US coronavirus deaths could reach more than 220K by November

U.S. coronavirus deaths are projected to reach more than 220,000 by the beginning of November as many states continue to report a surge in new cases and hospitalizations.

The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington estimates 224,089 fatalities from COVID-19 by Nov. 1, which is roughly 90,000 more than the current number of deaths in the U.S.

However, the IHME says that if 95% of Americans wore masks when leaving their homes, the number of projected fatalities would drop by more than 40,000.
 
Tom Hanks says coronavirus made his bones feel like ‘soda crackers’

During the virtual interview, the 64-year-old told host Stephen Colbert his bones “felt like they were made of soda crackers,” over the eight or nine day recuperation period.

“Every time I moved around I felt like something was cracking inside,” described the Oscar Winner, who also reported feeling “bone-crushing fatigue” and soreness.

Meanwhile, his wife, Rita Wilson, 63, reportedly experienced a high fever, headaches and had lost her sense of smell and taste because of the virus.

Due to the severe symptoms, the couple were briefly hospitalized before they were allowed to quarantine together in a rented home.

Unfortunately, Hanks claims he still has no idea how or where he contracted COVID-19, or if he’s immune to the disease.

“No one really knows what the X factor is,” said the Cecil B. DeMille award winner, who has twice donated plasma to aid the fight against COVID-19.

Hanks has been outspoken about his battle with the disease and the threat it poses, regularly posting updates on social media while in lockdown. Most recently, the “Saving Private Ryan” actor lambasted the US response to the pandemic during a damning interview earlier this month.

“There’s a darkness on the edge of town here, folks,” he said. “Let’s not confuse the fact. It’s killing people . . . You can say, ‘Well, traffic accidents kill a lot of people too.’ But traffic accidents happen because a lot of drivers aren’t doing their part. They’re not using their turn signals. They’re driving too fast, they’re not paying attention.”

NJ has begun reporting probable deaths. I live here and am not traumatized. Maybe I’m missing something.
New Jersey Coronavirus Map and Case Count

Latest CDC numbers on the rate of deaths with COVID-19 per population as of July 14, 2020 set forth below. Note that the CDC reports counts for New York City and New York state aseparately, so data for New York State shows deaths for the State excluding data for NYC.

The rate for New York City continues to possibly be the worst death rate for any location in the world. New York City's death rate is:
about 10 times the death rate of Georgia--which was one of the first states to reopen;
more than 20 times the death rate of South Dakota--which never really closed;
more than 13 times the death rate in Florida;
more than 25 times the death rate in Texas; and
about 9 times the death rate in Arizona.

The greater NYC metro region including NJ, CT, MA, and RI continues to be way way out ahead of everywhere else in the country in deaths per population.

State/Territory Death Rate per 100,000
New York City* 277.9

Why would we need to see the data from HHS when we can see it via other sites?
 
Philly’s coronavirus back-to-school plan: no full reopening, most students in class 2 days

City schools will reopen in September, but not fully, with most children attending in-person classes two days a week as officials attempt to balance public health and the education of 125,000 students during a coronavirus outbreak.

Each of the district’s 200-plus schools will develop its own operations plan to execute the district’s broad guidelines, including: social distancing, all staff and students in masks or face shields, a ban on nonessential visitors, and meals mostly eaten in classrooms. The school system pledged increased scrubbing and sanitizing of classrooms and adequate supplies and ventilation inside its buildings, but said it would not conduct temperature checks, instead relying on students and staff to self screen for health problems.

Classroom capacity will be limited to 25 people “when feasible.” When students cannot be six feet apart, plexiglass barriers will be “prioritized.” Student desks should face forward — though at many schools, students now sit in groups at tables.

English, math, art, music and physical education will be prioritized for face-to-face learning, meaning such subjects as social studies and foreign language could be fully remote. The district also said career and technical education classes may become in-person.

Families have the option of all-online learning.

yes, BUT-
Florida's numbers are so fradulent. We've been battling transparency here since the virus started. So many different methods the state/Gov. has tried to muzzle the public reporters of numbers of cases and deaths.
It's way worse than reports from our Fl. Dept. of Health numbers because our Governor has
taken his cues from WH to minimize the serious surge of cases and deaths.
Here's just one example where he muzzled the
county medical examiners from reporting
the numbers of Covid deaths. reporters had
to get this info from state Dept. of Health, who
Governor controlled. When head scientist for
state Dept. of Health balked at fudging the numbers, the Governor fired her.
My point is, C-19 in Florida is way worse than
reported. But how do you attract tourists back to Florida if your state is one big petri-dush?
How do you justify opening schools on Aug. 10th? Or allowing restaurants to stay open?
So don't believe Florida figures, they're way worse and many residents know it.
Florida officials are no longer publishing the state's medical examiners' coronavirus death data
 
Philadelphia has over 27,000 cases of the coronavirus. The city's positivity rate stands at about 5%. Nationally, the overall test-positivity rate is 9.5%.

People under the age of 30 have accounted for 40% of new cases in Philadelphia, as the Mayor announced that large public events will be banned through Feb. 28, 2021.

Banned events include parades, concerts, fairs and block parties. The ban does not apply to demonstrations and first amendment activities.

Why the no music after 9pm? Is that just business venues or everyone?
 
Masks and Mickey: Disneyland Paris reopens after four-month closure

Disneyland Paris opened its doors for the first time in four months today with compulsory masks, socially-distanced queues and hundreds of hand-washing stations scattered around the park.

The theme park closed on March 12 as the coronavirus pandemic started to spiral out of control in Europe, but began its 'phased re-opening' today with visitor numbers limited by an online reservation system.

Some rides remain closed while playgrounds and make-up workshops are also out of action.

__

Paris has also re-opened the top floor of the Eiffel Tower today as France tries to revive its £50billion tourism industry after the lockdown.

British tourists can now travel to France again without facing a 14-day quarantine, after the French government lifted the measure in response to the UK easing its own travel restrictions.

Do you have even a guess as to what they might be? I'm really not understanding all the people heading off for Florida vacations right now.
