So one can conclude either the hospitals have gotten worse at treating CV19 or there's something wrong with the current data.

There needs to be justice post Trump or there will be little peace in this country.

EDIT: Looks like there are twice as many deaths now as there was to the previous low PTR too

1. Because they are doing less testing doesn't stop people from getting it

[uponit7771]

2. +1, Hmmmm ... US is also at twice the deaths per PTR vs the last low PTR in June too !! Yeah, there

... are more people dying of CV19 now or they're screwing with the data big time

4. I can tell you first hand testing is still messed up compared

To months ago even in TX (less tests). I was exposed and had to drive all the way into Dallas from the North burbs to get tested.

5. burbs like Frisco or Allen? Abbot and DeSatan should be put in jail when all is said and done

8. McKinney, but it's all the same difference pretty much... You don't realize how hard it is to get

tested until you need it.

And, most of it isn't free either...

9. WOW !!!

10. All CVS and Walgreen Appointments, booked. There was not local drive through at all.

Some pharmacies had the diy test kits for hundreds of dollars.

In a metroplex of 15-20M people, I had to drive 25 miles to a downtown location in a different county for a test.

So yeah, things are still pretty suspicious in TX... still waiting on results.

6. Trumpco took over the reporting of numbers. Who can believe anything anymore?

7. Maybe 50% more deaths, but not twice as many.

I see about 750 deaths per day now, vs 500 at the June trough.

What could explain the difference? So many things. One thing is that the proportion of red states being hit is so much higher now. Red states generally have poorer health care, which means at risk population has shifted. Smokers, obesity rates may be different too. These factors could contribute to higher mortality rate from hospitalizations.

11. Over 257,000 deaths projected by November 3. Link here ...

12. Could this just be a symptom of the length of time the virus has circulated?

With the damage done to major organs, it could be that one tests positive in March, is hospitalized in April, reaches a point of stabilization and no longer contagious but the disease has still damaged them to the point where they lose the battle months later either at home or in a nursing home?
