The figure was for deaths that day, not delayed reporting.
Then it’s incomplete because of the lag in reporting
And unfortunately whatever lag there is will likely not change the fact it was the highest single day death toll from the virus in this country since the pandemic began, thus far.
There’s always Christmas but the way previous spikes have gone, hopefully not
There seems to be a growing amount of information that Ivermectin used as a prophylactic could be a great tool - and its cheap. What's confusing big Pharma and traditional MD's are calling this quackery but a lot of scientists are pushing back. There is some politics wrapped up in all this.
Melatonin, oddly enough, seems to correlate strongly with preventing or reducing severity. About as cheap as you can get.

The Mysterious Link Between COVID-19 and Sleep
The coronavirus can cause insomnia and long-term changes in our nervous systems. But sleep could also be a key to ending the pandemic.
You’re right, we should continue heeding their advice. It’s worked out well, just ask California!
Having just come from California, I saw nearly 100% mask wearing and compliance with restrictions.
On a side note, here is a new report backing up the Chinese data that shows asymptomatic transmission is not statistically significant.
Household Transmission of SARS-CoV-2
This systematic review and meta-analysis examines evidence for household transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), disaggregated by several covariates, and compares it with other coronaviruses
Does that study break out asymptomatic vs presymptomatic? Some literature out there uses the terms interchangeably but there is a subtle but distinct difference. A lot of people don't even realize those are two different words (not intended as a slight on people's intelligence, just a point about how things are in the world).
Living in LA, it’s not even close to 100% compliance.

Having seen the show "swamp people" I am not surprised lol.
I meant Los Angeles but I’m sure Louisiana is a lot less mask friendly.
This is more of what I perceived happening.
Because masks work and if masks aren’t working it’s because people aren’t wearing masks because masks work? I’ll add you and taxi1 to the list of circular logic offenders within the past couple days.

That's pretty much exactly what's happening.
In the NE where they do contact tracing, fewer than 1% of COVID-19 cases occur in public places where CDC guidelines are rigorously followed. People are having friends and family at their residence, aren't following the guidelines when doing so, and some of those people are showing up with minor symptoms but it's clearly not covid-19 because they're not dying (my own Pancho Villa is I don't believe in asymptomatic spread, I just think people lie about minor illnesses because they have to work to make money).
Personally I don't give a shit because my black heart says if you want to kill yourself then go right ahead. I also think that life is too short and precious to spend major events in isolation, and missing some for deployments has amplified that feeling. So if you're going to tell me that I have a 0.001% chance of dying for spending Thanksgiving with my family I'd prefer to roll that dice and have fun reminiscing over dinner. If I die from Covid-19 then I would be happy I spent my last year living life.
But don't rail against the state and municipal guidance when the reason the vast majority of people who get sick is they decided not to follow the guidelines.
