Really? That's awesome. Can you send me the link my man?
No, at work on my phone. But Google CDC corona virus count. It's like the 2nd link.
It's still looking like this won't kill anywhere near as many people as the flu this year;
Not sure if posted elsewhere but it's also trending toward a sub-1 percent mortality rate in the US.

Dow is up around 1200 points as it looks like Nancy is going to cave and allow the US Gov't to put through a package.

I like the first because of the logarithmic graphs. I know this is the Positive News thread, but I'm not sure that Johnny's characterization is accurate. If you click the log charts for both total cases and deaths, the lines are pretty flat (i.e., not bending).
Doc Reveille yesterday: "We have some very positive news also! The combination of hydroxychloroquine and zithromax combination is starting to be used widely in many trials and reports are still very encouraging. Early reports are now saying that we have yet to see a patient on this combination require a ventilator. This is very early but still encouraging. If can slow down the amount of critical patients and deaths, this virus will just become a 2 wk netflix binge. And contrary to a doctor on CNN this is not a highly dangerous drug that has not been tested. He is right in that it has limited testing with COVID but it has been out for 65 years and we have tremendous experience with many other diseases. Yes, it has many side effects as I have pointed out previously. Some are considered serious but they are not common and if you are positive for COVID-19 in my opinion the benefits probably outweigh the risks. Certainly, if it is available I will definitely be using it in my patients, family or even myself. There is also a trial started in healthcare workers to see if it prevents the virus. So that should be interesting news, if it does and we can protect the healthcare workers this would be a huge breakthrough in getting things back to normal."
Oh hell yes! Thanks 74 for bringing that over to this thread. Sounds promising!

Probably just a typo. Obviously he meant ventilators.Reginald Cousins said:Does he mean ventilators? 1000 respirator masks isn't many.CFTXAG10 said:

There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Nuclear scientists in Austria are closing in on new coronavirus testing kits that could dramatically lower the cost and time it takes to diagnose people for the disease.
With Covid-19 tests in short supply in many places, some individuals have turned to private laboratories that can genetically detect the pathogen. That process, called reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, or RT-PCR, can cost as much as $400 in some private facilities.
But the International Atomic Energy Agency expects it can produce Covid-19 tests costing as little as 10 euros ($10.83) that yield a diagnosis within hours, according to an spokesperson, who said the IAEA kits are close to being shipped.
While the IAEA's individual tests may top out at 15 euros a person, countries will still need laboratories to process the results. Setting up a new facility from scratch can cost as much as 100,000 euros, according to the agency.
The IAEA's lab outside Vienna has previously developed kits testing for Ebola, Zika and African Swine Fever. Fourteen countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America asked the agency's scientists earlier this month to help them ramp up testing. The effort drew an extra $5 million of funding on Tuesday from the U.S. State Department.
Holy crap we took a dive today. New cases in Washington have been fairly linear for the past five days (200-250) with a peak of 258 new cases on Sunday. That in itself is good news. Today's new cases was less than half of that average.

Oh well crap. That's not good news at all. UW site was updated at 3:15 and there's a message at 3:45 from the state site saying their DB was down due to x10 increase in test results. They must have gotten it back up with a swarm of new results.AgsMyDude said:Tabasco said:Looking on your U of W link, it is showing 3207 (+738 today)Snap E Tom said:University of Washington.AgsMyDude said:Snap E Tom said:

I think the only positive thing to come out of this crap so far, is that lots of great artists like Cody Johnson, Wade Bowen, Randy Rogers, etc have been doing live facebook concerts at night. I usually can't watch them then, but checking back on those videos the next day while working is making this slightly better for me.
