Positivity Rate
Antigen Positivity Rate had a bunch of revisions, but still is trying to crest. PCR Positivity doesn't look to be far behind. Is 20% the magic number, as it has been in 2020 Summer and Winter waves, or will it crest below that?

You are not going to believe this one (or maybe you will), but bear with me. I had to triple check my figures on this just to reassure myself it was true.

Last night the esteemed @BBCHughPym, BBC health editor since March 2014, ran a seemingly alarming story about the Covid-19 situation in the North East, as you can see below.
With interviews from a respiratory consultant, medical director, elected city mayor, and local resident.

It featured as a segment on the 6 o’clock news, 10 o’clock news, @BBCNEandCumbria, as well as being one of the top stories online (see screenshot).
I have no way of calculating the audience reach but we can safely assume it was into the millions, nationwide and regionally.

Look at the ascension in hospitalizations, adding >10,000 in a week, surpassing the first 2 surges, and no limit is sight.
The cases are going vertical
Not to detract from the celebration BUT
We just had >128,000 new US infections, another new record.
The hospitalizations continue to rise to almost 59,000 ()(~1,000 more since yesterday)
1,097 more people died.

The rise in cases is limitless unless we take aggressive action, which of course should have been initiated months ago. But it's never too late.
1/ Maybe we are detecting too many asymptomatic cases, people with non infectious viral remnants, and acknowledge a low case fatality rate. People suggest a #casedemic, yet we hear of a lot of European countries now struggling with hospitalised Covid patients
2/ I read one article which seems very convincing about the low risk of Covid 19. Other papers suggesting a far higher level of T-cell immunity. Data to suggest this coronavirus is no worse than seasonal flu. And that data seems very convincing
3/ And then I see news from Europe whose healthcare systems are overrun (France data today), worrying data of concerning numbers of sick Covid patients.
COVID deaths & hospitalizations always lag cases. The lag has been demonstrated, is often đť—şđť—Ľđť—żđť—˛ than a month, and its timing can be predicted accurately (I have done it.) The #casedemic folks are just, well, wrong.
A thread explaining the lag with real-world examples.

I will show what causes the lag, and how I can predict it accurately. First, there are multiple causes behind it:

#2 reporting

Lag #1 is the most obvious: clinically the mean infection-to-death time is 22.9 days (see pg 4: static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1…)
So at minimum deaths will lag cases by a little over 3 weeks
Similarly, infection-to-hospitalization is 1-2 weeks

This is a followup to my thread yesterday to help the public understand better what is going on in Toronto (and Ottawa, Peel, and the rest of Ontario). I am going to focus on what everyone needs to understand about the ON testing fiasco (which is being played out elsewhere too)
First: I get my data from @jkwan_md @imgrund @JPSoucy @ishaberry2 to support my understanding. They get it primarily from publicly available sources, and make the data easy to understand.
Second: our daily case # in ON are artificially low (by ~330) because of the backlog.

When is the Covid #Casedemic going to end? Why have we decided that a positive case is worth canceling events, quarantines and school closures? The data and the science just do not support this.

Covid survival rates for infected people by age group:
0-19 years 99.997%
20-49 years 99.98%
50-69 years 99.5%
70+ years 94.6%
Children to not die of Covid and neither do young adults. Also they are usually asymptomatic and children are not significant transmitters.

According to the CDC 94% of deaths have an average of 2.6 comorbidities. This does not mean that only 6% died of Covid. It does mean only 6% ONLY had Covid. In those 94% who died WITH Covid it may or may not have been a major cause. It is hard to make a definitive statement.

It's forgivable to have an initial overreaction to #COVID19 where data is scarce and inconsistent. It's unforgivable, however, to double down on these policies that are proven to be an overwhelming failure to attempt to cover up what you have done.
1.4 million more global TB deaths according to the NYT, 6000 more children will die per day according to UNICEF thanks to the lockdown’s disruptions. People are dying and will die in a proportion far larger than COVID because of politicians’ fragile egos. It’s not all about jobs.
To quote @sdbaral, human beings are more than just vectors for disease. And they are more than vectors for this ONE disease. Decades of progress are being lost in crucial global health issues for a virus that is burning out throughout the world. But the #casedemic continues.

DeSantis really strong railing against #casedemic. Asking how many of these "cases" reported by the media RE: schools, actually end up hospitalized?
Atlas quoting JAMA on the risk of seasonal influenza being more risk to young people than Covid-19. High-risk people need to mitigate, but low-risk people need to be allowed to function.
Saying that asymptomatic testing is not the way forward on this.
Great stuff!!!
Saying that asymptomatic testing is not the way forward on this.
Great stuff!!!
I repeat: The big lie being perpetuated is that students testing positive from PCR is that this somehow is due to their behavior on campus. You could’ve been exposed to COVID 8 weeks ago, haven’t been infectious for 6, but now that they’re testing every student it’s an “outbreak”
Case numbers are useless. PCR tests no longer reflect the actual burden of COVID-19 on the United States. People need to wake up and realize this has turned into a #casedemic.
Schools across the country have been open for weeks. No huge spikes in their communities. Europe, when many countries are seeing a “second wave” of cases, are opening schools. Sweden kept theirs open, no one under 20 died. They found teachers at same risk as grocery store workers
Inspired by others taking this approach, I've made charts for Ontario, Canada.
There is little apparent relationship now between new reported Covid-19 cases and deaths or ICU admissions.
