Detroit-area hospitals seeing ‘tsunami’ of coronavirus cases in national hot spot

U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams on Friday labeled Detroit as a “hot spot” for the coronavirus pandemic and said the situation there will worsen in the next week.

For those on the front lines of the crisis, reaching this point has been an unfortunate expectation.

“I have been saying all along as an epidemiologist that we are going to see a big tsunami,” said Dr. Teena Chopra, an infectious diseases specialist for Detroit Medical Center. “This is going to explode. We are seeing the surge. The growth rate is 100 percent. We are doubling every day...”

What if your city became a hot spot and nobody outside of it cared?

That might be Detroit.
Sad.

I Pray for this nation.

This is going to explode. We are seeing the surge. The growth rate is 100 percent.

Don't you need math to get into med school? Michigan had 3657 cases at the end of yesterday with 993 new cases today for a new total of 4650. That's not 100% growth. And that's state wide.

For the last 4 days the growth rate nationally has been slowing. New York had 100 fewer cases today than yesterday.

If the country is slowing Michigan will soon slow.

The number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in Michigan has risen to 4,658 . Total population of MI around 10 million

As usual no context just scary sounding sound bites and slogans from the Fake News

Michigan (Detroit) police say they’re ready for possible staffing shortages due to coronavirus outbreak

The number of Detroit police officers who are off duty and quarantined is remarkable.

As of Friday, 468 of the departments’ 2,200 officers, more than 20% of the force, were under quarantine due to having close contact with someone who contracted COVID-19 or because they were showing symptoms themselves. Another 39 officers were off-duty after testing positive for the coronavirus, Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan said Friday...

"And yet, just an hour away, we have just 17 cases and no deaths. Says something about population density."

I think there's been about four cases in the Upper Peninsula with one death in Gogebic county on the Wisconsin border.

There are 45 cases in Kent county currently ( Grand Rapids & suburbs). Still far less than the 1800 odd cases in Wayne county & Detroit. Your point stands, however.

YOU know what - stop acting like a jerk and giving instructions like you're the internet police. Stop being lazy and try a search engine instead of being a mindless "fake news" parrot. GOOD LORD.

You are not of the body......

Delta operates a major hub at Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW), which is actually located in Romulus, about 20 miles west of downtown Detroit. I go through this airport about 6 times per year; it is actually a very nice, very modern facility.

And Michigan’s governor has banned usage of hydroxychloroquine to treat it.

Ok. Post your numbers. You guys are very quick to criticize-so-call the ball. Give your over/under. Name the total number of deaths by the end of flu season (30 September) and then state what you think that number would have been without the enactment of Phase 2C (the States following of the Pence team plan).

What’s the number-quantity it. Put it on a page.

The numbers depend on the monthly quotas set by the globalists that will be needed to be filled in order to bring down America and president Trump.

You know I’m right!
