Sad when you’re beaten by a turtle...

Down at the bottom on WorldOMeters today were some interesting- and scary trends.

Pakistan suffered a 33% case load increase in 24 hours.

India had 25 cases in the same time.

If those two start a rapid rise, things could be dangerous.

Mitch was first to wear TP earrings??

[mrsmith]

Abbott could have done less sooner.
IDK, seems to me he hasn’t done well with the virus.

All courts in Pennsylvania to close for at least two weeks (3/18/20)

Actually people not staying home, sick and otherwise, are creating issues in states. Plus you have people leaving the epi-center states to go to friends or family to stay. Thus spreading it along the way.

Of the few people I saw on the street here today and near a corner grocery store.....none wore masks or gloves.

Just imagine how many have escaped NYC. 😱

Iowa universities cancel spring commencement, move courses online for semester, due to coronavirus (3/19/20)

[Cronos]

In my opinion the worldwide crisis will go on until June and hot weather (thank you global warming :))

Seriously - early June this will peter out.

To get it over with earlier you need to put in draconian methods.

if the warlike efforts to stop the spread of the virus fail ..."

The numbers cannot possibly change for the better in the next few weeks. Testing is still in the infancy stage in most states, there are thousands and thousands of unknown positives, doubling every three days or so. The latency period can be up to three and even four weeks in some cases...

[cgbg]

This has not “petered out” anywhere in the world.

There is _no_ evidence it will “peter out” in June.

None.

Ponca Tribe declares state of emergency amid COVID-19 pandemic (3/18/20)

[mrsmith]

OK.
But it didn’t have to get to the point that state action wouldn’t be sufficient.
