>NY/NJ/CT all have the absolute worst outcomes so far.
They were also hit early in this ongoing pandemic and had to fight hard to get it under control. That red states are now ticking up is a sad commentary on their governance, which is a mix of hubris, denialism, and willful ignorance.
> Cases have gone up but deaths have not.
The average age of the infected is lowering, and they tend to survive.
- war1025 6y ago> The average age of the infected is lowering, and they tend to survive. An illness that lasts two weeks and then goes away is a shitty two weeks. We're sitting at what, a shitty five months now? I guarantee there are a lot of people out there who would take a rough couple of weeks over what we've done to their livelihoods this year.
- viraptor 6y ago> An illness that lasts two weeks and then goes away Two big assumptions. This is true for many, but between this and death we also have people sick for months or with possibly permanent health damage. We also have completely asymptomatic cases. It's a spectrum, not few specific outcomes.
