Where is our president when Americans are dropping like flies? We are going to end up with over 500k dead...

500k by when?  Even if G-d forbid there are 1k dead daily between now and when Biden takes office in less than 70 days, you don't get to 500k. Unless you're gonna say that everyone that dies from Covid until eternity is on Trump  ::).

Trying to mitigate spread is a state issue. The federal government pumped money into an unprecedented vaccine acceleration program, which appears to be bearing fruit. What do you expect POTUS to be doing at this point that you're dissatisfied with or think someone else would be doing better?

You're asking me? If yes, you're asking the wrong person. I totally agree with you.

I am mostly not dissatisfied with anything nor would I think someone else would have known to do anything better or different because this whole thing was so new and unknown. The vaccine acceleration is great provided it still remains 100% safe to take.

1k dead per day? We are almost at 2k dead per day and climbing. 140k cases a day projected to be 300k/day by 12/31.
Where is Trump? Not only did he waive the white flag but now he deserted us. I guess that is expected from a draft dodging coward!!!

I highly doubt anyone who said that, including myself, was saying it seriously. At least I know for myself I was being totally sarcastic because the that's what the liberals made it sound like - get Trump out of office (since he's completely manhandling the virus response), elect Biden, and poof COVID is gone.

Anyone with any bit of common sense would see and know that the virus is real and there is no way that would have happened. It was a progression for the virus to spread around the world (didn't happen from one day to the next) and it will be a progression to hopefully get rid of it.

Unfortunately, some people are completely convinced that Covid is D construct to scare and control the people. I know such people very personally. As you say, "anyone with common sense." Sense isn't as common as the phrase makes it seem.

We’re averaging more than 1K deaths a day for some time now and climbing. New cases are skyrocketing now and we should all know at this point that deaths lag by a few weeks.. last few days have been around 1,500 deaths a day. Looks like we’re headed fast to a worse place than we were at in late spring (as was predicted by health experts).

Most of those who were stating that opinion here were trying to insinuate that it’s a Democratic political plot that won’t be necessary once the elections are over.

I’m glad you have more sense than that, but unfortunately not everybody does.

Where are you getting your numbers from? I don't see almost 2k. Yesterday was under 1500. Today hasn't reached 1200 yet. I don't call that almost 2k. I sincerely hope we see the number of deaths going down since treatments have become much better and more effective. I also hope those most at risk from dying will take necessary precautions and those around them will take precautions as well. This will hopefully help mitigate deaths.

Just to put this in perspective, the highest number of deaths thus far occurred on April 21 with virus case counts being UNDER 30k daily in the surrounding days - there were over 2700 deaths that day with unfortunate similar numbers for a number of days surrounding until it finally started to decline.

Right now there are almost 5 times the number of cases daily and the deaths are about half of that. Needless to say yet again, 1 death is too many, but it says a lot about the progression we've made in treatments as well as perhaps the virus not being as aggressive now?

7 day avg is between 1100-1200 depending on today's final numbers. It is increasing steadily, and deaths lag 3-4 weeks behind cases. We'll probably hit 350k by Jan 1, and 500k sometime before Valentine's Day. I don't think we'll see 300k cases/day, though. I think we top out at around 250k for a couple of weeks in the beginning/mid Dec, with numbers starting to come down before the 25th.

This can't be. It must be testing.
This can't be as we are rounding the corner.
This can't be as it will end 11/4.

Don't look at April confirmed cases. They are worth nothing. There was minimal testing, and the testing we did wasn't close to accurate (IIRC between 50-70% accuracy). With the amount of cases we are seeing now, even with better testing, we're running real risks of overloading our hospital systems in many places.

How are all of the “It’s all political, COVID won’t exist after the election” peeps enjoying “Lockdown Thursday”?

Friday, March 13, 2020 - lockdowns, round one.
Friday, November 13, 2020 - lockdowns, round two.

It's a conspiracy, I tell ya!

I very honestly and sincerely hope this does not come true  :'(.

Don't look at April confirmed cases. They are worth nothing. There was minimal testing, and the testing we did wasn't close to accurate (IIRC between 50-70% accuracy).

Granted but even if the number of cases were similar to now (which there is no way of really knowing) the deaths were still way more then. 

Where can we see current hospitalizations rates (not finding accurate numbers via Google for all of USA)? I also don't think its currently close to the rate back then. Perhaps that would be a better comparison.

ETA: that light blue spike at the far right of the graph days we're in serious trouble. Hospitalizations lag behind cases, and cases keep climbing, so that darker blue line will keep going up for a bit.
