#12  I have friends and elations working in hospitals, though none like Woodrow’s cousin. NPR has a pretty little tool to discover how the hospitals in one’s area are doing, broken down by the hospitals in each county.

New Data Reveal Which Hospitals Are Dangerously Full. Is Yours?

#11  My cousin's DC ICU is full of the ChiCom virus. Had to take the day off, arms exhausted from giving chest compressions.

Unless you have family working in similar conditions I could care less about your opinion.

to answer your question:"Is Australia's death toll going down, as they head into summer down under?"

I googled "Australia's covid-19 death toll"
and Google showed it has greatly declined as they enter into their WARM SEASON. Wanting more official source data I dug a little.


AUSTRALIA Covid-19 DATA as of Dec. 10th, 2020

#8  Remember when the hospitals were suffering financially from people staying away? I cannot but wonder who looked at the funding streams fir private health insurance and discovered the gold mine that is an open spigot of government covid medical care and saw the fix for the bottom lines? Noble medical ethics meet the bottom line! That it reinforces a political agenda for many is a feature, ot a bug.

#4  Looking at CDC C-19 CDC DEATH COUNT SITE Table 1.

Quoting the CDC site:
"Note: Provisional death counts are based on death certificate data received and coded by the National Center for Health Statistics as of December 10, 2020.

The last time we had that many deaths was April 18th the peak of Season #1 and then it started declining until October 10th, 2020. Which I call the start of C-19 Season #2, by using the typical CDC Flu infection / mortality pattern cycle.

But using the CDC's own 10 to 14 day infection cycle process. It looks like we'll be hearing the up tick is to be blamed on Halloween, Nov. elections, Turkey day (14 days ago) Black Friday, and related travel/return travel (10-16 days).

#3  Died of "XYZ" and Covid test came up (false or not) positive?

#2  We are very close to the one-week total from mid-April, based on my tabulation of Worldometers data since March.

On the other hand, Worlometers has 431,000 more cases than the Johns Hopkins tally. Between 2% - 3% higher, since May.
