People have been questioning the "low numbers" in China/Asia and the rest of the world, there may be a simple explanation for this: Unfortunately, you likely aren't going to get told to wear a face mask, because of the acute shortages...we don't even have enough right now for our medical staff...

More great news today...and I haven't even had my first cup of coffee yet! https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/02/politics/trump-ventilators-stockpile-coronavirus/index.html

Are you his mom?

I think the difference is that these are *excess* deaths on top of who would have died on any given day. Don't forget a certain percentage of those dying are healthcare workers putting their lives on the line ... I just read this surgeon's obit, yeah "he was old" but he still was seeing patients...

Oh no! https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/3/thread/new-technical-revisions-for-star-citizen/199155

Wow, 800 deaths on Tuesday (yesterday)! For comparison, that is like crashing 2 or 3 airliners in day! Imagine how differently we would all be reacting to that...and how upset people would be if a large number of firefighters, paramedics (and nurses and doctors) died responding to the crashes...

I think some government officials #1 priority is not the safety of their people, but their re-election chances and/or interests of their top donors... I think some are doing some political calculations along the lines of, "The dead aren't going to vote against me*, and the people who live...

Great information in this video...it is from March 23rd, so some numbers are a bit smaller: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J0d59dd-qM

Cool, now we have a great experiment...we can compare the outcomes of states that instituted preventive measures vs. those who didn't, on a large scale: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article241433806.html

Do I get 2 if I subscribe at the Imperator level? Maybe they'll have a yellow one?

Great, now I'll have to go to CitCon in a full-body condom...

I think nobody has a monopoly on "stupid" right now. And technically, these are errors of cognitive decision-making that we all fall for, i.e., "I feel fine, my friends look fine, I'm sure they wouldn't give me the disease," when in fact, COVID-19 spreads like a motherfucker even when...

Another great website, they are specifically looking at forecasting hospital demand for beds, ICU beds, and ventilators: http://www.healthdata.org/covid/updates Currently they are forecasting that demand will peak on April 15...see charts below:

I shoud have been more precise in my earlier post (I made it right before I went to bed). When I said "leveling off" in reference to the graph on the log scale, what this actually means is that the rate of new cases has stopped accelerating... I'll attach the linear graph below, as you can see...

lol, remind me of yet another thing I always wanted to do, but never could!

So the latest graph looks like it has some good news: as you would expect about 2 weeks into the "social distancing," the positive impact is starting to be seen in that US cases seem to be leveling off... Now the bad news...since not every location in the US has been stringent about social...

Pics or it didn't really happen!

Jumping is too much work...almost like exercise!

Hey, I'm not an artist...but I can draw conclusions!
