I think we are going to have huge pockets all over the place. I think next week is going to be ugly. In the meantime, WE still can't get test kits down here.

Jackson Memorial, associated with UNIV of MIA school of medicine, this morning, said they had SEVERAL thousand available through a state or commercial lab--but they couldn't cut through the red tape to start administering them. The MD blamed it on the CDC.

Testing does not prevent infection.

So is the left just going to keep hitting the panic button for the next few months or what?
Mainly older people with weakened immune systems will be getting sick...FACT!
We know this already. :palm:

Perhaps they will try. People will stop listening to them when the weather warms up. They can't keep this fear mongering up forever on this.

The death toll is more morbid but at least we don’t have to guess at it.

This morning it creeped up to 48. That’s an *exceedingly* modest number for a disease that’s supposedly presents some sort of existential threat to a country of over 300 million people.

And what about Washington State? Shouldn’t they be getting ravaged by now? Washington got their first case in *January* and as of now they have 457 cases in Washington across 13 counties, including 31 deaths.

I googled Washington because I was interested to see if their healthcare system was being ‘overwhelmed’ or not. Couldn’t find much so I ran some numbers myself.

457 cases spread across 13 counties. Each county is going to have several hospitals on average and that’s likely a conservative estimate.

So roughly 30 hospitals to serve 450 COVID cases. But keep in mind that not every case represents a patient since the vast majority of cases are relatively mild. Mild cases get quarantined, stay at home and ride it out. Go with a 10% admission rate and that’s 45 patients spread across 30 hospitals. That should be fairly manageable. Keep in mind this is in the heart of the COVID ‘war zone’.

But wait, is the 450 cases have or had? Might have to find that out because if that’s the total number of cases they’ve had—since January, then our work is done here. There’s no hospital bed-crisis worth talking about.

At any rate, the 100,000 OH COVID cases is a guess because it can’t be anything else without testing. I can drive deep into OH in a couple hours from where I’m sitting in WV and WV has zero known cases. WV is last in everything lol. 100,000 COVID cases in OH and zero right across the Ohio River in WV? Something doesn’t add up.

But ok, maybe there really are that many cases in OH. It’s going to be a ‘so, what?’ pretty soon if some numbers don’t start jumping up.

A lot.

The only thing 'ravaging' around Washington is panic.
Most of the cases in King County came from a single hospital.
The only people that have died from this flu are those that would have quite probably died from any winter flu.

massive democratic hoax?
You just think about that," he mused. "We are in some tough times in Ohio. And, it's very, very important for us to do everything we can do slow this down."

DeWine said he knew that actions like closing schools had other consequences, but that the goal is to avoid encountering problems like "the situation" in Italy.

Ohio's top health officials announced that there are likely over 100,000 undiagnosed cases of COVID-19 in the state thus far.

No facts; just a bunch of hyperbolic bullshit from a nut job who wants to make himself look important. Shame on this Governor for being such a dumb dupe.

There are now 3,244 positive cases of COVID-19 in the US and 62 deaths.

DeWine is a RINO, and the person who made the 100,000 estimate, admitted later that it was actually a "guesstimate".

Nah, this is Fake News. Coronavirus can't hit the G.O.A.T.

The president declared a national emergency.

This is not about politics.

He would not have done that if he had any other choice. You know that.

People who are not following instructions from the government are making it worse.

The G.O.A.T. is immune from a national emergency (as long as we keep Michigan folks out).
