WUHAN FLU [CORONAVIRUS] UPDATE for May 17, 2020 (note scale change):

Cue the outraged howls from the HealthScare professionals. The coronavirus pan(ic)demic is not following the script. Confirmed cases of coronavirus remain at 13% of the total people tested. The estimated death rate is 0.1075% and the estimated percentage of Americans not yet infected is still decreasing, at 74.392% today.

And Georgia's coronavirus caseload remains flat.

WUHAN FLU [CORONAVIRUS] UPDATE for May 16, 2020:

Still more deja vu. Confirmed cases of coronavirus remain at 13% of the total people tested. The estimated death rate is 0.1070% and the estimated percentage of Americans not yet infected is still decreasing, at 74.589% today. So if 25% is the minimum to affect herd immunity, we've achieved it.

And Georgia's coronavirus caseload remains flat.

WUHAN FLU [CORONAVIRUS] UPDATE for May 15, 2020:

Deja vu all over again. Confirmed cases of coronavirus have dropped slightly to 13% of the total people tested.

The estimated death rate is steady -- 0.1074%. The estimated percentage of Americans not yet infected is still decreasing, at 75.146% today.

The state of Georgia, where I live, and freed of lockdown about 2 weeks ago, has shown no sign of that sudden increase so hoped for by the pan(ic)demic professionals.

UPDATE: Let's watch and learn. Here are two charts from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's coronavirus dashboard. They're screen shots taken yesterday, and are updated daily at the dashboard link.

Reported cases and deaths have clearly been on the decline for over a month now. If the HealthScare Professionals are correct that another pan(ic)demic is on the way, those charts should be climbing sharply soon, since Georgia has been (kinda-sorta) open for nearly two weeks.

Don't waste your time going to the Georgia Department of Public Health website; it's full of the same self-aggrandizing poppycock as on the CDC website, and the data is well-hidden from those knuckle-dragging Neanderthal deplorables incapable of understanding the nuances of death by coronavirus.

RANDOM THOUGHT: I'm so old I can remember when America was still a democracy.
