Deaths Coming Down in Italy

Daily death are now coming down in Italy. Still rising in the US, now over 1,000 a day, but if you look hard enough you can see a slight arc in the graph, concave down. Definitely a 10 out of 10 rating for Trump. He's been a disaster who just can't overcome his personal problems, even in the most important moment of his life.


You can see Italy's high death rate starting to peak too:


IMHE projection says US death rates will double in the coming days.

The IHME seems to have stopped updating their projections on 4/1 ... too bad, as we're now approaching the dates when they were predicting that some of the earliest states would see their peak hospital demand.

Ned: It's just that a week or so ago Trump was asked to rate his response to the coronavirus, and he gave himself a 10 out of 10. Of course.

Right ... but the link in your post actually goes here:

The Fundamental Link Between Body Weight and the Immune System

It's an interesting article (as much writing in the Atlantic is)...

Now it makes more sense :-)

I thought there was some really subtle joke involved that I was too dense to see ...
