WUHAN FLU [CORONAVIRUS] UPDATE for June 9, 2020:

Again, no real changes today. The death rate went up a tick, to 0.1006% (more or less the same as the global death rate). Uninfected Americans continue to decline, at 65.643% today. The Coronavirus Dashboard continues to show an upward trend in confirmed cases, but this is probably a result of increased testing, since the Coronavirus Tracker is showing the percentage of positives to continue trending down (now 9%).

Georgia showed a significant uptick in deaths today but the caseload remained steady. We'll see tomorrow if it means anything or was just a statistical anomoly.

WUHAN FLU [CORONAVIRUS] UPDATE for June 8, 2020:

No real changes from yesterday. Estimated uninfected still dropping, to 65.933% today; death rate still going down, to 0.1005%. Georgia rates basically the same as yesterday -- cases up, deaths down.

TRUST 'SCIENCE': Riots prevent COVID-19.

PROVEN? BY WHOM? WHEN? Minneapolis City Council members announce intent to disband the police department, invest in proven community-led public safety.

Much more at Instapundit.

ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY CORRECT: "Throughout the pandemic, political leaders have consistently relied on questionable expert guidance—and ducked responsibility for their own choices."

WUHAN FLU [CORONAVIRUS] UPDATE for June 7, 2020:

Pretty much the same today as yesterday. One note: the Coronavirus Dashboard (my other source) is showing a trendline of increasing coronavirus diagnoses, while deaths remain low -- I take that to mean greatly increased testing, which may show in this chart soon.

In the meantime, those estimated to remain uninfected is still dropping (66.243% today) and the death rate is continuing to drop (0.1010%).

Meanwhile, Georgia reporting is similar to the Coronavirus Dashboard -- cases increasing, deaths down (only 2 reported today).

SEN. SHELDON WHITEHOUSE [D-RI] is still a jackass.

WUHAN FLU [CORONAVIRUS] UPDATE for June 6, 2020:

Same old, same old. Cumulative deaths are clearly flattening, and the daily deaths have been stable or declining for over a month. I'm thinking of discontinuing the trend lines because polynomial fits aren't really stable for S-shaped curves and have little -- if any -- predictive value when the 'S' begins to flatten.

Those Americans estimated to remain uninfected is down to 66.625% (good; it's an indicator of building herd immunity); and the death rate has dropped to 0.1016%, typical of an average flu season..

Georgia remains relatively stable. Newly reported cases are still increasing (increased testing?) and daily deaths continue to decline.
