1. A grim milestone which Trump marked by saying it was going to disappear soon

Again. On Foxnews.

2. That is really likely around a half million today as testing only catches about 1 in 10 cases. nt

5. Maybe the high positivity make it less worse

I think I read that the percentage of people who are tested and tested positively was unexpectedly higher.

Would it be valid to do something like the positivity rate was say 33% so maybe it’s 50*3=150k?

It’s horrible either way.

I always struggle with probability so just asking.

3. Saw it on Worldometers just now.

4. Meanwhile, at a local recreation center...

... I saw soccer and baseball being played by kids, with the adults jammed together without masks as they yelled and cheered.

I'm in SW Ohio where the infections are already known to be increasing too.

So absolutely ridiculous!
