A place to consolidate CoronaVirus Stories
Same here!
Little early to be sure is the point. I think.
I think they are trying to look like they are doing something—to keep everybody calm.
With an exponential virus a 50% slowdown buys you just one day!
I disagree. China’s influence will be greater after this outbreak. They will have extinguished the virus relative quickly by locking their citizens inside their homes and letting them die.
We will be still chasing our tails, probably infecting our military in an effort to contain every outbreak here and rescue every citizen possible.
“friend in Sacto who was told today she can’t visit her grandfather because of the order.”
That would have been a problem for my mother and I; she lived in a similar independent living apartment and I visited daily, sometimes twice, to administer her medication .
Some obscure regulations written in 1938 **
ain’t that the truth!!
You are much more charitable toward the CDC motives than I am.
You can get sepsis from any infection. It usually happens close to the lungs. But it can happen with any infection.
I _really_ want to disagree with your post, but you probably are right.
We have had some “inside info” on these posts supporting the “better mousetrap” explanation, but those could have been talking points for the CDC rank and file rather than the true motivation.
Gosh, not picking on you. You’re very good.
But I don’t think the virus spreads exponentially.
It naturally would, but there are inherent barriers that prevent it, natural ones.
And, if you take the 6 day doubling of cases (which is what I’ve seen somewhere) and round it off to a week then that is not a fast growth.
I think it’s too late to contain the disease and we’ll have to concentrate on mitigation (which is too bad) but will go very well.
It’s IMO obvious baloney.
Sorry, I was past defending the CDC two weeks ago.
They are either incompetent or involved in a mass conspiracy to kill Americans.
Good topic.
What muddies the waters is the rate of testing.
But, if you look at that Italy graph (posted a while back here and at zero hedge) they went from one verified case on 2/23 to 3,100+ verified cases today.
I am too rusty on math to figure out what “rate” that is....but it seems to double every day, something like that.
New York City is fast becoming Wuhan, USA.
this board tells a story that kind of matches the first comment at your twitter link

I should add—I consider the Italy data to be the most reliable with large enough numbers to mean something.
The China and Iran numbers are total garbage.
Yes, my Mom has one now (UTI) and I just read the Mayo Clinic webpage on UTI’s, where they mention Sepsis as a potential complication.

(A little OT, I guess.)
NYC is like watching a train wreck.
Cuomo knows it—you can see it in his body language.
DiBlasio is still in denial.
“Double every day”...
But that’s the rate of discovery, not the spread.
Don’t know where I got that ‘double every 6 days’ number.
And my math’s fuzzy these days too.
And China knew all along that this would happen here.
Gee, do you think they will have a bit of advantage after they extinguish the virus in their country by locking up their citizens and letting them die, while we send ambulances to every case?
