I find it interesting that it seems to cluster in one particular hot spot. This Lombardy region is getting crushed. China looked the same with Wuhan. We need to find our hot spot.

Well, aren't both Lombardy and Wuhan supposed to be jam packed with old people and we saw what it did in the nursing home.

My totally uneducated guess would put my money on Arizona and Florida.

They need to use that damn cruise ship docked off of SF as the testing ground on how to contain and treat it.

Besides those two days that had the large jump in cases due to the change in how they counted, today will be the largest single day increase since the outbreak began. The daily number of new cases is also back above the daily number of recoveries.

Under this draft decree, all gyms, swimming pools, museums, cultural centers, and ski resorts in those 12 provinces will be closed. Schools have already been closed.

No one would be allowed to enter or leave unless it is an emergency. Anyways getting back to the cruise ship I think we should have learned from the disaster that was the Diamond Princess. Probably should take them off the ship because leaving them onboard is condemning them to getting this virus if the sister ship is any indication.

US hospitals are preparing for 96 MILLION coronavirus infections and nearly HALF A MILLION deaths, leaked documents reveal.

quote:

Almost half a million (480,000) Americans are expected to die from coronavirus 

4.8 million will be hospitalized and 96 million infected

Figures come from leaked slides from a presentation by Dr. James Lawler, a University of Nebraska Medical Center professor and hosted by AHA

They show the spread of the deadly disease could be far worse than officials claim, with the crisis 10 times greater than a severe flu season

The shock figures fly in the face of claims made by President Trump who has maintained on many occasions that the risk to Americans is 'low'

Lawler estimated people with heart conditions have a one in 10 chance of dying from the disease, compared to less than one in a 100 among healthy individuals 

Trump signed a spending bill to allocate $8.3 billion to tackle the crisis Friday

US has around 300 cases and 17 confirmed deaths, after Florida confirmed its first two deaths Friday

quote:

US Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn: As of Friday at 6 p.m. ET, 5,861 tests for coronavirus have been completed by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and public health labs.


ETA:

quote:

JUST IN: FDA & HHS can’t say exactly how many people tested for coronavirus in US. In off-camera WH briefing today officials confirm 5,861 specimens have been tested by fed, state, local labs, but since people often get more than 1 test, it’s not a 1:1 ratio.


quote:

MORE: FDA says CDC (feds) have tested 3500 specimens which represents 1583 patients, but cannot provide patient breakdown for state and local specimens. Could not explain why they don’t have this overall number, said CDC is working on it.

It's good to prepare for a horrible scenario and get a less horrible scenario.

Still hoping for an underwhelming pandemic.

I know someone on that ship with her mother. We just exchanged some interesting FB posts because it’s all I can do to not straight up call them stupid for getting on it in the first place.
