That isn't true according to the numbers from https://coronavirus.1point3acres.com/en https://coronavirus.1point3acres.com/en. Do you have a citation for that? Numbers for new deaths have been hovering between 0 and 5 for the last month in SF, SF has had a total of 22 people dead, due to successful lockdown measures it basically never hit SF.

- dmoy 6y agoSorry I'm not seeing anything in there that's saying number of deaths per day is rising. Can you help me navigate to where that is shown?

- viklove 6y agoDeaths is not a metric that can determine which stage of this pandemic we are in. Immunity is the figure you're looking for, which will not increase under a shelter-in-place order. Deaths are down, but will immediately shoot back up if the shelter-in-place is lifted. The only goal posts you should care about are herd immunity or vaccination. Nothing else matters when discussing how much longer this pandemic will last. edit: Wow you guys are really mad at me judging by all these downvotes. You're right, the pandemic is over, lift the stay-at-home orders! For a long time I thought HN had higher quality discussion than Reddit, but in reality it's just the same BS with slightly larger words.
- striking 6y agoI downvoted because I'm not currently aware of a current usable metric for immunity and because you didn't link to one. It's obvious to me too that the pandemic isn't over but deaths is (to my knowledge) the best proxy for all the other metrics that we currently have, due to lack of consistent testing.
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoI'm not so much mad, more sad. It's unfortunate to see commenters who go around trying to dunk on people instead of constructively contributing.
- dabbledash 6y agoI think people are hoping for a third option: driving the infection rate low enough that it can be contained going forward with testing and contact tracing. Whether it’s realistic to think that can be achieved in an acceptable timeframe, I don’t know.
- droidist2 6y agoWhat about the option of slowing the spread or flattening the curve so it doesn't overwhelm the healthcare system?

- redis_mlc 6y ago> SF has had a total of 22 people dead, due to successful lockdown measures it basically never hit SF. That appears to be false. SF has had corona since Dec. and a large percentage of the population were exposed months ago. Lockdown at this point is just theater.
- justforyou 6y ago>> Lockdown at this point is just theater. Wildly irreaponsible and unqualified statement. Please stop being part of the problem.
- octonion 6y agoThat's a dangerous lie.
