Much lower than they were in April.
Do you think the outbreak was worse during the time shown in the red circle, or the blue circle? You seem to think it was worse during the blue circle, because there were more positive cases found.

They were with a group, and stopped their looking to talk to me. It was spectacular.
But hey, we've got heroes like you here looking out for us. It's all good.
And thank god we have the mask police here to report these things.
He asked about Iowa not the United States. I'm guessing you knew that but you like to mislead.
Iowa has been heading back up in cases hospitalizations and deaths and given the skyrocketing in cases the hospitalizations and deaths are likely to follow the same trend a couple weeks delayed.
For those going to the games this year, just in case something does happen Covid wise, could you put me in your will to take over your football tickets? I would hate to see all those points and seat locations go to waste. TIA!!
BTW- We deferred last week already.

Instantly closed their borders to Chinese travelers, yes.Taiwan instantly closed their borders to Chinese travelers. They essentially missed the wave. So it wasnt the silver bullet of masks. They were restricting flights from China in 2019. They had highly efficient quarantine procedures for entrants. Ever heard of living on an island?

Remind me. Did they also restrict the travel of the millions of Taiwanese who work on the mainland?
Even though I think it's odd for a national hotspot state to have this development...you can easily argue it's unfair to compare ISU having 25k fans to NHL/MLB/NBA having zero combined. The situations are pretty different.
NHL and NBA being inside right away make them a different animal.
Even the MLB's shortened season is 40-50 home games with several games every week. That's a ton more risk for community spread than 5 games spread over 3 months. I think for MLB to have fans at a similar risk to what ISU is trying do do they'd need to limit fans to something like 1000 per game...to do that they'd probably have to charge a premium price to select few and that's horrible optics that are worse than just having no fans.
It'll be really interesting to see what NFL does.
NFL stadiums allowing 25k and trying to stop tailgating really wouldn't be much different than what ISU is doing.

I'm saying the "Deaths are down YEAH!!!" crowd in June were morons. Nothing you're showing me there contradicts that.
We also know (you are well informed unlike others who have ignorance as an excuse) a lot of that improvement is the Northeast and I was talking about Iowa in terms of having massive events during a spike.

Yeah, that just doesn't strike me as "we're in the best shape we've been so lets hold events of 25K people who travel from around the state".
That looks like a state that is on its way to the worst shape it has been in.
I wish the numbers suggested Iowa should totally open up. I want a packed JTS which is why I was so heartbroken that half the country raged against masks the entire spring and most of the summer.

I saw an Australia rules football game the other night and I'm pretty sure it was live. Looked like they had fans just up in the upper deck of the stadium and they were moving around quite a bit. Seemed like they were pretty clustered too.
I still don't have any idea how that game is played. Sometimes you catch the ball, everyone tries to tackle you, then the next time you catch it, and everyone runs away like you have dynamite strapped to your chest.

I saw a lady in target on Saturday wearing a mesh mask.
I’m just here for the meltdown
When you see that you can't even begin to guess if it's a moron who thinks that works, or a moron who thinks a normal effective mask is going to suffocate her.
How many “don’t go if you don’t like it posts” have I missed in jumping over 5 pages of this thread?
My point is we don't know its a spike because measured positive cases haven't been accurate for the entire pandemic. Could it be a spike? Possibly, but reported cases aren't the metric to show that. Hospitalizations are far below what they were in April in the state.
No, I was talking about Iowa. Hospitalizations are about 75% of the peak in April/May and ICU is about 55% of the peak in April/May.
