I’m under the age of 40 but wow this is the worst shape I have EVER seen the country in. Good Lord what the hell is going on? People really want four more years of this?

This pandemic is hurting countries across the globe, we are hardly the only ones.

America goes through some crisis roughly every decade.  Some of which are worse than others, but the still cripples the country to some extent either through war, stock market woes, certain industry bubbles busting, inflation, pandemics, etc...   A global pandemic is hardly our fault though and we are not shouldering the burden alone.

Hopefully we get through this sooner rather than later and have a 10 year respite for before the next shoe drops.

um, I didn’t bring politics into this, you did. PS: the threshold for Covid-19 crossed into the political realm 2 months ago. Where have you been?

Where at and has death rate spiked?  SC has a great site for very detailed information like this.  Right now, the main problem areas are Columbia and Greenville.  The rest of the state is in relatively good shape...even Myrtle beach and Charleston.  The death rate has stayed fairly consistent since the spike of late April/early May. *knocks on wood it doesn't get worse*

I just ran a couple errands. Places weren’t too busy and I would say probably 75-90% of ppl I saw were wearing masks.

New cases or confirmations? Cases just means tested right?

Like confirmed positive cases.

Gotcha. 
 

Any idea why they make the age range like this? 

18-24 = 6 year range

25-49 = 24 year range 

50-64 = 14 year range 

65-74 = 9 year range 

 

seems very vague to not break it down more in the 25-49 range (selfishly at 31 I would like to know)

No clue but it makes me feel young being grouped with 24 year olds

Up to 80% of people with COVID19 are asymptomatic?

Quote

In one cruise-ship coronavirus outbreak, more than 80% of people who tested positive for COVID-19 did not show any symptoms of the disease, according to a new paper published in the journal Thorax.

The research shows just how prevalent asymptomatic transmission of COVID-19 may be—a reality that both suggests official case counts are drastic underestimates, and emphasizes the importance of practicing social distancing even if you feel healthy...

... It’s difficult to extrapolate the results to larger populations, since the people on board the ship were living in close quarters while entirely isolated from outside life for about a month. Even still, the results are a stark reminder of how likely COVID-19 is to spread within communities, and how difficult it can be to tell when it does.

That’s a particularly important lesson to consider as states reopen and nice weather eats away at many people’s resolve to stay home. The virus can and does spread undetected—and an asymptomatic case can still cause serious illness if it spreads to someone else. Until a vaccine is available, the safest way to keep coronavirus from spreading is to keep your distance from others, whether you’re sick or not.

I pointed that out a while ago.  Its part of the misinformation they are trying to distribute.  They stretch the age ranges to make things appear different than they really are.  The death count by age group is even more deceiving in the way they present it.
