Wake continues to do astoundingly well (knock on wood) for an urban county with over 1,000,000 people with regards to death totals.Daviewolf83 said:
In looking at deaths by county last week, I found some interesting details. If you look at the top 12 counties by number of deaths, there are several smaller counties reporting a larger than expected number of deaths for the week ending 11/14.
Gaston (18)
Forsyth (14)
Mecklenburg (12)
Carteret (9)
Catawba (7)
Cabarrus (6)
Wayne (6)
Beaufort (5)
Greene (5)
Iredell (5)
Lee (5)
Nash (5)
Conspicuous by their absence from the listing are Wake County and Durham County, with zero net deaths. Wake County did report two deaths during the period, but they also removed two previously reported deaths. For a county that size, even two deaths is small, considering it is the second largest county in NC. Also, there are 41 counties that reported no deaths for last week.
Interesting the went right to the counties. Which is all good.PackMom said:

If EUA could be issued 12/10 - knowing that distribution is already occurring, could patients begin to receive the first dose as early as 12/10?Daviewolf83 said:
Related to the two leading vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna), here is a timeline I just saw for possible Emergency Use Authorization:
1. Pfizer will apply for EUA within the week. As posted earlier, they are now showing 95% efficacy.
2. Moderna will apply for EUA around Thanksgiving.
3. FDA will hold a meeting with the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee December 8-10. Both applications could be considered at this time.
4. Potential EUA would be issued for both vaccines on 12/10.
I don't!!! You should advise everyone you know not to do so, regardless of President... God would be a welcome alternative.Civilized said:ciscopack said:

Out of respect for this thread and not going political, I deleted my original response.
Suffice it to say that the way the president communicates about pandemics and issues of national importance matters and Americans take their cues from the president.
The red up the middle of the Covid map looks very similar to the red up the middle of the election map....just saying. Then you hear of people dying with Covid-19 that thinks there is no such thing according to a nurse in North Dakota. Go figure.wilmwolf80 said:
Some Americans on one extreme take their cues form the president. About the same number of Americans do the exact opposite of whatever stance he takes. Let's not kid ourselves. The great majority of people in this country believe the virus is real, and the great majority are doing what they are told to try and limit it's spread. Saying otherwise is just dumb partisan bull***** Politicians on both sides are deep in some hypocritical bull with their virus policies and actions, there's no moral high ground here. We should be focusing on the vaccines, the new treatment options that we now know of, and continuing to do the small things we can that maybe keep the at-risk from getting infected.

Not when it is definitely connected to this subject! 1/8 million lives would be saved (125,000) in the last 9 months with competent health care and preaching science and more people would have worked at their jobs longer too....beyond a shadow of a doubt we'd be closer to normal now while still waiting for the vaccine. Donald Trump did an excellent job getting companies started on a vaccine and having them work harder and quicker than normal! Excellent job!WPNfamily said:ciscopack said:The red up the middle of the Covid map looks very similar to the red up the middle of the election map....just saying.

At some point will you disconnect from politics?
If you guessed that it is going up now, you'd be correct. My guess is that it will go up some more by then but go even higher the next 3-5 months after that time; but I think that's more of a scientific guess? In the US...it depends on us as to what happens.Quote:

So I am not really here (back Mon or Tues), but interesting that 1% of all ED visits last week were for ILI but there were zero positive flu tests in the state. Been some discussion nationally this week about flu suppression due to C19, follows the complete lack of a flu season in the Southern hemisphere. Will be interesting to watch if C19 is dominating flu. Flu dropped to zero in spring like a rock when C19 appeared.
I believe masks, social distancing, and washing hands will help with the flu this year. If more people get the flu vaccine (as it has been recommended) and we follow the guidelines for controlling the spread of Covid, it should definitely help to control the flu season.

Good time line. Aiming to get the EUA submitted and crossing the 1st finish line on 25Nov.
The goal is for everyone to leave their work computers powered off this Thanksgiving
Before you think you can turn off your computer for Thanksgiving, you better have all monitoring reports completed, all queries resolved and any filing current in the eTMF. Otherwise, there will be no logging off at 3:00 on Wednesday!sf59 said:Daviewolf83 said:

It would probably take something like a stake through the heart, or a silver bullet at this point... figuratively speaking only of course.wilmwolf80 said:
He's not capable of it. It's delusional at this point. There's a very large portion of the covid deaths from blue states that I could point to, but I don't because it doesn't matter, because it's a virus, and it doesn't care what your political beliefs are, or what party the governor belongs to.
I watched an interview with him a couple of weeks ago. For people who do not know, he is the former head of science at Pfizer. Given his education and professional background, I do take his views very seriously. In the interview I watched last week, he said if you are not a candidate to get a normal flu shot, you should not be trying to get the vaccine for Covid. He is very clear that the vaccine should be targeted to the older population and people with preexisting issues.Wayland said:

Can't really get into specifics but I heard government entities are expecting doses of the vaccine within the next 30 days.Daviewolf83 said:
