I'd love to know how these numbers are calculated. China is reporting about 80,000 cases so far with a population 6x ours, much more densely populated areas, less sanitary practices, etc.

Looking for confirmation but it is being reported on Twitter that the guy from Brazil that met with Trump this week is back home and showing signs of CV. Something to keep an eye on...
Honestly, why even have Acosta in the room anymore? Neither of them can act like adults in a discussion - just snide questions with jackass responses. Do the rest of us really have to continue hearing this crap?
China closed their whole country and hasn't opened it back up yet.
****** or not, is that really the response you want the leader of the free world to give during a pandemic?
He treats Acosta like the clown he is. I think it's hilarious.
Yes. Because it's a stupid question.GarlandAg2012 said:

Yes. Acosta is worth any heat he gets in any situation.
Ok - doesn't answer my question though.

It will get spun, but I'd guarantee that's just his response to Acosta at this point.
He could also be referring to the fact he isn't concerned is Fake News.

I can't wait until this is over and the gubmit had so much fun "protecting us" that they look for even more **** to protect us from. Like ourselves for instance.
For a while China was reported test kit / lab confirmation only. The big spike one day on the charts was when they switched their official count to clinical diagnosis by CT scan or by the physician.
China also doesn't report deaths with comorbidities the same way we do so the mortality may be understated.
The US and most countries I think are only reporting lab confirmed tests.

I'd say the numbers being reported are certainly the less than actual. You can also estimate number of transmissions by genetic mutations and time per hop do that is being done as well.

I've got production plants in Zhuhai and Zibo with offices in Beijing and Hong Kong that are staffed and in full production. I skype called them at 4 this morning. They were on the conference rooms at each facility. I've got containers on ships from China to N. America. Hell, they literally just had an article about Wuhan opening back up.
Great. What about restaurants, cafes, stores, and schools? Unless people I know and trust are lying to me every school in Shanghai is still closed.

Shanghai isn't the whole country as you put it on your comment.

Total rumor but United flight 1289 from SLC to IAH had to turn back because of a medical emergency. Individual was coughing heavily and then passed out.

I think it's time for GWB and Obama to make a joint appearance somewhere. This country could use some presidential leadership.
As much as you'd love to overthrow the current executive this would have about as much impact on coronavirus as me holding in my farts all day. What on Earth do you think this would actually accomplish?
Some people are scared out of their minds. Need some calm and reassuring voices and emotional support:
Trump: "Don't panic. This will pass, and we'll be fine."
Liberals: "REEEEEEEE!!! He's not taking this seriously! How unpresidential! He's just worried about November!"
Obama: "Don't panic. This will pass, and we'll be fine."
Liberals: "That's how a president is speed to act! **** Trump!"
Granted. As far as I know, most restaurants, shops, and schools in the whole country are still closed. Many larger businesses are up and running. But I don't think things are anywhere near back to normal.

Hell, they've started reopening the ****ing amusement parks...But nope, country still closed.

Maybe your colleagues are just full of **** and don't want to go back to work and are lying to you. But my employees and millions upon millions upon millions of others are back to work and have been for weeks.

Are there metrics/charts for Wuhan being back up? I believe there was an article referenced...
Did you read the article? Most schools aren't open yet.
Did they close down colloquially their whole country? Yes. Maybe not the whole thing 100% but pretty much.
Have they opened it back up yet? No. Maybe partially but when the majority of schools around the country are still closed it's not done.
I don't know why you're so intent to go to the mattresses on this.

The 1968-69 flu sucked. It went thru central Texas like a whirlwind. I got it on a Sunday, missed a whole week of school with a terrible fever of alternating sweats and and chills. Went back to school (8th grade) the following Monday and 2/3rds of every class I was in was empty. Needless to say, teachers mostly had us check out & read school library books till most everyone was back, which was about 3 weeks total (counting the week I was out).Pelayo said:Ok.

I got swine flu as a healthy high school student and it had me close to immobile for a week.
Very few of our teachers got it. Perhaps that was due to an immunity developed from exposure to previous flu's of similar genetics earlier in their lifetimes.
Not metrics. But an article

Except it's not. So much of what Trump has said publicly has been directly contradicted by Fauci, other CDC officials, and the inarguable reality of the numbers. To name just a few examples...
Trump: the current number of COVID-19 cases in the U.S. is "going very substantially down, not up."
- Not even remotely true.
Trump: the U.S. is "rapidly developing a vaccine" for COVID-19 and "will essentially have a flu shot for this in a fairly quick manner."
- Not even remotely true.
Trump: "Anyone who wants a test gets a test."
- Not even remotely true.
None of the above is "fake news." All of those contradictions - plus many more - are on video, directly disputed by the experts, with hard facts. Why should Trump not have to answer for these lies? I don't care what side of the isle you're on, we should expect more from our leaders, especially during times like these.
