Worldometer dropped over 6000 positives off their website for some reason. That’s odd. They changed their numbers last night too.
Almost 14k new cases in the US today and it will probably be near 20k before the days over. Sad there are 96 deaths today but still <1% CFR.
I'm talking about daily # of cases, not total #'s.Where are you getting these numbers from? The CNN ticker (I'm aware it's not the most current info, but I can't imagine it being 10K+ off-base) has the US at 31K cases. We were at 27-29K yesterday.
Spain is basically at Italy numbers from about 11 days ago. Charts align, deaths, deaths per day, cases, and cases per day.
Unless Spain turns it around they are going to be Italy within the next week.
NY its hard to gouge because of the case dump they did today. But deaths they are way behind Italy. By the time Italy was at 22K cases they had 1400 deaths and were a day away from breaking 300 deaths a day. But the NY case dump makes it harder to align the graphs.
For Canada at this time Italy already had about 40 deaths (double ours) 400+ case per day(more than double us) and was about to break 20 deaths per day.
France still behind Italy in total deaths and deaths per day. UK is in line with Italy though so another trouble spot. Boris better hope those tests he is going to buy work out.
Daily mail and all that
US is totally on a different level than Italy when it comes to average age of population and healthcare. Plus Italy's method of recording deaths is not entirely accurate because they're throwing everyone into the pool of Coronavirus deaths even though that person was dying from something else.
There are over 335,000 cases worldwide. Of course, it is not only the elderly and people with pre-existing conditions who have severe disease progressions. These individual reports distort reality enormously. Every severe case, regardless of age, is one too many.
And yet it must be said, of course there are reasons for a severe course even in an apparently absolutely healthy 12-year-old. Just because we did not know or are not aware of these causes it does not mean that they do not exist. Nothing in this world happens without a reason.
Every day there are thousands of people who are diagnosed with a previously unknown heart or lung defect during a routine check-up. The immune system can be weakened or overreact. It can be a superinfection. Is the child overweight? Does she smoke? When was the last large blood count taken (spoiler: probably years ago)? Are there nutritional deficiencies?
I think you are ignoring how many cases the USA reported today. Also there is nothing wrong with the Italian healthcare system, it is just getting swamped. The US is due for a massive shock in a couple of weeks.
NYPD commissioner says 98 employees have coronavirus
From CNN’s Kristina Sgueglia
There are 98 members of the New York Police Department who have tested positive for coronavirus, according to NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea.
Of the 98, 70 are uniformed and 28 are civilian employees. Shea said 95 of 98 are recovering at home.
He believes three remain hospitalized. One was discharged Sunday.
The belief at this time with limited information is that these people did not necessarily contract coronavirus at work, Shea said.
As society contracts this disease, so do we,” Shea said.
He said the "normal sick rate" for the NYPD is approaching about "double that rate," adding that he saw the numbers go up when the virus took hold roughly around March 17.
He said the department is in "very good shape" in terms of resources, but "we plan for it every day.”
"We are not at the point where we’re close to going to 12-hour tours," he said. "What we are doing, though, is planning for all eventualities."
People who were previously put on quarantine have come back to work, Shea said.

LOL I'm not ignoring anything. Have you checked the total population #'s for Italy compared to the USA? US #'s are going to go skyrocket but deaths is the # to keep track of, not total # of cases. Right now in the US the CFR is much lower than it is in Italy and it has to do with healthcare and an aging population in Italy.I think you are ignoring how many cases the USA reported today. Also there is nothing wrong with the Italian healthcare system, it is just getting swamped. The US is due for a massive shock in a couple of weeks.
Basically, we will probably all eventually get it. Hope for weak strains over the months and years to come.

Chinese bots seem to be running amok on Twitter, and seem to have a heavy connection to the #TrumpVirus hashtag. There is a whole rabbit hole of retardation to fall into there, with a heavy push that the US somehow covered up the Kung Flu last winter.
I am expecting 60-100 million in the U.S. will be part of the: will be or have been infected group. If there was ~60 million H1N1 in the U.S., then this seems possible. In the end, it will be to hope for less powerful strains to live so that we have mild to no symptoms. I hope the quarantine proves me wrong.
The mask situation almost feels like some sort of conspiracy. I have heard from 3 nurses in 2 states this same story(directly, not 3rd hand). They all had masks and equipment in storage. About 2 weeks ago, the masks were "moved or stolen." The locations were key card protected and it has to be either internal directive, or just people stealing. It was all there, they are storing or saving them. I cannot believe they were stolen. This is direct information from 3 different hospitals, in 2 states.
You only wear an n95 if you are in the room with the patient. When you leave the room, you can wear a surgical mask if you like. Some nurses might end up walking. They are not happy. They will all get sick.
The mask issue may be a problem anyhow. From what I found on the internet, Covid is .120 micrometers. The n95 only protects object at or above .3 micrometers.
It is starting to bloom in the hospitals in these locations.
Basically, we will probably all eventually get it. Hope for weak strains over the months and years to come.
So I guess thats Chairman Tickles twitter.
I think somebody posted in this thread a Reddit link about someone doing a "deep dive" into COVID stuff and talked about ACE receptors in the small intestine. I can't seem to find that. Does that ring a bell for anyone?
Also Italy's culture is very family-oriented. They are more used to living with family even as adults and even extended family with grandparents. That might have to do also with how this spread so far there.This is German data. About 80% of cases are under the age of 60. Lines up pretty well with SK as well. Now compare that to Italy where more than half the cases are over 60.
Right now in the US the CFR is much lower than it is in Italy and it has to do with healthcare and an aging population in Italy.
The DailyBeast is in on it too:

A State Department cable obtained by The Daily Beast says the U.S. and the American people are the “greatest humanitarians the world has ever known.”www.thedailybeast.com
With how FaceBook got raked over the coals for a few shitty ads, I hope some Republicans have the balls to hold the media accountable for spreading Chinese propaganda.

The US death rate is very low right now but the reason so many people are dying in Italy is because the hospitals are strained. This hasn't occurred yet in the United States. If this occurs in the United States, the death rate will go up. This is why flattening the curve is so important. Also, you have to keep a close watch on those in serious condition because it means they are on ventilators. In the United States it is 795. Some of these people will die and as this number increases with each day, more will die.
Shame
You don’t seem to understand how this works. If you record over 30,000 cases a day you will be seeing a lot of deaths. The death count is always delayed in comparison because of how long being infected turning to death takes.LOL I'm not ignoring anything. Have you checked the total population #'s for Italy compared to the USA? US #'s are going to go skyrocket but deaths is the # to keep track of, not total # of cases.

Just remember, bots are not just posting on twitter, they are posting to other forums.
Well now we’re fucked. McDonalds is closing all its UK branches. Can’t even get it delivered. Kill me now.
Yes, but that's all speculation. ACE2 is highly abundant in the human lung and small intestine epithelia (biological term for covering tissue and glandular tissue), which could be a potential entry route for the virus. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a functional receptor for the coronavirus. There have been increasing reports that data based on experimental cell biological and animal studies suggest that ACE inhibitors and Sartane (both are cardiac drugs) may increase the activity of ACE2 in the heart, potentially promoting COVID-19 infections and severity.
Shame
Look at the brightside if other fast food restaurants close for the time being, maybe obesity will drop.
I have read and heard the opposite for a long time (at least for Cov-1), until this last week. They suggest you keep on your ACE and ARBS, and there is possible evidence of benefit.
I think this is interesting and should be viewed, in regards to this subject.
