Please use this thread to consolidate respectful discussion. Don’t feed the trolls.
When you check the country links for daily cases, this is following a pretty predictable spike wherein there is a slow ramp up followed by a noticeable decline in daily cases. China, S. Korea, France, and now Iran have seen noticeable daily declines in cases. The US hit 162 cases yesterday which has been our high. My guess is that we will probably either peak or start coming down pretty quickly. The only reason the perception of this that it is growing is that there are more countries seeing cases, which drives the overall numbers up, but on a country by country basis this virus seems to have a pretty predictable linear pattern. Will be watching Italy over the next few days as that seems to be an outlier but should start coming down fairly soon.

This is what I’ve been looking for. I just wish it had more of an explanation.

Nothing to see here, move along...Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

Here’s just a sampling of some of the stuff I’ve read online or seen TV over the past day. And from major news outlets.
Young children with their robust immune systems are more able to fight off the virus vs young children and older adults are the most vulnerable.

Thanks for posting today’s thread.
I was out shopping today and just for the fun of it checked out both the rubbing alcohol and TP, and both shelves were nuked.
I can’t help but wonder if the people who are rabidly stocking up on TP have thought of having enough food to need it all.
