CV Analysis

My relatives in Milan said the same.

My dad's calculations for doubling time agree with Cuomo's: every six days, up from 2.6.

Why do I feel that's a reason to celebrate?

Sounds like he's doing a more serious study than I did.  That said, I am very positive that this thing will roll over soon and we'll get back to work.  Every pandemic runs out of firewood eventually - key is to stay out of fire.  [Mandatory PC statement: No I don't think the people who die in this pandemic are disposable or are firewood]

Remember way back when in the old days (4 weeks ago) when we were still skiing?!!  I finally managed (after 5 years of trying) to finagle time off to ski on 3/18-3/20 and 3/25-3/27 and was so looking forward to it - must be paying the price for all of the bad things I've done in the past!!!

State of Colorado has their data presented here.

Ski towns appear to have high incidence.
Does elevation have impact? More testing being performed? Further along the wave? Other...
A lot less O2 at 12000' elevation.

I bet a donut that the reason is that ski towns are a magnet for travel.

You may be onto something there.

Mega passes made the smorgasbord more affordable.

Viruses stay airborne in low humidity, and the lower the temp the less moisture the air can hold.   Nothing better for viruses then dry mountain air and even drier ski lodge air.

Or maybe too many safety meetings?

After I was sick in January I felt short of breath for another 6 weeks.

I've been hearing a lot of these stories about people being sick and could share my own as well.  My guess is that this thing has hit a lot more of us than is realized but we were acting on past experiences where people get sick in the winter and don't normally go to the doctor and get tested but rather burn 3 or 4 days and then recover.  

Age combined with a weakened aerobic system seams to spell trouble - same as the flu.  Living in a highly congested area doesn't seem to help either but until it is over we won't know for sure.

My dad just shared his stats for NYS. He said that "the next few weeks are going to be awful".
I can pm you what he wrote, if you are interested.

Stay home, stay safe.

I'm working on a piece for the front page.  PM me if I can use the numbers.

Please do so if you don't mind.  It's driving me nuts based on what I am analyzing that I can't see what others are predicting.
