That wouldn't be a surprising stat though.
You can already see the bend in Italy and the US isn't that far behind. The projections that far ahead are looking at rates that will not hold.
Right. Like I said I make no guarantee they go up, down, or stay the same. It's just a trendline.

There’s no second term for Trump if this happens
9/11 was much more preventable than this, but people still rallied around Bush in 2004. This is a much much much more difficult line to walk for Trump, but I like his chances to defeat Biden if he hold this country together. Trump is a political genius so my money is on him.

GOP do you see people who aren’t sick getting tested at some point or the need for it? Or who cares? Just curious if they would do this if tests were readily available
Certainly. Testing healthy people is absolutely a key part in beating this virus. For example, we need to test every doctor and nurse regularly, and those who work with COVID-19 patients need to be tested every day.
Everyone who lives in a nursing home needs to be tested at least weekly. Everyone who works there too.
I don't know how high our testing numbers can really get, but the more, the better.
Veneto, Italy was able to eliminate the virus by basically testing everyone.

Iceland has basically been in the process of doing the same thing, but they hit a roadblock this weekend and are facing a shortage of swabs.

I’ve been checking in via text just to make sure our people are their normal level of well. Doubt they’re testing anyone.

I have a friend who's a 50-year-old woman who was diagnosed with pneumonia this evening. They told her to treat this as if she has COVID-19, and she is going to quarantine. But, of course, they aren't going to test her unless she gets worse.
Which naturally means that all of her coworkers probably aren't going to quarantine themselves -- which is why we need to be able to test.

Why won’t they test? I thought we had enough tests now?? does the X-ray look like “normal” pneumonia?

I don't know. I am going to call and talk to her in the morning.

According to this site we went from 9,966 tests performed by March 10th to 294,056 tests performed by today March 23. Around 250,000 of those were done in past 7 days
Including 150,000 from past 4 days.
I do wonder when daily tests will peak. Also when there will not be any backlog of suspected cases not able to test yet making any delay just being time from when people feel symptoms to time they see a doctor or other healthcare provider.

Hope she’s better quickly.

Tests in Lafayette at the drive thru site seem to be slowing down. Nearly 100 today with only 50 or 60 something eligible per the news report.

I’m sticking with my prediction that they will relax the restrictions starting around June/July and then slap them back on in September through end of winter. We come out on the other side a different country, a country with millions on hard economic times who weren’t before, but our healthcare system will still be operating and the core pillars of our country will remain standing and provide the foundation that will allow us to rebuild. We will rebuild and by the end of Trump’s second term we will be back on track and more prepared for the next pandemic at every level, from the individual on up. We’ve been blessed as individuals and a country to have never dealt with anything like this for over 100 years, and it has been a rude awakening that we were not adequately prepared and we are paying the price
This post is idiotic
By the end of April we will have the testing capacity and the test result time down to same day to quarantine who needs to be quarantined plus a treatment that lowers the death rate even more and gets people out of the hospital faster

The Chinese are lifting the restrictions on Hubei province at midnight, Wuhan will still be restricted until April 8th.

Why is the media pumping the 48% of cases are from ages 20-64?
no shite the entire working population has about half the cases

I think we all know the answer to that.

I’m sure it’s been discussed but India is fricked once it sets in there
I believe it's already there, they just don't have the testing or consolidated national reporting to give good numbers.
They're also at the forefront of prophylaxis. They've told all vulnerable, healthcare workers, and family members of infected to start taking hydroxycloroquine (sp?) as a preventative for critical symptoms.

That's why I am extremely confident that we'll get to over 150,000 daily tests in less than two weeks
The capacity to give 150k a day will be here in a few days. The question is have most of the symptomatic folks already been tested by that point?
Soon we'll be ahead of the demand on testing. That is when we are really winning.

The critical cases in this demo band are also heavily weighted towards the top.
They are just trying to scare young people into not being assholes and not quarantining.

A pandemic preparedness report was put together by Johns Hopkins last year. The US ranked number one (most prepared) to deal with a pandemic. It is interesting to compare the countries on the list to where they are now in dealing with the pandemic and it will also be interesting to see when this is all over. It is obvious that a countries wealth was a major factor in their rankings.
Rankings were based on the following categories:

Rankings were based on the following categories:
quote:
Prevention: Fewer than 7% of countries score in the highest tier for the ability to prevent the emergence or release of pathogens.
Detection and Reporting: Only 19% of countries receive top marks for detection and reporting.
Rapid Response: Fewer than 5% of countries scored in the highest tier for their ability to rapidly respond to and mitigate the spread of an epidemic.
Health System: The average score for health system indicators is 26.4 of 100.
Compliance with International Norms: Less than half of countries have submitted Confidence-Building Measures under the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) in the past three years, an indication of their ability to adhere to important international norms and commitments related to biological threats.
Risk Environment: Only 23% of countries score in the top tier for indicators related to their political system and government effectiveness.

Something else interesting on this site is the number of how many are hospitalized.
We have about a 7% hospitalization rate which is lower than the 10-20% seen everywhere else. That’s one reason we haven’t gotten our asses kicked by this yet
