Has seen a dramatic dip in the curve.

Also, less deaths yesterday in US than say before.

Washington nursing home caused this entire panic and jacked up the death rate.

Let's see what today brings us. If deaths continue to drop over the next few days, then we can start to feel better about ourselves. I personally think that we will start to see a decline in deaths and a steady dip in the number of cases. If these anti-malaria pills are as good as advertised, this bitch may be over with sooner rather than later and we will have panicked - once again - for nothing.

How many of those are really caused by the chicom virus? Wasn’t that nursing home having other issues?

I think we see death rate stay the same which the insane media will post about each and everyone of the tens of Americans that die today. We will see positive test increase but only because more test will be given. The rate of positive test might drop, but that isn’t going to be what is reported. We will also continue to see retarded single moms on Facebook post graphics they have no clue what they mean.

Should begin to drop soon. The social distancing and self quarantine shite didn’t start til about a week ago and would take close to 2 weeks to start seeing real results.

I believe it was fined for having some issues in the past.

I have also thought any stat from a nursing home should be thrown out. It’s a garbage stat to use due to how frail the people in it are.

New Orleans has it in a few nursing homes so that is contributing to most of the death count in la which is still small. Of course the media only puts age in the headline if the person is under 60. If they are over 60 and a nursing home patient that can be found in the last paragraph.

Yes, it was full of old people with pre=existing conditions.

We've seen a drop in the curve and a leveling of new cases each day despite testing tripling, yet the insane citizens of this state are constantly crying because they want a statewide lockdown. It's ridiculous. Right now the irrational fear has people more than happy to give up their rights and destroy the economy. Hopefully that sentiment reverses before we do irreparable damage.

We will have reacted appropriately so we didn't end up like Italy.

At the very least basic hand washing techniques were not used or the meal prep service had an issue. It's not like that 90 year old bed bound patient was up partying with the young hip 80 year olds.

Probably not. Thankfully, our leadership doesn't come here for advice on handling a global pandemic.

And how are they exactly? Less than 50,000 cases in a country of 60 million people. The way the media is reacting to the Italian numbers you'd think half the population was infected.

Nope...instead they illicit the advice of a scientist who predicted the deaths of thousands of Americans during the Ebola outbreak of 2014. Two people died.

You can see the numbers there as easily as I can. If you want to ignore or distort them, I can't help you.

They should've come here and asked the experts, I suppose.

Better than shutting down the global economy to kill a virus that will likely end up having a mortality rate below 1%. More people will likely die from the fallout than from the disease itself.

If only China and Italy had come here first, this whole thing could have been prevented.

The global economy hasn't been shut down. Don't be dramatic.
