I can only see Virginia and the cases outside metro areas are very small in number. We have 2 cases in the surrounding 5 counties, both of them returning college students from Spring Break.
The nurses at Kirkland In WA talked about red eyes as a symptom. It was described as patients had red “eye-shadow” and it was one of the first signs they’d caught the virus.
What she actually said is “Government is ineffective, redundant and useless.”
Here’s the GA map, the little dark county at the bottom is Dougherty. They have more deaths than The county where Atlanta is!
Anyway, it is important to note that their epidemic started late Feb, as I said earlier, they had no testing so it really got out of hand.
Hopefully it will go better for rural counties now there is somewhat better testing available.

The tests conducted is 22,394. the 13814 only reflects private labs.
Roughly, 32,000 have been hospitalized for this over 3 months.
That's 32,000 nationwide above and beyond normal.
How the hell are they running out of PPE?
How is manufacturing not keeping up with demand?
Sounds like a good variety you have going! Remember don’t kill those dandelions, kudzu or wild violet - they are all edible!
kudzu?
I think (someone correct me) but the reason is we are having to move most our manufacturing from China to here. And I don’t think that was even done in earnest until early March, when TPTB realized that they needed to step it up here.
Kemp isn’t an idiot. I suspect it’s an inadvertent statement.
Still waiting to hear what this shelter in place restriction will be.
SARS-COV was never very wide spread in the population and was contained before it became an epidemic. I doubt it mutated, as coronaviruses are pretty stable. The 4 corona viruses that cause common cold sysmptoms, (HCoV)-NL63, -OC43, -229E, and -HKU1 are all very much the same as the ones that infected people 30 years ago. MERS is still the same Camel virus that just happens to infect humans too. No one knows exactly where SARS1 came from, but it is almost certainly an animal virus like MERS, and just exists in some animal that people have little interaction with. SARS-COV2 is too widespread to put back in the bottle, and being a coronavirus, might not mutate enough to make a difference for a very long time.
Yes, the young leaves are edible! I have tried it, it’s tough, cook it like spinach. The south will never starve lol...
...
Raw roots (per 100 g edible portion) contain 113 calories, 68.6 percent moisture, 2.1 g protein, 0.1 g fat, 27.8 total carbohydrate, 0.7 g fiber, 1.4 g ash, 15 mg Ca, 18 mg P, and 0.6 mg Fe. Starch of roots contains (per 100 g) 340 calories, 16.5 percent moisture, 0.2 g protein, 0.1 g fat, 83.1 g total carbohydrate, 0.1 g ash, 35 mg Ca, 18 mg P, 2.0 mg Fe, and 2 mg, Na. Cooked leaves contain (per 100 g) 36 calories, 89.0 percent moisture, 0.4 g protein, 0.1 g fat, 9.7 g total carbohydrate. 7.7 g fiber, 0.8 fat, 34 mg Ca, 20 mg P, 4.9 mg Fe, 0.03 mg thiamin, 0.91 mg riboflavin, 0.8 mg niacin. Feeding trials on goats indicated that kudzu hay (protein, 10.3; total dig. nutrients, 28.7; and starch equivalent, 16.1 kg 100 kg) compared well with cowpea bay, berseem hay and wheat bran in digestible protein value, but was inferior to legume hays in starch equivalent.
Kudzu is primarily, grown for pasture, hay, and silage. It is palatable to all types of livestock. Kudzu is nearly equal to alfalfa in nutritive value. Leaves, shoots and roots are eaten by some humans. Useful fiber is obtained from stems, and starch is obtained from the tuberous root (roots up to 35 kg each). In China and Japan Ko-fen flour, made from the roots, is used in soups. Said to be cultivated for its tuber in the uplands of New Guinea and New Caledonia. Used for erosion control and soil improvement on banks, slopes and gullies where a permanent planting is desired. It is used as shade, planted around buildings.

” How the hell are they running out of PPE? How is manufacturing not keeping up with demand?”
It is, but China is keeping it from us and using it themselves and sending it to countries for political payoffs.
I am interested in the Singapore clusters. The report you linked to says: “The eight imported cases[2] had travel history to Europe, North America, ASEAN and other parts of Asia.”
One of these cases has to have been a missionary from Singapore that came to my city in Feb or early Mar to speak at churches. I know of 2 small churches he did speak at. I don’t know where else he travelled to. He’s what they call a ‘super-spreader’. He didn’t have any symptoms until he went back to Singapore. However, with 48 hours, several members of the churches he visited ended up with symptoms including the couple who hosted him. 2 or 3 ended up in ICU. One is still on a ventilator. I think the missionary is alive but could be hospitalized. I think the ones who came down sick just shook hands with him. It’s a sad story.
I WAS JUST thinking of that movie!!! That’s what this feels like
You forgot to tell what that is measuring. Beer consumption?
“Kemp isn’t an idiot.”
Maybe not. I’m not familiar with him.
But he’s doing a good job of pretending to be one. Did he stay at the Holiday Inn last night?
