#12   Kentucky sees coronavirus cases surge 60% in a week and Minnesota's are up 50% as 19 states continue to see infections rise despite the majority of the US now lifting lockdown measures

How much of that surge is an artifact of increased testing? Tell me about changes in hospitalization and excess death numbers, O Journalists.

#11  as Lex points out there are many problems with the data

the only two things that are probably accurate enough for detailed analysis and hospitalizations and number of tests

with respect to deaths in nursing homes attributable to the Wu, the number of expected deaths is reasonably calculated based on prior experience and the number above that is reasonably
attributed to the Wu

that is not the case in the general population as indirect causation is significant, e.g., fewer auto accident deaths, more depression related suicides

#5  The Over-reaction of the lockdown saw hospitals emptied into nursing homes bringing the COVID to those it would be most deadly for.

The lack of demand for ventilators and ICU means those people died in a home and no effort was made to try and treat them.

They are the victims of the COVID reaction, not the disease.

#4  #2 I saw an analysis that said that NY State had 5% of patients in nursing homes die from the WU.

#2  I saw an analysis that said that NY State had 5% of patients in nursing homes die from the WU.

Same analysis had the NJ figure at 10% and Mass and Penn and Conn were in same ballpark.

USA has about 1.5 million people in nursing homes and another 1.0 million in assisted living.
