“They will feel cheated and bitter. This will never end for many of them.”

My givvashitometer remains pegged at zero for their feelings.

They were harmed by elected politicians, many of whom they voted for.

Not anyone on this site.

The problem is the general dearth of PPE relative to demand, not frugal budgets. Clueless hospital administrators playing control freak games are just making things worse. They can’t make anything better.

All port calls an liberty needs to be suspended until there’s a handle on it.

Recall ALL crews to the ship and start testing.

I use the data from www.worldometers.info who seem to be the source for a large majority of news sources and etc. I wait until they post and move the data to yesterday's data before downloading. But yes, I agree, accurate data is critical. It's why I only use number of deaths and one of the more favored sources. Second most accurate, imo, is recovered. Least accurate is number of cases, as testing varies greatly from location to locations, when testing is done, and so forth.

White House expected to recommend Americans wear cloth masks to prevent coronavirus spread

https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/02/coronavirus-cloth-masks-recommendation/

About a month late, but better than NEXT month.

Port calls should have been halted once the data on the Diamond Princess became public knowledge.

That one move probably would have prevented the problem.

Good idea.

Apparently, he e-mailed the letter to over 20 other people. That’s close enough to leaking it. Very poor judgement. Since the actions he was requesting involved significant impact to the combat readiness of the ship, he would have been wise to classify the letter Confidential, and keep it off of the unclass network. I suspect they will track down the actual leaker.

I am keeping my tag line until I hear the words at a WH press briefing. :-)

We are _almost_ there...

From your chart of the world new deaths daily and Sweden.
You have world total number of deaths as of tomorrow at 8,884. The official number today (one day before your estimate) 52,855

I would suggest you slightly under estimated the incubation time maybe? If the world health leaders are say the peak is around April 15 you're graph should be pulled back a little and I do NOT expect death rates to go that high. Not with the death rates today.

I would also like to know why Washington DC has a recovery rate to death ratio of 14:1 while the rest of America is running 2:1 - 3:1

DC gets tested early (some animals are more equal than others), so there are more mild cases. Also, as much as they pretend President Trump is wrong on everything, including quinine, the elitist insiders get quinine immediately. They know he is right. They just lie a lot.

Steve:

You do understand that you are comparing apples (seasonal flu with no shutdown of economy) with oranges (CV with virtual shutdown of economy).

Tracking death rates while in the midst of an economic shutdown and many more open cases than resolved ones just does not make a whole lot of sense to me.

In addition, some parts of the US are in a virtual exponential growth rate while other parts (WA state, for example) have shown success with mitigation.

Sometimes numbers just don’t tell you much....

California:
Female: 3,753 cases
Male: 4,267 cases
Unknown: 135 cases

In the real world, “unknown” would just mean that the information was not reported. In California, it probably really means the patient cannot figure it out.

The Riverside Co. CA cop, father of 4 kids, was not a faked story. He died yesterday after a brave fight. Joining over a thousand around the world killed by this virus.

I'm very sorry to hear of the officers death from SARS-CoV-2.
I believe you. I'm not saying this thing is a Hoax. I'm saying this is over blown.


I wish there wasn't fake stories of people working to help others. But there are.

Steve:

We are constantly hearing “this source is run by China” and “this source is run by Russia”.

If you have better sources of data, provide them.

But remember, if you don’t deeply understand the data, it is totally meaningless.

It’s painful to hear Trump refer to “COVID-19”.
