2. Hospitalized Death Rates
27% in March, August 3% in August
Recent patients averaging age 47 vs. 63

1. Patients in in better shape, with less-severe symptoms
2. More Knowledgeable Care:
resting patients on their stomachs and avoiding ventilators
3. More Pharmaceutical Treatments
4. Less Crowded Hospitals
BUT
10-15% Serious 5% Critical

3. Lessons from 2,500 hours COVID19 research:
a) Ignore cases, use number of hospitalizations, deaths.
b) Beware of reported death: many ‘with’ not ‘due to’ COVID19.
c) All-cause deaths bias-free but ambiguous & badly delayed.
d) MSM is rarely right. WHO often right but timing off.@MLevitt_NP2013
e) Death Will Catch Up after Slow Thanksgiving reporting

4. Trump CV Pandemic Response.

The Trump administration has weakened crucial worker protections
needed to combat the coronavirus

Occupational Safety and Health Administration-OSHA refused to issue an Emergency Temporary Standard to protect workers during the pandemic. OSHA failed to enforce the Occupational Safety and Health Act despite nearly 10,000 CV-19 complaints. Only issued a handful of citations for failure to protect workers. Centers for Disease Control-CDC guidelines allowed essential workers to continue working with asymptomatic provided employer implements additional precautions. Department of Labor (DOL) excluded millions of workers from paid CV leave provisions including 9 million health care workers and 4.4 million first responders, before revising the rule after a federal judge invalidated parts of the original rule in August. Further, at first Trump vehemently opposed the extension of the $600 increase of unemployment insurance benefits and additional aid to state and local governments.

1/7: Trump’s fight with China continues to haunt us as the administration refuses to join the Covid-19 Vaccines Global Access Facility. Trump said he did not want to be constrained by “corrupt World Health Organization and China”. Yet China may be the best bet... China has a more balanced portfolio of potential COVID-19 vaccines as well as an actual track record for vaccine development. By ignoring global collaboration, we are quite literally PUTTING ALL OF OUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET

3/7: China or any other country should beat America to the finish line in vaccine development, membership in WHO would likely put us on the fast-track to sharing in those benefits. And now ender's President Trump’s withdraw from the WHO. Editor: US has all the money so we may be able to pay our way into getting the vaccine in a reasonable time.

4/7: An American ‘WHO EXIT’ will have major implications for healthcare and public health efforts globally and domestically. Top WHO priorities such as polio eradication and Universal Health Coverage will suffer globally at the loss of American funding

Less influenza Activity
in Southern hemisphere

In the, the influenza season has not started.
Despite continued or even increased testing for influenza in some countries in the southern hemisphere, very few influenza detections were reported.

Editor 10/27/20 The US is Experiencing a Substantial Less Influenza

Notes from recent @gummibear737 rant

I have had three EUREKA moments during the pandemic:

Conclusions:
1. Burnout = Herd Immunity
2. Pandemic is over.
3. Paradoxically, lockdowns are killing more people.
4. Schools should be opened.
5. Continued lockdowns makes a second wave is
more likely so we should reopen everything.

Minimalist Michael Levitt @MLevitt_NP2013 Jul 25

US COVID19 will be done in 4 weeks with a total reported death below 170,000.
How will we know it is over?
Like for Europe, when all cause excess deaths are at normal levels for week is a basic prediction.
Reported COVID19 deaths may continue after 25 Aug. and
reported cases will, but it will be over. twitter.com/mlevitt_np2013…
Editor 9/25/20: Recent Increases Has proved this very optimistic prediction wrong.
Now he is predicting about 700 per million or 231 million in US.

5 Qs to ask when deciding whether to send your child back to school:
1) Level of #covid19 in community?
2) Child's & family risk?
3) Safety protocols in place?
4) Is there virtual option?
5) Specific needs for family?

What doctors have learned about fighting COVID-19: Reuters

Patients are at increased risk of blood clots, and blood thinning agents can help.

"Proning" - putting patients on their stomachs to relieve pressure on the lungs - can stave off the need for mechanical ventilation.

Besides the respiratory system and lungs, the coronavirus can attack many other organs, including the heart, liver, kidneys, and brain.

The most promising treatments so far seem to be the anti-viral remdesivir; dexamethasone, a steroid to treat the body's inflammatory response to COVID-19; and plasma donated by patients who have antibodies to the disease.

More widespread testing and quicker results helps relieve pressure on hospitals.

Information-sharing among health professionals worldwide is crucial.

Prevention is critical. Doctors are relying on the public to do their part with good hygiene, masks and social distancing.

Some of the biggest unknowns:

Exactly which treatments will work for which patients.

How quickly some treatments will gain widespread distribution, especially remdesivir.

How long it will take for COVID-19 patients to recover.

The long-term effects of the infection.

Coronavirus News You May Have

Trump illogical rants need to be discussed.

Trump: Testing just indicates more cases.

Media Interpretation" Testing causes sickness.

Reality: Sickness is what it is. Testing is of some interest but number one interest is rates of change for hospitalizations, ventilation patents and fatilities.
New confirmed\cases really can not be compared. US vs. Europe graph.
