EXCLUSIVE: China is re-shuttering all of its cinemas nationwide as it continues to battle coronavirus, according to Deadline sources.
The country's national film bureau has contacted all exhibitors today saying that venues must be closed again, with no immediate timeframe for re-opening. The news has begun to spread across popular social media service Weibo.
This weekend, a ray of light seemed to be shining from the Middle Kingdom when more than 500 cinemas re-opened their doors to the public after being closed since late January (though largely no one turned up). That represented only 4.5% of the country's cinema real estate, and didn't include its major chains, but there was optimism that this was just the first wave and that others would follow suit in the coming weeks into April.

Yeah. Dallas should really be ashamed of themselves. To use the covidactnow data as gospel is borderline criminal.
Sure hope yall remember it when it comes to voting.
70's for the next 10 days in Houston. I looked earlier today.AgLiving06 said:Fitch said:
I'm a little hesitant to re-post this given some prior COVID-19 website models being developed by silicon valley tech guys w/o significant virology experience. The chart that was circulated when Dallas County went under the SIP is a direct product from that team.
This one seems more accredited, but, as with any forecast model, take it with a grain of salt: https://covid19.healthdata.org/projections
This model seems pretty reasonable.
The potential for 81,000 deaths line up pretty well with the newer estimates being put out.
The one variable I'm not as confident in is they have us effectively in a full decline on the death rate from here on out.
Given how big the US is, I'm less confident that we won't have a flair up somewhere. On the flip side, we are hitting 90 degrees in Houston today and I guess we'll see if that plays a role as well.
Oh, I know. Hell, we voted ourselves 3 different tax raises last year "for the children". So, this is definitely coming.tysker said:Not to pour gas on your fire but just wait until the Dallas city council needs to raise taxes due to unfunded pension liabilities that have now gotten even larger due to the market downturn.YouBet said:

Darn. They had really leveled off the past few days.The Fall Guy said:
Just under 1,000 dead Italy yesterday!!
Already at 1,481 deaths 2 1/2 days later. We will see where we are on 3/31. I think we will be over 3,000 deaths.FbgTxAg said:BoydCrowder13 said:
US has gone from 109 to 780 deaths in exactly one week. Need that trend to break.
TOTAL Deaths. TOTAL.
Do you think we do 7x700 this week? 4,900 deaths IN ADDITION to the 700 we start with?? This week??
Or just another 700?
My money is on 700 more TOTAL. Making it 1400ish total. My original guess was 1200 on March 30.

The constant prattling on and on that only old people over 60 were going to die is going to come back and bite a lot of people in the backside (will be interesting to see how the numbers will shake out over the next couple of weeks amongst those who ignored warnings and partied over spring break).
Funny, because people here on Forum 16 have suggested that all we have to do is just lock up all the olds for the next couple of months, and everyone else will be just fine.Rapier108 said:No one here ever said that only people over 60 will die from it.Goose61 said:

People over 60, and those with underlying health issues, are the most at risk.
This virus can infect anyone, and can kill anyone. No one has ever said differently.
If everyone let's say 50 and up was isolated for 30-60 days with zero outside contacts, it would reduce the number of serious/critical cases by a large number.Goose61 said:Funny, because people here on Forum 16 have suggested that all we have to do is just lock up all the olds for the next couple of months, and everyone else will be just fine.Rapier108 said:No one here ever said that only people over 60 will die from it.Goose61 said:

Yes, what you said is true, but too many people are hearing what they want to hear, and therein lies the problem.

The long lines and stacks of ash urns greeting family members of the dead at funeral homes in Wuhan are spurring questions about the true scale of coronavirus casualties at the epicenter of the outbreak, renewing pressure on a Chinese government struggling to control its containment narrative.
The families of those who succumbed to the virus in the central Chinese city, where the disease first emerged in December, were allowed to pick up their cremated ashes at eight local funeral homes starting this week. As they did, photos circulated on Chinese social media of thousands of urns being ferried in.
Outside one funeral home, trucks shipped in about 2,500 urns on both Wednesday and Thursday, according to Chinese media outlet Caixin. Another picture published by Caixin showed 3,500 urns stacked on the ground inside. It's unclear how many of the urns had been filled.
People who answered the phone at six of the eight funeral homes in Wuhan said they either did not have data on how many urns were waiting to be collected, or were not authorized to disclose the numbers. Calls were not answered at the other two.
Some families said they had been forced to wait for several hours to pick up the ashes. The photos circulated as mass deaths from the virus spiked in cities across the west, including Milan, Madrid and New York, where hospitals were erecting tents to handle the overflow as global infections soar past 500,000, with 24,000 dead.

The important tally from Italy is new infections, not deaths.
Deaths are far more random. New infections are a better indicator of the effect of suppression policies. And on that front, it seems Italy has peaked.
(I'd also like to see deaths and infected for Italy broken down geographically, since Lombardy was where it first detonated.)

Looks like it's coming down all over, but we'll probably know way more on MondayQuote:
The data collected is in a continuous phase of consolidation and, as foreseeable in an emergency, some information they are incomplete. In particular, it should be noted, especially in the Regions in which a sustained local transmission of the virus, the possibility of a delay of a few days between the time of the execution of the buffer for diagnosis and reporting on the dedicated platform. Graphs, tables and maps are automatically generated and may be subject to small graphic defects that do not impact on the accuracy of the data presented. The maps show cases by municipality of diagnosis and province when these coincide with the Region / PPAA of diagnosis.
