Exactly. I posted the following graph several days ago that shows this very point.

Has the Coronavirus already come and gone for most of the US? Adam Houseley, formerly of FoxNews, says that MAY be the case...
If the number of cases was static, the curve will be an expoential ramp up just from expoential ramp up of testing.
Here in Washington state we lost six on Friday but only three today, Saturday.
We have been flat at 100 diagnosed positive in the last week.
There have been very few deaths which are not those already in nursing care, older, with pre-existing conditions.
It is a needle in a haystack here to find any that are not with very compromised immune systems.
What about the homeless population? Is it gone this time of year due to cold?
Probably so.
Which state are you in?
I’m in Pacific NW and got awful bronchitis in early December - don’t think I ever had that before. The first day I couldn’t move and 2nd day I managed to get to the Dr. When I thought it was gone it came back but weaker. By Christmas I was ok. BUT, no fever and they said my lungs were clear. I know someone else who had the same thing.
Probably just a coincidence but it was weird.
There was a massive homeless encampment in Oakland, CA at Broadway and MacArthur (Mosswood Park), all cleared out now.
Interesting, and a smart move.
Is like Gorky said in Lower Depths, quote, Miserable being must find other miserable being, then is happy, unquote.
I have not heard any reports of coronavirus among Seattle’s vast homeless population. Our Washington state statistics totally skew any kind of curve are because one nursing home Life Care and apparently a couple others, got infected.
The homeless, although there has been little sunshine there, at least get more natural vitamin D than do the indoor, in air-condition workers.
We actually are not having deaths in Seattle per se. The major deaths have been east of Seattle in Bellevue and Kirkland where there are massive Asian populations who would have been more likely to travel to Chinese New Year. Not the nursing home folks who passed but mayhap staff workers or visitors who traveled to mainland China.
The east side of Lake Washington, east of Seattle, has areas pretty much owned by wealthy Chinese who can well afford to travel. It is kind of like Vancouver, BC, in that regard.
Exactly. I posted the following graph several days ago that shows this very point.
Same thing for me Feb, Mar and Apr 2019 - 12 dreadful weeks. 3 different rounds of antibiotics, 3 different rounds of steroids, 2 inhalers. Started as bronchitis and got really scary at the end with some real difficulty breathing. At the beginning, doc said takes 12 weeks on average to be rid of bronchitis — at the end of the 12th week, BINGO - I suddenly was all better.
The mysterious thing about illnesses is you’ll never know.
Unless maybe somewhere down the road they test you for antibodies when a new illness strikes.
The Seattle Panic has moved to Spokane where the Spokanonians (Spokaners? Spokanites?) have now moved over the state line to clean out the Costco in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. The locust plague moves eastward.
That said, I wonder what that "3%" curve looks like. Has it ALWAYS been 3% of sympotmatic are due to COVID-19? Doubtful! In fact, impossible. At some point the COVID-19 value had to be zero or close to it.
Spokane used to be a conservative area of Washington state, but the libtards have started to overrun it.
It is not surprising they would have a TP stampede. In the past, Spokane had a lot of farmers, but then hippy farmers moved in who really don’t know how to look after themselves.
I believe that this is definitely a possibility. My wife who is a retired nurse with decades of clinical experience wondered the same thing just a couple of days ago. The hysteria surrounding this has largely been driven by the media and politics.
The virus had a severe outbreak in a very densely populated and vulnerable area where 52% of the male population are smokers and the females are cohabitating in small spaces breathing in all that second hand smoke. This is not to mention the pollution typical in the place. This caught the world's attention.
If it had started in a normal American community where 6 people typically are not living in a 400 sq. ft. apartments sharing bathrooms and kitchens with their neighbors it wouldn't have spread around so efficiently. No one would have even suspected that it might be something other than the flu. The symptoms are very similar for most people. And people here are not getting the mega-dose of virus that people living in such close quarters are getting.
So I want to know who is going to have egg on their face for trashing the economy and terrorizing the public when this thing completely fizzles out in a couple of months?
I think I had it in December to be honest. Rapid onset of fever and wicked chest pain. Followed by a roller coaster of fatigue for probably two and a half weeks. I’ve never had chest pain like that. Fortunately it was gone in about eight hours but was very uncomfortable. It occurred to me last week that perhaps I had it though it didn’t seem possible with the timeline. Now I’m not so sure.
You probably should get a CT or x-rays.. This stuff supposedly scars your lungs..
My wife and I have been frequent visitors at the Life Care Center in Kirkland for many years. They have so many Asian nurses aides, that sometimes there have been problems trying to understand what was being said.
