This is certainly encouraging overall, have you found any graphics that are county specific? The one I found admitted to using wikipedia as a source and probability models to help determine case counts so I am less than reassured as to it's reliability and accuracy
Hello; I do think there is a CDC site with at least state information. I first posted the link I have been posting over a month ago. I figured it would be easy to find but when I went to the CDC online I could not find it. That is when I think I saw some state by state information. I searched the CDC site for a while and finally gave up. I had to go back many pages in this thread to find the link. I then bookmarked and saved it so I can find it each Saturday. I think it is updated each Friday. Anyway I have been checking it for a few weeks now.

What could go wrong?


Oh, wait...

 
Hello; You will have to take up objections to the graphs with the CDC. They generate the data.

To be sure the sort of stories you have posted in the last day about the hospital overruns and how many are being crowded into hallways and such are being put out here in the USA. Every day such scary stories show up when I get online. The TV news carries the same sort of stories about individuals with bad outcomes.

How the scare stories and the CDC link relate to each other is hard to judge. Are the scare stories being put out to frighten the unvaccinated into getting the jabs? I do not know. I did see a disturbing such story on the local news in the last days. The story went on for a time. It was a genuine tear jerker sort of tale. Followed by a very brief statement that case numbers are down in my area. I do not know who or what to have confidence in. But the CDC is saying cases are down ongoing for nearly a month now.




I don't have an objection to the CDC graph, but it may or may not be an accurate reflection on the current numbers. That was my point. I hope they are indeed accurate, but as of late it seems a LOT of people on the interweb have been questioning the CDC, and their possible motives, regarding various subjects. Including yourself.



FYI


When I see a nurse that I have known for years break down and cry over another loss of life due to covid, a loss that very likely didn't need to happen - I don't call it a scare story.

When I see helicopters flying over my house, daily, medivac'ing patients out of our local hospital, to another city where there is an available bed (for now) because our ICU is maxed out with mostly unvaccinated covid patients - I don't call that a scare story.

When I see a person getting zipped up in a body bag, because of this pandemic - I don't refer to that as a scare story, either.


As I said previously, I work closely with nurses, and health care staff, in care facilities, so perhaps I view some of this a bit differently, than others, who have only been watching this unfold on their favorite news channel. Trust me, it's a LOT different when there is another human beings name attached to the story, especially if that human being, is someone that you know.


It's not scary, it's just sad.

Hello; You are correct, I do question many of the authorities involved with running things having to do with the pandemic. The problem is when I post a link from some other sources it gets panned or dismissed or the source is put down. You did that very thing recently.

At least the CDC does not get dismissed quite so easy. It does seem that some do not accept the graphs in that link. Because after i post the link soon some post reports that appear to refute the notion the cases are on the decline.

Hello; Thing I saw is the graphs appear to to end back in July. It is now the third week of September. The CDC graphs i link run up to the current date. The most recent peak in the CDC graphs of cases was back in August.

The problem with some of yours, and others so called sources, are they are simply not from trusted sources, as in NON per reviewed papers. Do you need to me to clarify what peer-reviewed means, again? That's the very thing that I did recently.

If we don't stick to peer reviewed science, things tend to get awfully muddied up, awfully quickly, especially with anything associated with covid.

The site interactive, scroll down, plenty of stats beyond the end of July. Do you think that I am making this **** up? lol

Except when I posted a peer reviewed study you dismissed that as well

Hello; No not that you made up the graphs yourself. Just that the graphs all ended with data back in July when a spike was still going up. I do not know why when the cited data stopped back then, do you?
Since the CDC in the USA is posting data showing a decline in cases starting in August, it would be better to have data that is not nearly two months old.

I post the CDC link each week in order to keep as close to up to date as possible. Things may be different across the border, but how to know from those graphs.

I merely noticed the date.
