing stay at home liberals in Park Slope when they come to clean or nanny when Mommy finally goes off to work or just lunch with the girls. And everybody infects everybody else on the busses and subways. Again.

Ignore demographics. If ICU admits are high, deaths will follow. We're getting smarter, but none of the treatment options we've found (including non-pharma) to date will dramatically impact deaths.

I agree, ICU (and to a lesser extent) hospitalization number are key numerics to follow. These and deaths show the severity of the pandemic. If it were just positive tests, and 99% of those were of no consequence then this pandemic would be no big deal. Unfortunately way more then 1% are having significant effects from this pandemic.
Huckbucket and I should have a beer together at parties, we would depress everyone.
I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...iscariot

So of everyone on TGR who posts regularly, besides Nutmeg and her bf, who has gotten this thing? Not asking if you know somebody, but who here has had it?

Was wondering this too. At least in my social circle, I know of only two people who have had it. Both healthy males in their late 40s. Handled it just fine but said it had really weird symptoms. Plenty of other people said that they think they had it back in blah blah blah but never got tested. (And I’m one of those).
Waiting to see if there’s a big bump in our local numbers from they holiday weekend where we were inundated with out of staters from outbreak zones like TX, FL, and AZ among others. So far nada but we will see. I have had to go to more public places in the last week than I have been the last few months.
