Re: Wuhan Coronavirus Resource Thread
Any idea why the deaths are not coming down despite the new infections and total active cases showing a sharp downward trends for a few days now. One would expect deaths to come down faster as soon as active cases trend downward as medical care is more easily available. what gives?

Re: Wuhan Coronavirus Resource Thread
Why do you expect vaccination to have an impact on the number of cases? We have nowhere near the coverage at this point. Maybe death rate, but not absolute number of cases. There are no lockdowns so far so it is not surprising that the rate of growth is steeper. Why not? The vaccination program is ...
