Except that hospitalizations include those that got it while in the hospital or nursing facility and are still there. That is a huge number, as our hospital and nursing facility employees are the biggest spreaders of the disease within institutions.Their decisions should be based on projections for the near and intermediate future. Deaths are a lagging indicator, and the reporting isn’t at all timely. I prefer hospitalizations. It’s the only “real time” number we have.

The key is how many positive cases and how many are not hospitalized or die. That's the key.

Annual Death - Statistics & Facts

So, how do you want to live?
The other thing, that some are worried about, is when the flu season hits this fall. If you have the flu, will you then be more susceptible to severe symptoms or death from covid?
No one knows for sure yet.
I don't think that fear would be enough to cancel an attempt at having fall football, but it might contribute to calling off the season before it finishes.
We will see. As was said before, I do believe they're going to try it. Just hope no one dies or suffers greatly because it.
Baseball season and summer camps for young people are an examples of what could happen to college football.
An erudite baseball player said that sports are a reward for a functional society and we do not have a functional society.
The fight over something as simple and effective as wearing a mask is a perfect example of a dysfunctional society.
Masks aren’t a cure, but they can slow the spread. If it saves even 1000 lives, from now until the vaccine is widely available by Q2 next year, then it’s absolutely worth it to strip away the “freedom” to not to wear a mask, from every American.The virus is still spreading in mask wearing societies. Have you checked Japan lately? There’s no stopping it once it gets a head of steam. If you think locking everyone in their homes for weeks is the answer, you are wrong about that too.
Masks and avoiding crowds are the only arrows in our quiver.The virus is still spreading in mask wearing societies. Have you checked Japan lately? There’s no stopping it once it gets a head of steam. If you think locking everyone in their homes for weeks is the answer, you are wrong about that too.
Go hide in a hole you pathetic fear monger.
And there is even more from the common flu. Get a clue.
Compare the per capita incidence and death rate in Japan with the USA and you will see how false your statement is.
I’m still trying to figure out what part of my comment is false. Help me out. Here’s what I said....
“The virus is still spreading in mask wearing societies. Have you checked Japan lately?”
I don’t know where they will end up, but it appears to be just getting started. I constantly see people claiming, “if we would all just wear masks for 4-6 weeks, we could beat this thing.” I don’t think so. I do wear one, so don’t worry about me.

Pretty early to be hitting the Kool-AidThe clue you need is that they are counting every death as a COVID death when most are not due to covid
Never too early me boi!Pretty early to be hitting the Kool-Aid
Minnesota had 159 Covid deaths in July
Can't beat it with masks alone, but can slow it.I’m still trying to figure out what part of my comment is false. Help me out. Here’s what I said....

It all points to: they're going to try to have a season, money dictates it, but it's very unlikely they'll be able to finish it.
