Those recent date numbers will grow as more deaths are added. Deaths are not declining.

And honestly, didn’t we play the gotcha game for 8+ months now with various stats? Pick a stat that looks less bad and focus on that, then change when that goes bad. I think it’s time people give up trying to downplay the pandemic. We’re way past that point.

I keeping coming back to things are happening exactly as the experts warned they would happen. It would seem to me that the best way out of this is to start listening to the experts. If they know something about how it's falling a part. They might just know something about how to put it back together.

I pray this happens soon, unfortunately our best chance to change course on this does not assume power until late January...

Fun with math.

South Dakota reported 58 deaths today. Not a lot, right? ~885,000 people live in South Dakota. If that rate were applied to the US, as a whole, and 330 million people. That would be like reporting the deaths of 21,625 people on one day.

Yesterday's total was 27. Let's really hope the 58 represents a backlog and not a doubling.

Numbers are out - there were 44 new reported deaths.

9.95 Holy and a string of bad words Does the lower amount of testing have to do with Eta?

I think that makes sense. The cases reported today are probably a lot of tests done 3-5 days ago and they did close some testing centers earlier in the week. Lets hope that’s the case. If not it may be time for a change in plans now. Waiting until FL got to 10,000+ cases a day to pull back worked so well the last time

There is certainly zero public acknowledgment from elected officials at the national level of what is going on right now. Just what won't happen before January 20 and that a vaccine is coming (six months down the road). It's every state for itself and we all will need to buckle in. Of course, those who don't believe that restrictions do any good don't think we can do anything to stave this off anyway. It's a fatalism that will prove fatal.

All that ever was here is a person with a clicker counts ins and no one is counting outs. HD did a better job and they hate masks. More theatre but for Black Friday? SURE!

Costco in my location counted in and out. I haven't been to a Walmart in a long time to know what they were doing. (I realize peopel buy groceries at Walmart, but for all else - ship!)

My Walmart has a decent selection of organic produce, gluten and dairy free and my favorite shampoo/conditioner so it's one of the "better" places for groceries and near Wegman's. Makes my life easier as shopping with allergies stinks in the best of times

Walmart already requires masks so why would capacity limits be so exciting?

Besides, Walmart and other retail stores are among the lowest risk places. Nobody in the store spends more than a few seconds within six feet of another person except maybe in the checkout line if people don't follow the markings. Even there it isn't the 15 minutes considered high risk by the CDC.

This is purely a PR move to get people who are scared to feel comfortable shopping there.

They did a really good job with this in Socal. Almost every store I went into in the spring/early summer did an excellent job at managing people coming in and out.

The last few times I have gone into target or other stores they've been a mad house.
