Who in U.S. has passed away, and where, from coronavirus?

Obviously, the coronavirus story changes by the moment. But here is a snapshot in time of coronavirus deaths, as reported by CDC and in news reports.

The majority of U.S. deaths to date (31 of 40) have occurred among the elderly, sick in Washington State nursing homes or long term care facilities.

A majority of the Washington State deaths (27 of 31) occurred in King County.

A majority of the King County deaths in Washington State (22 of 31) occurred at the same elderly nursing facility in Kirkland. This large cluster in one facility is under investigation.

There have also been three deaths in Snohmish County, and one in Grant County (Washington State).

>>...assuming China’s stats are roughly accurate.<<

That is an assumption I would never make. In my opinion, they’re a complete joke, and Xi just wants to get the factories humming again.

But there’s no question that people around the world are taking some comfort in the numbers from China. After all, propaganda does work.

Mass hysteria?

First it ravages China, and is stopped (supposedly) only with draconian quarantine measures.

Then Iran ignores it until it’s too late and it kills 500 people in a matter of a couple weeks, with no signs of stopping.

Next Italy’s healthcare system is overwhelmed, with another 1,000+ dead, again with no signs of stopping.

Then it spreads across Europe, to the point that several countries have given up on containment and are now trying to get their citizens to behave responsibly so it doesn’t overwhelm their own healthcare systems.

And, thanks to Trump’s ban on travel from China, it arrives here later, but is now accelerating at the same rate as it did in China, Italy, Germany, France, UK, etc., so unless we behave differently all we have to do to see our future is look at, say, Italy or France or Spain.

So, no, not mass hysteria, but yes, now everyone is finally starting to pay attention here too. Sometimes it takes a 4x4 though.

Try this. Click on a state on the U.S. map and you should get a list of cases in the state.

I haven’t posted a link before, so I hope it works okay. Looks okay in Preview.

>>What’s up with the toilet paper?<<

I’ve been curious about that too. But then you consider that half the country is supposedly living paycheck to paycheck, so maybe they’re also living roll to roll too?

I do know this. It’s one commodity I really don’t want to run out of, and it’s cheap so stocking up is easy to do.

If they had been tested earlier for the COVID-19, this situation would have been contained. Thank you for your good information. No thanks for Mr Inslee for dropping the ball.

On the Snohomish county health department page they say a guy in his 40s with an underlying health condition died. We also know he was the father of a kid at Mariner High School. Don’t know anything else.
