Why are the lights colored for car lanes then? They thought it's OK if color blind persons kill others? Since it is a hereditary condition, they just dug themselves deeper in the pit. Possibly at the same time reducing the number of literate people....

Positive cases to tests is around 5.8%, which goes to show how testing is still limited to only those with doctor's recommendation to get tested.

Ohio did 8K tests for today's numbers which is still off their highest number of tests last week, with previous days at 3.3K, 3.6K, 5.5K, 4.9K, 6.5K, 5.2K, 4.3K, 4.9K, 5.5K, 8.1K, 7.0K, 8.2K, 12.2K, 8.1K, 5.4K, and 7.1K.

Ohio's numbers today, Confirmed: 25,721 (up from 25,250 ), Hospitalized: 4,618 (up from 4,539 ), and Deaths: 1,483 (up from 1,436 ).
CDC Expanded Cases and Deaths: 1,476 , 136
Confirmed Cuyahoga County: 2979 (up from 2,908 ) ~ 2.44% increase.

Percentage increase: 1.87%, 1.74%, 3.27%
Raw increase: 471, 79, 47

Ohio has total tests of 224,378 (up from 216,290 ) and tests per 1M population of 19,195 (up from ~ 18,579 ) taken from https://coronavirus.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/covid-19/dashboards/key-metrics/cases and https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ [case numbers updated later]

They're now using roughly 11.689 million for population of Ohio.

Some hopeful graphs for the UK

upload_2020-5-14_12-50-39.png

And a Roche serological test has been approved for use everywhere that supports the European CE mark, and the US. They reckon they can ramp up to tens of millions of tests per month. The downside is it requires analysers and isn't an 'at home' test from the sounds of it.
 
Those figures for the UK are encouraging and it seems that the vast majority of folks have followed the lockdown regulations very closely. Footballers aside, it would seem!

Just a pity that the government still doesn't seem to have a proper contact tracing system set up (the app in testing aside). The opportunity to nip future outbreaks in the bud is absolutely dependent on it yet we're none the wiser, despite the fact that people have been urged to go back to work this week. Judging from some of the images taken on public transport yesterday showing busy trains, we'll have another surge in infections by the end of the month.
 
Expect to see massive spike in Wisconsin cases in 5-14 days...

Wisconsin bars packed with patrons almost immediately after court strikes down stay-at-home order
Almost immediately after the Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down Governor Tony Evers' stay-at-home order on Wednesday, bars in the state opened their doors — and patrons did not hold back. Video from one packed bar in Platteville has gone viral online.​

The video from Nick's Bar shows patrons packed together, dancing and banging on the bar top. The video received nearly 60,000 views on Twitter before the tweet was deleted. And Nick's is not the only Wisconsin establishment to receive a flood of visitors.​

More information in english about Doctor Negri work: https://science.sciencemag.org/content/368/6490/455

In serious cases of COVID-19, patients struggle to breathe with damaged lungs, but early in the disease, low saturation isn't always coupled with obvious respiratory difficulties. Carbon dioxide levels can be normal, and breathing deeply is comfortable—“the lung is inflating so they feel OK,” says Elnara Marcia Negri, a pulmonologist at Hospital Sírio-Libanês in São Paulo. But oxygen saturation, measured by a device clipped to a finger and in many cases confirmed with blood tests, can be in the 70s, 60s, or 50s. Or even lower. Although mountain climbers can have similar readings, here the slide downward, some doctors believe, is potentially “ominous,” says Nicholas Caputo, an emergency physician at New York City Health + Hospitals/Lincoln.

Hypotheses about what causes it are emerging. Many doctors now recognize clotting as a major feature of severe COVID-19 (Science, 24 April, p. 356). Negri thinks subtle clotting might begin early in the lungs, perhaps thanks to an inflammatory reaction in their fine web of blood vessels, which could set off a cascade of proteins that prompts blood to clot and prevents it from getting properly oxygenated.

Negri developed this idea after treating a woman whose breathing troubles coincided with circulatory problems in her toes. Negri's team gave the woman heparin, a common blood thinner, and not only her toes but her breathing recovered. Negri wondered whether heparin could boost patients' low oxygen levels regardless of whether they were struggling to breathe. On 20 April, she posted a preprint detailing her hospital's experience with 27 COVID-19 patients. Patients with hypoxia received heparin, and the dose was increased if they had elevated levels of D-dimer, a blood marker of excess clotting.

One of the 27 was lost to follow-up after transferring to another hospital. But 24 others are recovering—including six of eight who needed mechanical ventilation, a better rate of positive outcomes than has been reported elsewhere. Two remain critically ill. Negri is now planning to follow more patients. And several clinical trials elsewhere will test whether blood thinners can prevent or treat complications of severe COVID-19, including respiratory problems.

Positive cases to tests is around 8.6%, which goes to show how testing is still limited to only those with doctor's recommendation to get tested.

Ohio's Trends look just as ugly today as they did 3 weeks ago.

Ohio did 7.4K tests for today's numbers which is still off their highest number of tests last week and one third of the numbers they're aiming for, with previous days at 3.3K, 3.6K, 5.5K, 4.9K, 6.5K, 5.2K, 4.3K, 4.9K, 5.5K, 8.1K, 7.0K, 8.2K, 12.2K, 8.1K, 5.4K, 7.1K, and 8K.

Ohio's numbers today, Confirmed: 26,357 (up from 25,721 ), Hospitalized: 4,718 (up from 4,618 ), and Deaths: 1,534 (up from 1,483 ).
CDC Expanded Cases and Deaths: 1,557 , 146
Confirmed Cuyahoga County: 3066 (up from 2979 ) ~ 2.92% increase.

Percentage increase: 2.47%, 2.17%, 3.44%
Raw increase: 636, 100, 51

Ohio has total tests of 231,795 (up from 224,378 ) and tests per 1M population of 19,830 (up from ~ 19,195 ) taken from https://coronavirus.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/covid-19/dashboards/key-metrics/cases and https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ [case numbers updated later]

New York barber cutting hair 'illicitly' during lockdown tests positive for coronavirus

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/n...wn-tests-positive-for-coronavirus/ar-BB145Cnf

A barber who continued to cut hair at a shop in New York over the past few weeks in violation of the state's stay-at-home order has tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, according to the Ulster County Department of Health and Mental Health.

In a statement Wednesday, the county health commissioner advised anyone who received a haircut in the past three weeks at a barbershop on Broadway in the city of Kingston, about 20 miles north of Poughkeepsie, to seek testing for the coronavirus. The statement did not identify either the barber or the shop.

Nonessential businesses have been closed since March 22 under an order issued by Gov. Andrew Cuomo that is set to expire Friday, when certain parts of the state that have met public health metrics will be allowed to begin a phased reopening.

Under the order, barbershops, beauty salons, nail salons and other businesses that provide personal care services are not allowed to be open and operated to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

"We are taking extraordinary measures to try and minimize the spread of this dangerous disease," Ulster County Health Commissioner Dr. Carol Smith said. "Learning that a barbershop has been operating illicitly for weeks with a COVID-19 positive employee is extraordinarily disheartening."

"As much as we would all like to go out and get a professional haircut, this kind of direct contact has the potential to dramatically spread this virus throughout our community and beyond," Smith added.
