Periodic COVID updates for the United States
My summary: Amid new signs of easing in the U.S.'s continuing mid-year COVID surge, weekly COVID deaths rose again to a fully reported tally of 971 for week ending August 10, more than triple the weekly low of 308 COVID deaths in early June. Still, the current weekly COVID deaths tally remains less than half of that reported at the beginning of 2024 amid the now-typical year-end/holidays COVID surge. The rate of sampled hospitalizations due to COVID reversed prior weekly increases and began declining for the week ending August 17. Two other publicly reported COVID forward-looking indicators -- Emergency Department visits and positive COVID testing rates -- continued modest prior declines in the latest update through August 31, though the positive COVID testing rate remained high at a 16.3% rate. CDC COVID update for Sept. 6, 2024: Weekly national summary "COVID-19 activity remains elevated nationally, but there are continued signs of decline in many areas. COVID-19 test positivity, emergency department visits, and rates of COVID-19–associated hospitalizations remain elevated, particularly among adults 65+ and children under 2 years. Surges like this are known to occur throughout the year, including during the summer months." https://www.cdc.gov/respiratory-viruses/data/index.html According to the CDC, the "early indicators" of COVID test positivity and COVID related Emergency Department visits both declined slightly for the week ending Aug. 31. The rate of COVID hospitalizations also declined slightly, but the rate of COVID-related deaths rose for the latest reporting periods. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#datatracker-home Reported COVID deaths in the U.S. reached nearly 1,000 (971) for latest finalized reporting week ending Aug. 10: * the three gray columns above indicate totals for those recent weeks remain partial. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_weeklydeaths_select_00 With the absence of any comprehensive COVID infection testing and reporting program in the U.S. and reduced reporting of COVID hospitalization data, public health officials increasingly have turned to wastewater monitoring of COVID viral content as a primary forward-looking indicator of COVID activity and trends in the country, as follows: "Wastewater (sewage) can be tested to detect traces of infectious diseases circulating in a community, even if people don’t have symptoms. You can use these data as an early warning that levels of infections may be increasing or decreasing in your community." https://www.cdc.gov/nwss/rv/COVID19-nationaltrend.html https://www.cdc.gov/nwss/rv/COVID19-currentlevels.html -

Can you defend yourself?
This is very rare, scarce, unfeasible, almost impossible. Some people go looking for trouble, it's in their nature, look at some of the members here, even sitting behind their keyboards they want to antagonize, provoking others regularly, going out of their way to interact with hostility, That's not me, I always stay under the radar, keep out of trouble. I'm lucky, I have good genes and take care of myself. I'm in good shape, tall, fit, so I probably don't fit the description of a random attacks, these people look for the frail etc. -

How on earth do you Diet in Thailand ?
To lose weight healthily: Each day.... Eat two 5-egg omelets Eat one can of tuna Eat one chicken breast Eat rice with each meal Drink Sichuan green tea Repeat daily. The above contains almost zero sugar. Use vinegar, soy sauce, white pepper, chili pepper for any required additional flavoring. Eat bread and tuna, as desired, for an extra snack. -

Bringing a bike into Thailand as sports luggage
I've taken 2 bicycles into Thailand. Never a problem. There's a parable I recalled, although the one I remembered was about Garlic across the France/Belgian border. The one I find online is about Sand on the Mexico/US border. Story here. -

How on earth do you Diet in Thailand ?
I recently inspected our kitchen - and I was horrified. I thought gf is cooking reasonable food. How wrong I was!!! Yeah, I noticed already how reluctant she is to buy fruit (I have never known a Thai who eats fruit), but never mind, I buy and eat it, no cooking required. The vast amounts of rice she serves with every meal end up in the toilet bowl (secretly, of course). But what I found in the kitchen...pounds of sugar, salt and MSG - none of that cr@p I have ever bought in my life. This ends up on my dinner plate! Has anybody ever had success teaching an adult Thai the most basic things about healthy nutrition? How?? I can't cook, and I guess if I tried it it would ruin the relationship. Like all Thais, she drinks basically only water, so that's good. And she doesn't buy sweet things, so that's very good. -

Tim Walz: The Unexpected Strength Behind Harris’s VP Pick
I have never watched much of the View - I don't think it's in my channels when in Australia or here. What I have seen I found to be a reasonable discussion - people saying what they felt - I got a bit bored and didn't concur with all they said but they seemed like reasonable people. To me shows like the 5 seems horribly manufactured - I doubt the sincerity of some of them and if they are sincere then they are not nice people. No problem if Republican or Democrat - it's about how you go about making the case in my opinion. -

Trump Attempts to Delay Sentencing in Hush Money Case
We just may have our wish granted,the judge just delayed sentencing until after the election.in my humble opinion the judge seems to be leaning towards jail time that will also help keeping his mouth shut after he loses the election……good and better!! That’s a win win!! -

Watch him? A weird link to a weird goofy twanger commenting on what? Hopeless. No footage of Trump being weird or anything else. You are just a time-waster.- 1
