LT is out today.
Yesterday's thread is here:

“The country that has done the most testing that can be relied upon is S Korea , they have tested well over 250,000 and have 7,869 cases and 66 deaths for a fatality rate of .008 or less than 1%. That is more than the flu but nothing like what some are reporting here and in the news.”
Korea is the best case of handling this, so far. Someone the other day claimed that they were holding it to a 0.7% deaths to cases ratio. I pointed out that they had identified the vast majority of cases (maybe) but that most were still unresolved, and their 0.7 number was only going to get higher. They said that the rest, 99% of them, were mild. That was when their death toll was 50. Three days ago.
Our healthcare system can barely handle the flu some years.
This thing kills 8 times as many and has a higher rate of hospitalizations and ICU needs. We have to fight it every inch so we don’t go all Italy with this.
Containment is key. Butflubros are spreaders. Get out of the way and stop panicking about our efforts to stop this.
Hey worrier... (J/K!)
Know of a site that does daily numbers and keeps them up?
I want daily deaths particularly. (As I’ve explained daily cases or their growth aren’t useful to me.)
A historical daily death change would be very useful to me and I don’t remember seeing one.
I don’t know of any site that shows the historical stuff one day at a time—perhaps someone else can help?
Appreciate the reply.
IOW, there’s really no quarantine in NY.
“Imagine how many babies and Americans in sanctuary cities will die if Trump loses in November due to being undermined by this fake news panic attack. Do you even care? Obviously not.”
It’s not fake news. Even if you for some reason don’t believe in the virus or its dangers, the rest of it is real.
And, again, it’s you butflubros that are panicking. Meta Concern Trolls concerned that the rest of us are concerned. You are making the real problem worse. The sensible people have already done most or all of their prepping for this and are just trying to help our fellow FReepers - even the stupid ones. So get out of the way or help.

Why Have So Few Americans Been Tested for Coronavirus?
After problems arose with the C.D.C.’s test, officials could have switched to using successful tests that other countries were already using. But the officials refused to do so, essentially because it would have required changing bureaucratic procedures.
The federal government could also have eased regulations on American hospitals and laboratories, to allow them to create and manufacture their own tests, as Melissa Miller of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine told The Washington Post. But federal officials did not do so for weeks.
On Facebook, Virginia Postrel observes, “The people who screwed this up weren’t Trumpites. They were the pros.”
Waiving one of the best centers in the league? There must have been some really objectionable behavior.

he has come out and apologized
50 of those fellow firefighters are in self quarantine.
Hate to hear that. When the customers and fans stop patronizing any given public offering, then many people are hurt and we won't know who many of them are. Maybe this will be short lived and things back to normal in a month or so.

Purpose of quarantine is to slow the spread so medical establishment can keep up with the avalanche of care that WILL BE needed
