An idea for anyone who follows these things: Track the inevitable spikes of COVID-19.

[Baitball Blogger]

The data is out there. Every city, county and state has daily totals. It just takes someone to collect that data as it happens to see if there are spikes each time there is a Republican sanctioned congregation event.

We should have one spiking now in the state of Wisconsin.

In two or three days, watch one go up in Jacksonville, Florida.

Can someone put the data on DU so we can show a definitive cause and effect?

Just a suggestion.

1. Here's the Wisconsin spike: Looks like there is a 7 to 9+ day lag, depending how you count it

Looks like there is a 9-11 day lag until a spike can be confirmed: 5 days for infections to get noticed, 2 days for lab turnaround, and at least 3 days for 3-day moving average to confirm it with some confidence, in real time. About 7 days when looked at as history.

3. Thanks! A sad graphic, that pinpoints where the republicans in WI definitely caused deaths in WI

to occur when they didn't have to. I hope that those with the power to do so, will go after those on the republican side who demanded that elections still be held, regardless of the consequences to their voters. There must be consequences, there must be an accounting for their actions.

15. Can you provide the source ?

I’ve been wondering the same thing and would like to know if there’s a site I can bookmark and come back to in about a week after all these rallies ...
Thank you for this! Very telling.

16. It came from Twitter via the third link in this link, but it has been deleted for some reason

2. Very good idea. I expect the same in all localities where the authorities are listening to the ...

idiots demanding that their beaches be reopened, and businesses be allowed to open. I suspect from a business front, that a lot of businesses won't reopen, being that if they do, and some of their employees get the CV/get sick, they'll be sued endlessly, as they should be, putting their people in harms' way.

4. The next two weeks will roll the dice, especially in rural red state America

They are showing signs of blowing up (rapid climb in infections). This hasn't and can't (at this stage) penetrate the awareness of baggers, except perhaps that plant in South Dakota. The Wisconsin data is showing that infection starts up again 5 days later and is detected a couple of days after (lab test round trip) and confirmed a couple days later when 3 day moving average confirms it. Call it 10 days.

With the baggers pushing and tRump et al, there will full churches in lots of places for the next two weekends. Then about April 27 alarm bells will be ringing in surprising places. However the lag in awareness for the red hatters will be one to five days later. Right about when tRump will crowing about "opening up" and people will surging together in groups as if released and not ready to tolerate the slightest bit of physical distancing.

By then it will be too late.

5. The kid who runs ncov19.live which is one of the best

tracking sites, just told a DUer that the government shut him down.

7. You would think white hats would give him a mirror site.

8. I don't know what that means but it sounds like a good thing.

(What does it mean?)

11. White hats are good hackers.

I am probably extending the meaning. But mirror sites are just different launching sites for his material.

13. But he's just a 17 year old kid. If someone official told me to stop

doing something when I was 17, I'd stop.

But thanks for teaching me something new.

9. Clever kid, but there is no evidence. It is up. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence

If there is evidence, present it.

Otherwise, please don't spread baseless viral rumours.

[Squinch]

10. The numbers on the site are from Thursday. He's showing

675k infected in the US, for example. The current number is 718K.

And I am not spreading baseless viral rumors, I am telling what a DUer was told when he asked why there have been no updates. Do with the information what you will.

12. I think we're going to see a bunch.

Wherever these nutcases gather.

Scary.

14. Just like we heard about the zombie who caught coronavirus and died,

We'll probably hear similar fates for Zombie no. 1, 2 and 3.

That must have been some cattle call.
