Interesting but with the election a bit over five months away would Trump want to be seen as less than totally in charge?The Disaffected Libhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13135599782685108764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-82233559729640166022020-05-23T08:27:31.080-07:002020-05-23T08:27:31.080-07:00Gordie, from what I've read it's not a &qu...<br />Gordie, from what I've read it's not a "stop/start" affair. Waves have peaks and troughs, highs and lows. One wave ends when it stops declining and the next wave begins when the infection rates shoot up again.<br /><br />We've fought this thing quite well out here but I haven't met anyone who claims it's over or that we're out of the weeds. There will be more cases during the summer. If we're diligent perhaps we can keep that to a trickle but there's no certainty on that either. No one is getting smug but, beyond the chronic hypochondriacs, no one is despairing either. <br /><br />If there is a magic bullet it will be in the form of a vaccine but until then we're all at risk and working hard to manage that risk. My parents taught me that sort of approach was just sensible.The Disaffected Libhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13135599782685108764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-69361522298034978762020-05-23T06:29:59.352-07:002020-05-23T06:29:59.352-07:00Rumours this morning about putting Pompeo in charg...Rumours this morning about putting Pompeo in charge.

I'm looking at the number of new cases being identified each day for the United States, and it doesn't look to me like the numbers are letting up at all....<br /><br />From latter March right up to now it looks like there's been about 20,000 cases being added every day....some variance up and down of course, but overall pretty steady as testing keeps ramping up. The United States has done about 13.9 million tests, or a little over 42K per 1 million of population...which is basically the same level that's been achieved in Germany and a bit better than what we've done in Canada (37K per million). <br /><br />I think it goes without saying that on a national basis, for a second wave to come the initial wave has to end first and this one hasn't yet....maybe this will just become something on-going that we'll have to simply deal with as some epidemiologists and infectious disease experts are suggesting is possible...Gordie Canukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11889201338151732092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-24051781014261034672020-05-22T15:50:34.908-07:002020-05-22T15:50:34.908-07:00
