Continuation of the thread.
Please use this thread to consolidate the discussion and stories.
Trying to fake it till they make it...
Won’t work _this_ time.
Expired test samples. CDC doing it’s best to keep those number down.
That’s Kudlow.
He looks like he’s having a lot of tics.
Kudlow looks bored and clueless.
“Buy the dip?”
No, bye dip-$!#@
“I’m just completely perplexed by our nation’s response.”
And the thing is, they WILL come around. They will have to come around, as the horror stories pile up. And then the drastic measures - measures that will make Wuhan look like a walk in the park. And then they’ll have to explain why they ignored the rest of the world...and good luck with that.
“ Hoping they know more and better than we do, but hard to do.”
Pretty hard. It could be that they know it’s going to become endemic like the flu and they think this is the best solution for fortifying a nation against the future threats.
Whatever they know that we don’t, they will need to start telling us at some point.
The numbers I provide are confirmed cases only.
They are proven because a test proved the person is indeed infected.
For my own curiosity I wanted to know doubling rate of known cases. This started my tracking of the data and even looking ahead.
.
This doubling rate is admittedly, not great news.
However, it is a reasonable indicator to what is in the near future. The rate may, and probably will change or fluctuate and as it does I willl post the real data.
Thanks for posting!
“ as the horror stories pile up”
Yes, there will be horror stories, like the 25 year old non smoking, non drinking healthy Brit in Wuhan who described his ordeal and thought he was going to die. These stories are about to be all over social media. That’s when the flu bro boys will freak out.
Unless these stories are scrubbed. It wouldn’t really be that hard to do. If you had Facebook, Twitter, Google and the big company MSM with you, you could conceal it. The remaining chatter would just sound like tin foil hat bs.
The mathematical issue with your numbers is that until testing is consistently performed, that is the limiting factor. That was the case early in China.
Honestly, what you are measuring is the same as extrapolating the weight of a newborn baby.
I would be careful putting too much faith in growth rates until the testing is widespread.
"Cponfirmed" LOL! Bet they're overrun with the beastie.
It’s the problem sink. Two plumbers want to drill through the foundation. I’m not buying that. They refuse to look where I tell them. There’s a T instead of a Y.
But, but, but—he had brown eyes. If you don’t have brown eyes you will be safe! ;-)
Coronavirus cases jump to 92 in Massachusetts, Charlie Baker declares state of emergency - https://www.bostonherald.com/2020/03/10/coronavirus-cases-jump-in-massachusetts-charlie-baker-declares-state-of-emergency/
Your numbers have value.
Just don’t conflate their rate of growth with the rate of growth of the virus.
They will never take the measures taken in Wuhan in this country. The cities will burn to the grounds.
Ask yourself...are you going to going into the Bronx, South Philly, South Central LA....and try to “lock” people into their apartment buildings?
Good luck with that.

Thanks BIOGen.
a few people today who think this thing is all overblown**
my BIL thought that way - until it came to Seattle and he couldn’t find toilet paper, and the delivery drivers started acting stand-offish. His business is on 1st St. He knows of people who are sick. And he’s a believer now!
