NO FANS AT CYCLONE GAMES?

- Start date
No way of knowing since it's not reported. New Jersey started reporting yesterday and that added around 1800 to their total.
Really?

"We don't think it will be a problem in the short term".
Every living thing mutates - that is how the abundance of life on earth came to be. That doesn't mean everything mutates at the same rate.
That was a 14% increase, if we apply that 14% increase to the 59 deaths we get 67.26. Lets round that to 70 even. That gives us 1 death in 2,500. Even if you question there is 10X greater the number of infected than reported and you estimate that at 5 or .7X, that gives a range of 1 in 1,250 or 1 in 1,875 mortality rate for that same age group in Florida. Again, he tells us 5% of hospitalized people in that age group are dying.
Which is a more relevant number to the population of 35-44 year olds in Florida?
Its data about the same subset of people its just how its reported to people.
Well s*** mad.......if only you knew that the common cold is a weakened form of COVID and can knock down the immune system which could lead to bacterial pneumonia in elderly people I would think you were the tin man. But of course, that's if you knew. But hey......keep that COVID scorecard close at hand!
Is that the only age group in Florida? Why are you talking about one age group only?
Because that was one age group we had the data and we could clearly show 2 different ways at looking at the same data, it was just how it was chosen to be displayed. Also, Florida is a reported hot spot. If the numbers are available it would be good to do for each age group and get a true concern to each age group. I think we should look at later and get the numbers for each age group, I have to go somewhere now.

How would you know what I do or don't know if you didn't ask instead of assuming?
I do know that. They're all versions of a coronavirus. Someone can die from them if they're already in a bad spot. Not new information here. They're just not as strong or as transmittable, which is kind of a problem with this one.
Maybe the o.g. SARS's vaccine that was on its way before it waned off will provide some good use for this current one.
Perhaps it is a relative thing. I think it is true that RNA viruses tend to mutate relatively quickly, but I know I've read numerous articles that suggested SARS-CoV-2 has been "unusually" slow to do so. I'm too lazy to look right now--heading out the door. And no, they were were not peer-reviewed scientific journal articles.
This Coronavirus Doesn't Change Quickly, And That's Good News For Vaccine Makers
"There's nothing alarming about the way the coronavirus is mutating or the speed at which it's mutating," says Emma Hodcroft, a molecular epidemiologist at the University of Basel in Switzerland. "We don't think this will be a problem [for vaccines] in the short term."
"To date, there have been very few mutations observed," says Peter Thielen, a senior scientist at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. "And any mutations that we do see are likely not having an effect on the function of the virus itself."
"The targets for vaccine design today remain the same as we would have designed them in January," he says.

Is it usually for the better, i.e. less effective?
Also, any idea of how long it generally takes to mutate to a lesser level?
I think I quoted/replied to you another time, but SARS 1.0 waned off after 1.5 years iirc.
