Reply to: Bad news: a newly identified mutation makes SARS-CoV-2 more transmissible Posted May 5, 2020

Thanks for the information. Does your research indicate why we don’t see mainstream reports of recovered cases in a timely manner? For instance, my county (Jefferson, WA) now has — according to the link — two (2) “active” cases. https://www.jeffersoncountypublichealth.org/1429/COVID-19. However all I see on the major reporting websites is a glaring “28” cases: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/washington/ and the same stat is seen on the Johns Hopkins scary red death bubble app. I think it’s germane, esp. given where things seem to be heading with the phased-in reopening approaches I’ve seen where active-cases-per-some-capita-number will drive the tightening or relaxation of current measures. Any feedback or insight is appreciated.

Great info as usual! Housekeeping note: the 3rd link (union/Shelbyville plant) in the chicken farm paragraph gives a 404 error. Looks like adding “www.” after the https:// will fix it. 🙂

Thank you for unpacking this! It’s good to know what we’re doing has an impact. My county has stayed steady at about 2 dozen cases for weeks. I wonder why they landed on 150m, though. You called it out at the end of your piece. Probably works as good as any other measure. I realize my case is somewhat different than in Seattle proper: I work from home (have been for 10+ years) and live in a very rural part of western WA. So when I go get my mail (on my quad), I have to travel about 500m. I guess I would then be counted as a non-conformist. 🙂

No activity yet.
