I think China found their preferred weapon of war......


All it takes in the United States is a random coming in and passing around a contagious virus. The U.S. is slow to shut down everything. Now they know. They can cause flare ups whenever they feel like it with a single person, and it will take months to get it under control if done right......

My mom's assistant was in contact with someone who tested positive. Assistant informed people but she's not getting tested. My pops tells me ahead of time and told me he's self-quarantining. Then in our text chat, he ends up telling my brother and sister. Sister starts freaking out because apparently she hugged my mom's assistant last week. Now she's texting us saying she has the chills, scratchy throat and feels a weight on her chest. My mom thinks it's all in her head but given the fact that my sister lives in NYC I think it's highly likely she has it. Now she's trying to figure out how to get tested.

My mom is pissed because she feels like my pops shouldn't have said anything until they knew for sure if her assistant had it. My pops' rational is that it was the responsible thing to let everyone know. Anyway my sister has anxiety so I called her just telling her to keep calm and that it wasn't a death sentence or anything. But I'm hoping she can at least get tested.

Any way you cut it, it looks like at least 1 million folks are going to die from this unfortunately.

Never thought I would see something so dire in my lifetime. Our lives will never be the same. This country doesn’t have the infrastructure or discipline to stall this thing out. I have a feeling this is gonna run through the whole year. Hope I’m wrong, but our trajectory is scary.

I still think meaningful projections are impossible. A week after the shutdown daily cases in Italy have stopped increasing (they have about 3,500 new cases a day for four straight days now) and daily deaths have stopped increasing (they've had 350 deaths/day for three straight days). That ain't "good", the new cases and new deaths aren't going down yet, but at least they've stopped increasing exponentially. Hopefully that's good evidence that social distancing that flatten the curve, which will substantially reduce casualties.

I still have some hope that, if the social distancing works and the coronavirus follows the "flu season" and starts dying out soon, we can keep it to around 20,000-100,000 global casualties for this season. No way to predict right now what will happen next year though.

For those who are saying, "But only 8,000 people have died!", these are the scary graphs:

When do y'all think those lines are gonna turn back?
