The theory is starting to get some science behind it. My coworkers brother, 30 something YO, went to the hospital in Feb and said he had pneumonia they said no. He died three days later of respiratory issues?? I'm doing a huge project in Santa Clara and we had a round of flu this year in Jan-Feb that was gnarly. People missed weeks of work.
1st Known U.S. COVID-19 Death Was Weeks Earlier Than Previously Thought

Santa Clara County's medical examiner says a person who died on Feb. 6 has posthumously tested positive for COVID-19. Here, medical students, faculty and volunteers take blood samples during a coronavirus antibody study in Mountain View, Calif., earlier this month.

The first U.S. death known to be from COVID-19 occurred on Feb. 6 – nearly three weeks before deaths in Washington state that were originally believed to be the country's first from the coronavirus, according to officials in Santa Clara County, Calif. The person died at home, and at a time when testing in the U.S. was tightly limited not only by capacity but by federal criteria.
The person is one of three people posthumously identified as dying from COVID-19 in Santa Clara County, after the medical examiner-coroner carried out autopsies and sent samples to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The other two deaths took place on Feb. 17 and March 6.
"These three individuals died at home during a time when very limited testing was available only through the CDC," the county's health department said as it announced the findings. "Testing criteria set by the CDC at the time restricted testing to only individuals with a known travel history and who sought medical care for specific symptoms."
The Bay Area county, which had previously reported its first COVID-19 death on March 9, says it will likely identify more coronavirus deaths as its investigation continues.
Revelations about the deaths in early February underscore a point that public health officials often make when talking about a viral outbreak: that it's difficult, if not impossible, to get an accurate real-time picture of a disease's actual impact. By the time test results and statistics emerge, experts say, the information is weeks out of date.
At the time of the person's death on Feb. 6, the first known death outside of China had only been reported less than a week earlier, in the Philippines. U.S. cases then numbered in the tens, not the thousands.
Two days before the death in Santa Clara, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was urging people to wash hands and take other precautions to curb transmission of the virus. But the agency also said via Twitter, "CDC does not currently recommend the use of facemasks to help prevent novel #coronavirus. #2019nCoV is not spreading in communities in the US" – two positions it later reversed, as the disease's global impact grew.
At the start of February, COVID-19 had not yet been declared a pandemic and it didn't yet have an official name; it was still mainly known as the "2019 novel coronavirus."
By the end of February, President Trump announced the first U.S. coronavirus death had occurred on Feb. 28. Within days, officials in King County, Wash., said two people had died from the disease earlier, on Feb. 26. And they noted that they were seeing signs of community spread of the virus, as people were being hospitalized without having any known exposure to it.
The U.S. has now confirmed more than 825,000 COVID-19 cases, including 45,000 deaths, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.Hello darkness my old friend

CDC is estimating 40 million flu cases this season so far which peaked in February. So tens of millions had it Jan-Feb., and the B version being particularly nasty this time. How many people do you think had COVID in January and February in the states out of tens of millions?

Wear a buff. I’ve been wearing one biking, just cause, I might pass a person or two on single track. Turns out it is great for keeping bugs out.
I learned this when I pulled off my buff once in a part of the park I rarely see people. As soon as I pulled it down I inhaled some flying bug. Spat it out and pulled the buff back up.

The final part of the paper uses two different regression models to show that, in fact, there is good reason to believe that Hannity viewership did increase coronavirus deaths relative to Carlson viewership.
In the first model, they compare data on the two shows’ ratings in different areas to county-level data on coronavirus infections and deaths. Specifically, they compare Hannity viewership to coronavirus rates two weeks later — the time it would take for the virus to start presenting in virtually all infected, symptomatic individuals.
After controlling for a number of confounding variables, ranging from overall television viewership rates to demographic factors like race, they find a clear relationship: Areas with greater Hannity viewership had more cases and more deaths. This relationship weakened after Hannity changes his show’s tune in mid-March, suggesting that it is in fact the programming driving the changes.

Snohomish County Sheriff watched Inslee's press conference yesterday and decided Inslee's plan wasn't much of a plan so he decided he would no longer be enforcing the stay at home order. And unlike right-wing Franklin County, Snohomish County votes democrat and has the third highest per-capita income, and third highest population, of any county in the State.

Speaking of mosquitos, hiked the road behind my house a few days ago (I live near Buff Pass). It's shady and cold due to aspect, not enough snow to ski down anymore so brought the snowshoes to mitigate the posthole fest once it got to around 8500ft. Stopped for a few minutes for a snack in a nice snowy meadow, temps were hovering in the 40s. Within minutes I was swarmed by mosquitos, thousands of them. They looked desperate, like they haven't seen human flesh in forever, which is probably true. Surprised to see them this early, though we did have some high temps the week before. I ran. I think the bugs are gonna be in full force with less people/pets to pester/feed on this summer.
