To clarify - the George Washington University is in Washington D.C.
The University of Washington Medical center is in Seattle.
Some odd history. The state people were going to call Washington state Columbia instead. But the federal folks said “No - that will be too confusing with the District of Columbia”. So they changed it to Washington!
ITALY
36 doctors died
The list of doctors who did not make it due to the Covid-19 epidemic is getting longer: the dead were 33 but yesterday late in the evening, we learn from the National Federation of Medical Orders (Fnomceo), the news has arrived the disappearance of three other white coats, all from Bergamo. The number of infected health workers also increases: according to the latest data from the Istituto Superiore di Sanità, they have risen to 6205, or more than 9% of the total cases.

FRANCE
France like other nations has already imposed a nationwide ban on non-essential movement and closed schools and restaurants in a bid to stop the spread of the pandemic.
The military operation, named “Resilience”, will focus on “aiding and supporting the population, as well as helping public services face the epidemic in mainland France and overseas”, Macron said on Wednesday.
“Unity and courage will allow us to overcome this, we are only at the beginning, but we will hold out,” Macron added, declaring that France was “at war”.
The comments came after the president visited a military field hospital set up by the army in the eastern Mulhouse region which has been badly hit by the coronavirus.

It is amazing—all these states and localities are adding hospital beds and tents because they are totally insane.
Same thing for Italy and Spain and England—more crazy people!
The world is nuts!
(One out of a million chance, of course, but maybe you are the one who is nuts?)
You first.
When lying sleepless, just remember all the people you are not with and are grateful not to be with. That’s what I do.
“12 Experts Questioning the Coronavirus Panic”
- see https://off-guardian.org/2020/03/24/12-experts-questioning-the-coronavirus-panic/
Of course, whenever I see the word “experts”, I’m thinking “trust but verify”.
Parts of Staten Island are actually rural, with chickens walking around and stuff.
I have read their arguments, hoping against hope that they had a valid point that we have overlooked.
Dry hole, unfortunately... :-(
Even if a restaurant worker coughs or sneezes directly in your food, you won’t catch coronavirus from eating the meal
https://www.businessinsider.com/worker-coughs-sneezes-in-food-you-wont-get-coronavirus-2020-3
I think their points will be re-evaluated when the main brunt of COVID-19 is past.
Any that point, a lot of expert’s comments will be evaluated and “winners” and “losers” decided.
I disagree, but I'm open to consider your reasons for thinking it's too early to use these numbers for anywhere but China.
“Even if a restaurant worker coughs or sneezes directly in your food, you wont catch coronavirus from eating the meal”
If this true why do grocery stores and other places disinfect everything. Not sure if I believe this article.
Is this article to convince people it is safe to eat from to go businesses? Maybe to save restaurants.
“do-not-resuscitate orders for coronavirus patients”
The consequences of our delayed action.
Americans left to suffocate on their own phlegm.
