    KS, based on the numbers, what are your thoughts on the daily new deaths count continuing to go down? It surprised me. I guess we are getting better at treating it?
    I don't think we'll really know the impact of this recent surge in new cases for possibly another week or so. If deaths stay low at that point, then I think we can be optimistic that better treatments are making a difference. Right now I think it's still too early. It's only roughly a week or so ago that we really hit the inflection point on the second wave, and from what I remember from the first wave, it takes 2-3 weeks for people to die, as morbid as that is to discuss.

    Hospitalizations are definitely surging, so we can be confident this isn't just a case of increased testing or more testing of a younger population. But whether that will lead to a big increase of deaths I think is still unknown.

      That's a great point - our surge started around June 16th, and I guess the average mortality time is around 14 days. So still have a few days before we will know

        Yep, I've noted that the recent surge is practically all in the southern states for reasons I dont know. The northern states got hit hard in the 1st wave, particularly the northeast, but they dont seem to be experiencing a 2nd wave yet. Actually, California and Louisiana are not surging so much as the other southern states.

            Florida residents must be so thankful they opened them up for a few weeks.

                  Community Colleges in So Cal are doing as much of it as they can online with only a few lab type classes being offered on campus. UC's are doing much of the same. My wife will be doing her entire schedule from the house.

                      It's shocking, really. First it was the huge amount of tests, then the migrant workers, before Dumpy Jr. down there ran out of excuses.

                        I believe Cal State universities said online for fall, but Cal Poly rebelled and said they will be at school. Subject to change of course. Not sure about Univ of California

                          I could be wrong, but then again--Maybe Nots.

                            Reasons you don't know? Isn't it pretty generally following party lines? That's what I've seen locally.

                              Yeah not sure about Cal State, I know there's a big push for students in the UC system to be allowed to break leases they signed in preparation of having to be AT or IN school. It's a mess as some landlords are being cool and others are demanding leases be honored.

                                This is what I see as well, with a "I'm young and indestructible" outlier
