Why would you feel stupid? It will mean the social distancing worked, that's all.
The decline could be from a number of causes. More people were starting to take it seriously before Kate made her play. That is just one reason. Kate will surely take credit for the decline and the media will buy into it."The argument I made in my previous post, that's even more true today, is that all the numbers showing how hospitalizations (the key leading indicator of where we are in the cycle of COVID-19's viral arc) were declining before Governor Brown's March 23 order."

If the number of cases was dropping over a week before the Governor's order then the effects of social distancing wouldn't really show up for another two weeks after. So that's at least three weeks of case decline without the benefit social distancing. I know where I work and live people didn't take seriously social distancing till after the order was given and many still don't.
This graph does not represent cases. It shows "covid-like visits" to the ER. A covid-like visit is not a hospitalization, nor is it a confirmed case. Confirmed cases were still rising at a rate of 19% per day with a doubling time of 3.5 days on 4/1. If you are going to argue that cases were declining, at least show appropriate data."The argument I made in my previous post, that's even more true today, is that all the numbers showing how hospitalizations (the key leading indicator of where we are in the cycle of COVID-19's viral arc) were declining before Governor Brown's March 23 order."

Which posts are you referring to? I've read every single post on here, and I haven't seen a single one that fits your description.he makes more sense than the "sky is falling" "we're all gonna die" posts on this thread.
I'm only going by the numbers published on the OHA web page. It seems to me if you are going to accept their numbers for covid-like visits, then there is no reason not to accept their numbers for confirmed positives.True, covid -like cases are not a hospitalization. But where do the people come from that end up being hospitalized if not through the ER first. So how can there be a rise in "confirmed cases" when there's a decline in ER visits?
This thread is in the Preparedness and Survival forum. It started as a place for people to share news and information about the outbreak in China. Some members expressed concern because they were either at high risk or had family members who were, and began to share ideas on prevention, sanitation, etc.. Things became somewhat contentious when other members began to ridicule and denigrate those concerns, and throw around terms like "panic" and such. The hyperbole seems to be coming mostly from people who want to minimize the situation. I don't recall anyone posting that we're all going to die or that the world is coming to an end, except those who want to ridicule the "preppers."I don't deny that the virus is real and that the mortality to certain groups of people is something to be concerned about but the reaction to it and fear mongering from too many individuals, media and politicians is just over the top. This virus is and has been politicized and this is doing far more damage to peoples lives than the virus. The economic impact of this politicization will have much longer and lasting effects.
That drop in deaths starting at week 10 of this year and continuing to drop over weeks 11 and 12 was before the social distancing directive started on week 13.
What we see here are pneumonia and flu deaths being classes as COVID-19. These are people in poor health who would have died anyway during that time frame.
Interesting. From the google maps photo it looks like they were already burying stuff there from last summer or earlier. There is a similar pit (located just behind the square building in the photo). I wonder what they were burying there before?

Ye Ole Kate strikes again. Honestly, this is government overreach that makes 9/11 and the Patriot Act look like a grade school exercise...Oregon will limit hunting, fishing to state residents starting this weekend
The action will last until coronavirus restrictions are lifted.www.kgw.com
