Some perspective. Toronto is a large multicultural city with a huge number of international travelers. I decided to compare to San Diego County because you make it all sound so under control there. City of Toronto has 2.9 million people ( metro 5.9 million ) versus 3.3 million in San Diego County. Today, City of Toronto dropped from 50 to 19 new cases. Total cases 10092. San Diego County had 238 new cases and total case count 13661. Toronto remains under level one lock down because our numbers are worse then most of Ontario. I was surprised, the numbers suggest you don't have a clue what you are talking about.
So. once again you miss the point. The point of this short thread was to keep track of what happens in San Diego since the reopening. 2. While I was looking at the uptick in cases since the reopening as a comparison to San Diego itself before the opening. Its not really about cases. Many times I have told you I do not care about cases... we are all going to get exposed to it if we are not planning to hide until a vaccine. Its about managing hospital beds and avoiding deaths going forward. 3. By the way... every city is different with a different population. So I would not be comparing SD to Toronto without knowing both cities well. I would also want to know how many old folks died before the shutdown because in many cities in the world... that is where the major problem happened. So... to make yourself would you like to compare and contrast the reasons why Toronto has 3 times as many deaths as San Diego? Is your population older?
Why are you peddling nonsense.... Your own leaders say San Diego is a COVID hotspot.

Your headlines don't tell the story of the data. Look at the actual stats from the newspaper... The rolling 14 day average of positive tests even took a noticeable drop since I looked at this this morning... ( updated stats? ) but... you don't have to believe me... just click the link and see for yourself. Also notice the amount of deaths we are suffering are about as low as you can go... https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/tracking-coronavirus-cases-san-diego-county
The percentage of positive tests is meaningless when all of your other stats are rising. At best it is an indicator that more testing is occurring. Let's take a look at the charts that matter... Your local leaders are clearly stating the San Diego is a hot spot and more mitigation to stop COVID-19 is needed. It does not get much clear than that.
new case are rising as testing has doubled. your other chart is a cumulative chart. of course it rises... it rises on every new instance... everywhere in the world until the virus is over. you are a fucking crazy doomer... show the percent positive of new cases is dropping. show that icu usage is dropping show that deaths are at 1 a day right now. (could go up a bit as chart is updated)
The Trump concept that more testing leads to more cases is an absurd fallacy. Clearly the increased number of cases in San Diego goes statistically well beyond being merely correlated to the expanded number of tests. The percentage of positive tests is meaningless in light of the increase in cases & other statistics.
Love it---I want this to spread and spread quickly among the less vulnerable. We need to go ahead and get to herd immunity as soon as possible. Everybody just be careful-----remember, you don't want to catch cold or flu either. Some people will die---that was going to happen eventually anyway. Life is imperfect.
Go look up the facts. 40% of those infected do not develop anti-bodies. The immunity to COVID-19 appears to only last for 2 to 3 months for those who do develop anti-bodies. "Natural Herd Immunity" is a farce. A vaccine is needed to develop any type of herd immunity to COVID-19.
It could be that immunity to The Kung Flu may be fleeting because it mutates into other strains. Those new strains will be weaker and weaker. If that's the case then Kung Flu is here to stay like yearly flu and cold and no vaccine will clear it up. Let's get out there and re-open and get this spread around and spread around quickly. This is the correct course of action. By the way, if you don't want to catch Kung Flu, a cold, or any flu strain, just don't touch your face.
