Good plan.

Stuff like this is EXACTLY what the Federal Government need to have in their policies and procedures in case of a pandemic so that it doesn't happen. Liz has a plan for this.

"Nine of the 141 inmates at the Morris County NJ jail have tested positive. That’s in addition to the 20 officers and other employees, about 10 percent of those working at the jail, who have tested positive since March 22."https://t.co/WSJBYCLPfA

Iowa Gov Kim Reynolds tells state "last week has been especially hard," and "this week will be equally, if not more, difficult.”

Great. Good talk.

She still won't issue a statewide stay at home order.

Trump’s claim that he imposed the first ‘China ban’

Of course:

The New York Times calculated that at least 430,000 people arrived in the United States on direct flights from China since Jan. 1, including nearly 40,000 in the two months after Trump imposed restrictions. Moreover, screening proceedings of travelers from China have been uneven and inconsistent, the Times said.

Also I could be wrong but I thought I had read that airlines began restricting travel even before Trump's supposed ban?

"It was a perfect travel ban."

Our's will continue to rise. We're only testing healthcare workers, people in the hospital and sick people at nursing homes.

And celebrities/rich people...

We announced suspending LAX PVG and LAX PEK a few days before it. I think Delta and United weren't far behind.

Lufthansa, one of Europe's biggest airline groups, is permanently reducing the size of its fleet and shuttering one of its low-cost carriers, as it warns that the aviation sector will take years to recover from the coronavirus pandemic https://t.co/W95oBmUs2S

It’s a strange dichotomy here. On one side of the airport Alaska Airlines has 10+ 737s just parked and one of the regional carriers parked all their planes, laid off all their employees and filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. On the other side, cargo jets cycle through all day and all night, unloading and loading like a normal day.

France is also having a bad go at it. Hidden in the bad numbers is the fact that 50% of their nationwide tests to date have come back positive.

In the US, it's still an astounding 20%. Italy @ 18%. Germany @ 10%.

So, say 300 million people, 20% are infected, and 2% die from the virus, you're looking at 1.2 million dead Americans.

Every press conference is a complete dumpster fire.

They did, because demand for China travel started dropping like a stone as the story leaked out, despite the CCP's best efforts to shut people up.

To be fair, positive test rate is something that is heavily influenced by Keynesian priors - it's not representative of the whole sample because there have to be indicators present that say you might have it to get tested. The percentage of Americans who have been infected is almost certainly much, much lower (and so is the true death rate, for that matter, once you include asymptomatic people and people who only had mild cases who didn't get tested), although I'm sure overrun health care systems could push it up to that number or even beyond).

Seriously, if 20% of American's already have or have had it, we're truly up a creek without a paddle, even with social distancing.

Almost 29k new cases and over 1900 dead today. Took 3 weeks to destroy the H1N1 meme...

Walz will apparently ease restrictions in Minnesota tomorrow.
