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%.

Our's will continue to rise. We're only testing healthcare workers, people in the hospital and sick people at nursing homes.
 
Re: Covfefe-19 part 6: Waiting For Advice from Kid Rock and Tiger Woods now.

The Fire District I used to work for here near New Haven, CT has 1/3rd of the workforce in quarantine as of yesterday. As this situation continues to ramp up, I fear that essential front line services are going to be severely diminished by infections within the personnel ranks. I know at FDNY they have allowed the exposed members to continue to work to keep the manpower numbers up.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
 
Re: Covfefe-19 part 6: Waiting For Advice from Kid Rock and Tiger Woods now.

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.
