re: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) ***W.H.O. DECLARES A GLOBAL PANDEMIC***

Probably, but there are a significant number of people who have croaked in the last week or two that hadn't gotten results back. I expect our rate to fall, but there will probably be a spike in deaths as well.

Wondering that too. Are there a number of deaths that havent been counted yet until the tests came back.

I believe car accidents are down significantly because no one is driving.

LouisianaGov is on New Orleans radio preparing people for what he expects to be the largest number of new confirmed coronavirus cases yet. But he says this is beecause of a backlog in private labs that is just now breaking through. Many new positives are older

From the beginning of testing ramp up along with new results reporting should have been emphasizing date of illness onset or date seen by dr/date test ordered by Dr if a wait or delay to actually get tested or at least date specimen taken (which should be easiest coming from labs).

I still think some panic and some just ignoring restrictions because it's still spreading after restrictions & distancing in place were because reports treated ramp up test results as new infections versus new confirmed cases of existing illnesses or infections. Difference in time frame should be getting smaller in future but first 2 weeks were an issue, and results reported today are still an issue for some. With incubation around 2 to 14 days, people waiting 1to 3 days after symptoms start before seeing a doctor (especially early on), having to go elsewhere for tests especially in beginning, and some labs pushing 5 or more days to give results this added info would be helpful.

CDC even shifted from illness onset to allowing date of specimen if onset not available on their onset tracker, and it still is tracking under 50,000 cases out of total using these dates when date specimen taken is taken is included in every lab report I have even seen of my results from private labs. I think CDC still tries to figure onset date which makes some sense for CDC wanting to track illness onset first with specimen date as fall back. Every state should be receiving date specimens were taken, and they should include tests & results by these dates as well as new daily results.

Over/under 100,000 confirmed US deaths by end of day 4/15?

No idea how to even begin to estimate that. Louisiana numbers just came out for today and the deaths are the same as yesterday + 3 with 69 more on vents since 3/31.

It’s definitely not in China. It’s like 5-6%

Italy is 20% for adults. But they are heading the way if America. obesity rates in Italian two-year-olds are the highest in Europe with a rate of 42%

Spain is 26.6% for adults

China is low as shite. 5%. But they also eat bats in live in a dirty shithole

Think that tab has been there for a few days at least. Wish I could go to a specific date to compare .. unless I can and don't see how.

I’ve had two friends get their test results from 10 days ago yesterday and today, both positive. Both all symptoms gone and feeling fine.

Also found out today my great Aunt and Uncle both in their 90s have it. Great Aunt was given HCQ and is recovering and looks like she will make it. Great Uncle is on ventilator. Not sure he will make it. 95 years old. Doesn’t look good.
