Post good news here. Are we making progress against the spread of COVID-19?
Is that the same as the Wuhan flu? Asking for a friend.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE & AZITHROMYCIN, taken together, have a real chance to be one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine. The FDA has moved mountains - Thank You! Hopefully they will BOTH (H works better with A, International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents).....
....be put in use IMMEDIATELY. PEOPLE ARE DYING, MOVE FAST, and GOD BLESS EVERYONE! @US_FDA @SteveFDA @CDCgov @DHSgov

This crisis is reminding everyone what absolute scum the American media is.
China relaxing some controls in areas that weren’t hard hit.

Not much, but encouraging.
I always knew the American media were filled with scum buckets..their rooting for DEATH over a CURE just proves what scum we are dealing with. For 3 1/2 years all we heard is that Trump is a Russian puppet..yet here is the American media, being a puppet for Communist CHINA spewing their propaganda daily without hesitation.
I prepped up very early on, not only for me but also for my family who thought it was “the flu.” It wasn’t their fault as most people have been conditioned by the media to ignore threats. At any rate, unless the Chinese virus can penetrate walls, my wife and I will be fine for months and months. Good luck to all, and may we all keep our health.
It’s still a very small disease in terms of numbers.
It’s hard to know yet.
New York had less deaths yesterday, 12, than the day before,14, which is good but too early to know if it is a trend.
12 and 14 deaths are very few.
California deaths are few and not increasing greatly. Washington had more yesterday but that situation seems very localized and related to the mass infection with virus from China to the elderly care complex.
I found a good sale on stocks.
Recent report 20,000 infected, around 300 passed mostly elderly, That’s a long way to go before we get to the swine flu #’s of 2009-2010, 60 million infected, 330,000 hospitalized and 14,000 dead.These are USA numbers not worldwide. ...and you know who was President during swine flu, so the press never talks about it.
“I found a good sale on stocks.”
Not for nothing, it looks as if the bottom could be around 15k.
Seems like an overreaction to me. The virus will eventually burn itself out. I think it’s already happening at this point with social distancing rules and summer is approaching quickly so it would be harder for the virus to survive in warm and humid weather.
That’s exactly right. The MSM and Deep State is milking this for all it’s worth. Anything to take out Trump. Anything.
Of those cases 8 have died (1.1% up 1 from yesterday's numbers) 551 have recovered (77.4% up 24 since yesterday's count), and still infected 153 (22.5% down 25 cases (1 death & 24 recoveries)).
So by a factor of 24 to 1 (24 recoveries vs 1 death) of resolved cases, recovered is winning the day, which is a good sign.
Why the Diamond Princess is the perfect petri dish to examine, is 4 fold, a large number of people, 4000+, consisting of crew and passengers. The passengers ate together in dining halls, they were limited in space aboard the ship, there was lots of social interaction, and a large number of older people.
While 17% became infected, 83% did not become infected. First good sign. So far the recovered rate stands at 77.4%, and that percentage can only increase, not decrease. In fact that is true for both deceased, as well as, recovered percentages. The only percentage that can decrease is the still infected percentage. The maximum death rate at this point can be as high as 23.6%. That is highly unlikely given that the recovered numbers vs death numbers out performed by a 24 to 1 factor just since yesterday.
So at this point it looks very promising.
Deaths in the US went down to 32 yesterday from 49 the day before.
32 and 49 deaths are a small percentage of the approximately 6000 deaths there are in a day.
If the death numbers keep going down it is a good thing. It’s too early to tell and local trends probably mean more, especially given the highly localized nature of the outbreaks.
Yes.
It’s psychological warfare now.
I’ll add to that, watch Washington. It was the first to get a burst of cases.
Daily new case reporting can be confusing but new cases in Washington went down yesterday. Could just be noise but worth watching, Washington should be the first to start improving.
The end of each reporting day is 8PM Eastern Time.
Az about 60 cases, a dozen recovered, 1 death
You make great points.
We are in a propaganda psych war.
People are happy to cooperate now but are and will be tired of being cooped up. With time rational analyses and argument will be heard because of this and the understanding that this is a serious epidemic yet we can go about our daily lives using certain precautions with only slightly more danger than we normally face from infection will allow this current darkness to pass.
Let’s talk more about Washington State. They were hit hard by early February. So why aren’t we seeing more cases up there now? With 100,000 cases with at least 1,000 dead?
