  • 1,232,061 individuals, or 9.6 percent, tested active for COVID-19, the seven-day rolling percentage of active cases posted 9.6 percent yesterday
  • 11,822 Americans died directly or indirectly from COVID-19
  • The deaths represent 0.96 percent of the 1,232,061 individuals that tested active over the same past seven days


The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is about to shorten the current 14-day time period of recovery used to calculate the number of recoveries and pare it back to a seven to ten day time period.

So readers understand what this means, it will affect the following numbers when based on a 10-day recovery time period:

  • The number of active cases will drop from 2,833,539 to 2,011,813
  • The number of recoveries will increase from 9,731,746 to 10,553,472
  • There will be 424 percent more recoveries than active cases


Isn’t it interesting how a formal declaration from a spokesperson at the CDC will change the landscape of America?

Georgia posted 3,177 active cases. The number of cases represents 1.8 percent of total cases in the U.S. and Georgia accounts for 3.2 percent of the population. The COVID-19 incidence level indexes 56, or 43 percent below its proportionate share of the population.

Below are the numbers of total active COVID-19 cases for parts of metro Atlanta and the greater Athens area — not the number of new cases in the past 24 hours — in each county as of 7:30 a.m. this morning:

Tomorrow is a day for giving thanks. For me, today is a day of remembrance. It was one year ago today that my father, Mike Kooyman, passed away. He was 91 years old. My mom, Ruth Kooyman, passed away early in 2019. She was 84 years old.

Both of my parents were first generation Americans. My grandparents came to the United states in the 1920s right after World War I and worked hard to purchase their homes despite the Great Depression. They persevered to achieve and live a better life as Americans. Don’t let the headlines that the mainstream media paints deter you from interacting with the great world of opportunity around us.

In both this morning’s Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, each has a a set of buried articles that report:

  • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is about to shorten the lock-down time of those testing active from 14-days to eight to ten days. COVID-19 is not staying active as long as it did in the past
  • The death rate in the United states has dropped significantly over the last several weeks
  • New York City plans to re-open schools that were closed not because of a surge of the coronavirus, but because of politics
  • France is re-opening its retail and restaurants, leaders there believe that such lock downs have very little effect on the transference of the coronavirus
  • Vaccines are said to be hitting the marketplace soon in countries throughout Europe, Latin America and Pacific Asia


I get up every morning and run the business I own to grow it and sustain an income that I can use to make the world a better a place. I give thanks for the mission call to do so.

Thursday, November 12, 2020

This column may play an enhanced role given mainstream media’s new post-election lack of interest in tracking the daily COVID-19 counts. As of this morning, CNN, MSNBC, FOX News, CNBC, the New York Times, the Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and yes, even the local metro rag, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution have all abandoned posting COVID-19 numbers updates on their home-pages — even foregoing news stories about the record-breaking counts posting each day! God love CNN, at least a small bullet in the news text does cite that the new, higher COVID-19 posts. I guess the editors who were pouring over those numbers and the graphic designers using those bold colors to magnify the visual impact on the websites are now back taking their Ritalin.

As of 12:01 a.m. this morning, the total number of tracked COVID-19 cases in the United States now totals 3.16 percent of the population. The number of tracked active COVID-19 cases represents 0.61 percent of the U.S. population. The number of COVID-19 survivors represents 2.48 percent of the U.S. population. All survivor numbers reported are based on the 14-day U.S. universal recovery time.

The 10,467,602 individuals in the U.S. that have been infected with the coronavirus to-date break down as follows:

  • Active cases — 18.9 percent or 2,012,230 cases, 18.9 percent yesterday
  • Deaths — 2.4 percent or 248,524 deaths, 2.4 percent yesterday (COVID-19 direct and indirect cause of death)
  • Survivors — 78.7 percent or 8,206,848 individuals, 78.7 percent yesterday


The number of active cases increased by 21.3 percent in the past 7 days, from 1,658,966 last Thursday to 2,012,230 today, the 7-day rolling counts posted a 20.9 percent increase yesterday.

Nationwide, in the past 24 hours:

  • New cases increased by 142,906 — again, another record-breaking daily active count
  • New COVID-19 survivals increased by 81,420
  • New active COVID-19 cases increased by 60,007 cases — a record-setting number of one-day increases
