We had gumbo with shrimp andouille sausage for lunch and leftovers for supper. I started listening to the GCP podcast again. The podcast I am currently on was recorded back in December so it is interesting to hear them talking about things. Discussion of the virus has not come up yet. They are in New York City so I am interested in what happens coming to today. The Nordic Track is back up. Rode Ireland today. I am down to 165.5. My last goal weight was 165 so I should hit that soon. The milk had gone sour so we threw it out. Luckily my daughter brought us some milk yesterday. Looking at building a shelf for the greenhouse. I thought I saw some evidence of the chipmunk but not sure yet.

The picture is of the lemon trees but we may not be able to eat these.



Here are the graphs for today.

The death rate in the United States showed an approximately exponential growth rate through the middle of April to just over 2000 deaths per day, then an approximately linear decline through the rest of April and May to the present rate of about 1000 deaths per day. The curve seems to be curving back up now which could indicate a second wave will be occurring. The CDC changed the colors of the graph a few days ago to blue. Not sure why. Maybe it is to help people with red green color blindness. They also modified the format of the state data on the website so it is now harder to parse. This graph is from May 21: This is an average of deaths per day for the past 11 days ending June 4, 2020.

Here are the graphs for today: My latest data and forecast models are at: Spreadsheet Peak date for the USA currently looks to be around April 12. Peak date for Wisconsin currently looks to be around April 20. Remember later peak dates are better for survivability. My model is very simple at this point since it assumes exponential growth at the same rate until the entire population is infected. I may look at a SIR model later if I have time. Laurie is currently taking an inventory of all of our food so we can figure out how long we have. I think we need at least 60 days but I am afraid that we will need 90. We have decreased our coffee to 1 large scoop (usually it is 2 large and 1 small). I have been using the Nordic Track with IFit since we got it in February. Working on the Barcelona series right now. I planted lettuce, Swiss chard, cilantro, and spinach in the greenhouse today. It will take 40-45 days to harvest. It may still be too cold for ...

I went to CNN to look at the news and saw how poorly we were doing against the virus. Then I saw a post by a conservative friend linking the the CDC web site showing number of deaths about half of what I had been tracking. It turns out that data had been posted to an alt-right web site and was only based on a limited time period and was lagging behind the other data due to being based on death certificates. Then I went on to Fox news. The main information about the virus was mostly either light hearted or talked about how democratic governors were taking away the rights of citizens. The lead story was on Joe Biden. In order to have combated this virus successfully we would have needed a consistent response from the president, congress, the states, state legislatures, local authorities, and the media. Instead we have inconsistent messages coming from the white house, congress, local authorities, and different media organizations. This will cost peoples lives. People will die because o...
