I am sure that the same is for most of European countries. Considering the length of the incubation period, the virus took a full month before the tip of the iceberg became evident in Europe at the end of February. I hope that the same won't happen again, testing suspected people as soon as possible, now that despite of February we know the virus is here, and we know the consequences.

Yeah. I think the whole world learned from this tho. Asian countries learned from it with SARS mostly. But was relative "small" in the end.
Alot of countries will have way better protocols ready and will be way more alert for many years. Still a long way to go tho. Until a vaccin i guess.

Cuomo saying anyone who has been to a protest is eligible for a free test and has a civic duty to take one.

How long after your infected would you test positive for it? Does it take a few days or is it instant?

At one point it was potentially a few days, but I don't know if that was true or if tests are more sensitive now.

I'm sure the testing stations advise people about what to do.

And this is just the re-opening spike.

And we can't even be sure the numbers aren't higher due to states purposefully attributing obvious spikes in deaths to "pneumonia" and other causes. Which will continue to happen in order to "prove" opening up too early wasn't dangerous.

Texas really wants that 2nd wave party!

Meanwhile AZ has been getting more positives since Monday.

IL is the state following the CDC guidelines closest, so I can feel good about that. But people still seem to in general be ignoring a lot of it. Also so many people out with masks on not covering their nose, which defeats the mask.

I understand the urge to say the hell with it, i'ts been 3 months and I can't stand it anymore. But in the end if it's saving lives you just gotta do it. At least people can be out. Just wear the damn masks correctly. It's not like anyone has an N95 mask. blue masks don't restrict breathing through your nose. I think a major issue is people think the masks are for themselves. They aren't - they are for you spreading to others. Just because you don't have symptoms doesn't mean you don't have it. They just found out Floyd was a carrier but didn't have symptoms, for instance.

Huge milestone today, hospitalizations are under 2k, which is a 89%+ reduction since April 15. There were NO new hospitalizations in North or Central jersey yesterday.

Also some more details on the retail re-opening

Good god, I had one of my first ventures out, kinda. It was anniversary with my wife so we ordered ice cream pickup at a local place we love. Got there and they were so busy they weren't answering the phone so I went in. All four workers had masks but none were wearing them. They were all down by their neck. And almost no customers were wearing them either. All told about 30+ adults in and out and through and three including me were wearing masks properly. The place also had about 20 people in at once.

Yes, instead of the mask makes me less of a man, it is my infant only has one 2 year birthday, or my 5th grader only graduates middle school once.

Testing is pretty strong right now. Colorado is offering to test anybody who comes to the Pepsi Center for free and is strongly encouraging anybody who has been protesting to do so.

That's actually crazy. Those pictures were so frightening all those people packed together. I wonder if this means we won't see as big of a resurgence from the protests? Let's hope so. Also spoke to someone yesterday who said if we don't see an uptick in cases from the protests then this was all way overblown. Over 100,000 deaths in the US and climbing but sure, definitely overblown

Yea that kind of thinking might cause an issue in fall/winter when more people are indoors. Still have to remember there are no large indoor events happening and lots of people are still working from home. If those restrictions gets removed then who knows. We've seen how this spreads uncontrolled

That is a big jump in hospitalised cases. Also, Lisbon is gonna keep some lockdown measures in place until June 15, as expected.

CT has now passed 4000 deaths. Daily positivity rate is just under 3%, with 148 new cases, lowest it's been. Net hospitalizations are still dropping. Daily deaths at 18, still too high but we will continue go hope for lower.

Deleted member 32822 · Jun 4, 2020

Zero deaths in NYC today. Incredible.

FWIW: I went to one of the largest protest gatherings in the city today. I did not see a single person without a mask on. If the transmission from Ozarks was minuscule, I really hope that everyone wearing a mask here makes a big difference.

it makes a big difference, plus protests are outdoors

Just massively uncomfortable. Feels like they're poking your brain.

But to be clear, it's worth it to endure and in turn ease your mind and protect yourself from potentially spreading it to others.

RocknRola · Jun 5, 2020

Portugal:

33.969 confirmed cases.
+ 377 since yesterday. 1.1% growth. ( 336 of which are in the Lisbon region)
1.465 deaths.
+ 10 since yesterday.
20.526 recoveries.
+ 203 since yesterday.

475 people hospitalised.
+ 30 since yesterday.
64 in the ICU.
+ 6 since yesterday.

---------

So, in short, Lisbon is driving the growth of the cases, hospitalisations and ICU cases in the country. While the later two are still thankfully very low, a mere 2-3 days ago they were much lower...

New York City reports first day with no confirmed coronavirus deaths since March 11

The milestone represents a turning point in the country's epidemic, as restrictions on individual movement and businesses have driven down the spread of the virus in the hardest-hit cities such as New York.

As for our numbers

Who all is coming to Casinos? Are these out of state people?! Man, we were doing SO GOOD on cases and trending down. One of our hospitals reported 0 COVID cases coming in for the first time ever, but I feel these public gathers are gonna spike it up

I just want to die, seeing America having almost the same timeframe as Brazil and America seemingly has managed to get better and better, 7 cases in a day for Vegas?? No deaths in NYC??

Meanwhile we have 500 deaths in Sao Paulo only, 1439 deaths in total for yesterday and record breaking confirmed cases number every single day.

I just... this is never going to end, people in power are too stupid, why do I even wake up hopeful that things may be better.

Vegas numbers are gonna be all kinds of fudged up cause so many of the folks are just gonna be taking the virus with them to other states and not actual residents. So while it doesn't look bad for the city, it's a huge transmission site for the virus. Most people in vegas at these casinos are out of towners, they just gonna be taking it with them while Vegas is going to be like "see it's not that bad"

A new update

A report said that there are at least 712 deaths not counted in the official reports. Yesterday, health minister said it's not right. Today, it's saying it might be right

That would make it 2.160 total deaths, at least. It's still not in the official report though
