I guarantee you it will be pretty much the exact same as today. EVERYWHERE.

quote me on it.

US has 2,335 confirmed cases today. 50 deaths.

What do you think it hits by the end of the month?

Two weeks ago, we bought 2 packs of Costco toilet paper, the one we needed, plus one extra.

If that runs out before the **** stops hitting the fan, the toilet in our bathroom is two steps from a walk-in shower with a handheld showerhead. I fear getting to that point, mostly because if I try it, I'll probably end up buying a nice bidet when this is all over.

Less than 1000. Pretty sure 21 or 22 of the 50 is from the same nursing home in Washington.

Damn we can quote you on it?

More or less than "I will come back and eat crow" ?

the 50 deaths are an extreme outlier. We had a literal captive population of extreme/elderly/sick that it ran rampant through in a short period of time. If this had not happened in a nursing home our number might not even be 15 nationwide.

---

So let's hear your prediction.

so you're saying this is a nothing burger in two weeks?

My prediction is that none of our major cities are going to be Mad Maxing it like cone is indicating.

Stepping around giving an answer.

Like a true politician.

I starred it because it's funny, not because it's a good idea.

The CDC primers aren't working well at all.

ETA: the test kits include qPCR and additional probes which highly increase the specificity. They should've just chosen more specific primers.

I already bet cone a bottle of bourbon that the US won't see more than 50k dead from Wuhan Flu by end of the year

It is good to see some of the posters pushing UHC are now seeing how terrible government can be. Mr. Socialism is coming is getting a wake up call

22 and there are several others from other nursing homes in Seattle.

32 of the 50 deaths are in King County, WA with 4 more in Snohomish County.

All but 4 are over 70,(2 in their 50s, and 2 in their 60) and 3 of those four are from the nursing home of doom.

As of earlier today, Washington has tested 6569 people with 658 being positive and 6001 being negative, which is right at 10% for everyone who loves numbers. This is down from nearly 20% at the beginning of the week.

Also on that nursing home,

Cone is making it seem like areas are going to descend into post -apocalyptic wastelands, and that will not be the case.

The electricity will still be on. Water will still come out of the pipes. Food will still be hitting shelves.

Yes, people will worry about their jobs, their rent/mortgages/utilities.

The VAST majority of existing cases are proving to be mild without requiring a significant increase in medical attention. And that will be the case even in larger metro areas.

WE (Seattle) are two weeks ahead of the erst of the country, with the highest number of deaths and the highest number of infected, and our hospitals are not collapsing. The majority of people are able to deal with it at home.

Even with the spike in numbers nationwide, the vast majority of communities are not going to have a spike in this int eh next two weeks. And none are going to be going full mad Max.

---

Please share how you think the ferals, homeless, and criminals will act.

Criminals already don't abide by the law. Homeless people already have nothing to lose. Ferals already don't behave in a civilized manner. How does a virus make that worse?

Please respond to your claim of Apple not paying workers during their two week store shutdown which they directly said they would in the article you posted

Cross post from Coronavirus board:

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.09.20033217v1.full.pdf

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19, has the ability to survive on surfaces for several hours, or even days, according to a preprint published this week by researchers at the National Institutes of Health, Princeton, and the University of California, Los Angeles.

The researchers exposed various materials to the virus in the lab. They found that it remained virulent on surfaces for a lengthy period: from up to 24 hours on cardboard to up to two or three days on plastic and stainless steel. It also remained viable in aerosolsattached to particles that stay aloft in the airfor up to three hours. That's all basically in line with the stability of SARS.

Can you translate that to english please

That's because Italy is only hospitalizing younger people and letting the old die. What a stupid *****.

Now, tell me the health of those 35 people....It's ok. I'll wait.

Source or delete it please

The number of positives just means they're using less stringent test screening now.

The real question is how many positives are they finding now that they would have precluded from tests by screening before.

Underlying health conditions? Or do you not think that's relevant?

Companies are getting hit hard by this so they are trying to adapt, which is why I feel the message from the White House should have been stronger (though I understand not wanting to cause mass panic).

It's why you're getting so many damn emails from companies on "how they are going to respond", it's not just an additional way to get seen in your Inbox, but it's them basically making a desperate attempt to convince you to still come into their establishment.

My facebook feed is covered with people pushing for everyone to support local businesses and if you are young and/or healthy to go out to restaurants and bars - when basically every medical professional is saying don't go out if you don't have to, and if you do go out certainly don't go to places with crowds.

I mean, I'm sure those $10/hour employees at Top Golf are really making sure your safety is their #1 concern... No, Top Golf just can't afford to go patron-less for an extended period of time so they are going to try and persuade you that there's nothing to worry about.
