On January 21, 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Washington State Department of Health announced the first case of 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the United States in Washington State.
Learn more about the coronavirus from Washington State’s official COVID-19 website. Maintained by the state Joint Information Center.

My assumption is that the logarithmic curve you looked at for State of WA data and feel we have reached an inflection point is for “positive cases?”
Is that correct?
“The day the Life Care Center of Kirkland, Wash., went into scrub-down mode, it threw a Mardi Gras party. The coronavirus took hold and never let go. (Updates previous language that misstated the day of the party.).....”
I would wager that attorneys are going to be litigating that nursing home company for decades.

Post 73 has a link to a twitter thread that shows Washington State data compared to New York, Wuhan, Italian Cities, etc.
Washington state is fairly “flat” and deaths are doubling every 5 days or so.
New York is doubling every 2 days.
Different strain? Cultures? Management? Population density?
Each one of those could be a factor IMO.
however, conveniently, the dept of health doesn't had up to date numbers because of a "technical" issue....
we've had a very low death rate here anyway...
we can't even go fishing....
now there is local talk of having grocery stores restrict the number of shoppers at one time....
glad there was a taller older guy shopping near me today who could reach the half and half....
however deep in the article it talks about how they really aren't sure, and also that the Wash. State DOH has technical issues and there has been no new data for a couple of days....
lying, fabricating media....
