Wisconsin shouldn't be having sports and wouldn't be if the supreme court hadn't destroyed the governor's powers.

Fear of death is human and normal. Pretending you're not afraid because you think your interpretation of the Bible or whatever religious text is the correct one doesn't make you morally superior to anyone else. Heck, even if you aren't afraid and embrace death, that's still not morally superior to anyone else. And, of course, as has been said time and and time again, it's about protecting others, too. And the Bible has a whole lot of very straightforward stuff to say about how to treat others.

The updated numbers for COVID-19 in the U.S. are in for 7/29 per: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

I'm keeping track of these updates daily and updating at the end of the day, whenever all states finish reporting for that day.

New - Substituting the Δ Change metric as of 7/13 on dates starting from 7/5:
ΔW Change: Comparisons of Weekly Day-to-day Growth or Decline of COVID-19 Spread/Deaths.
  • IE: Comparing the numbers to the same day of last week, are we flattening the curve enough?

Σ Increase: A day's contribution to overall percentage growth of COVID-19 cases/deaths.
  • IE: What's the overall change in the total?

Older Numbers (Hidden in spoiler mode to make the post more compact)


7/19: <Sunday>

More than one American per minute died of COVID-19 today (and yesterday), and the upwards trend has not stopped going up for daily COVID-19 deaths this week. Sigh.

The number of new cases just started to drop slightly this week. This means we likely have another couple weeks before the deaths start to decrease.

Yes, Mark Curran is the winner of the GOP primary and is running against Sen. Durbin.

That's essentially a suicide bomber's logic.

She's only just now mandating that??

She made the mistake of believing that congresspeople are responsible adults.


That's just stupid of her then.

Certainly so. It's appalling to me that there are so many bigoted and shockingly ignorant people in Congress-Gohmert is only one of many. Many members are given to conspiracy theories, disseminate misinformation on their official accounts and through their media appearances, and have absolutely insane policy views. Both sides have their bad apples, but it seems increasingly obvious that such "bad apples" are overwhelmingly concentrated on the Republican side of the aisle.

Austrian economy slumps by 10.7% in Q2 as coronavirus bites

Quote
July 30 (Reuters) - The Austrian economy shrank by 10.7% in the second quarter, marking its biggest contraction since World War Two, as the coronavirus pandemic hit both domestic and foreign demand, think tank Wifo said on Thursday.

Wifo, which compiles data for the government, said the most heavily affected sectors included retail, hotels, restaurants, sports and entertainment.

When compared to the prior-year period, second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) declined by 12.8% in real terms.

I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet, but I wanted to provide a link to Dr. Fauci's comments the other day about the potential benefits of donning eye protection (i.e. goggles, the like) to help limit the spread of coronavirus: https://abcnews.go.com/US/dr-fauci-wear-goggles-eye-shields-prevent-spread/story?id=72059055?id=72059055&amp_js_v=0.1&usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA=&cid=referral_taboola_feed. At my stepmother's job, they've been requiring employees to wear both masks and face shields for about a week or so now. Now that our medical experts are starting to recommend it, I wonder if this will become a more widespread practice.

My county isn't everywhere, but, according to the TN DOH dashboard (which uses a 4 day rolling average, as TN has little day of the week bias), Williamson County is now down 65% from our peak about two weeks ago.  It's the lowest average it's been in a month.

I won't go this far, but it can be ironic when people say things that ultimately rebound on that. As you know, many people have downplayed the severity of this virus, and have suffered or died from it. Hopefully, we'll see the numbers of these deniers decline over time.

As for myself, I wear eyeglasses, and have worn them since seventh grade. So I can sympathize somewhat on that level.

Is this implying that we should continue with online learning this fall? I'm not sure how sustainable that will be, especially given the demonstrated inferiority of online to in-person instruction, the difficulties associated with working families finding time to superintend their children's studies, and concerns related to school lunches, achievement gaps, childhood poverty, domestic violence, and all the rest. It seems like we are in a losing situation here.
