GG Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 13 minutes ago, TPS said: What data are you looking at to conclude this? According to the Worldometer site, it’s accelerating in the US. You must be using a different definition of accelerating, because the increase in US daily cases has declined from the 40% range to under 20%. That's the number that the "experts" focused on when they were screaming about the pandemic spread and throwing out doomsday scenarios. There may be a slight uptick in US growth due to spikes In LA, and MA, but that also means that NY growth is slowing big time. In any event focusing on cases misses the bigger picture of the severity of the infections, which is far more important, and is also getting better in NY. But fear mongering works far better, doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Here's an interesting article from today's WSJ. Some very big and well known employers operate with relatively little cash (and way too much debt) to sustain operations in a period of significant revenue loss. https://www.wsj.com/articles/coronavirus-puts-a-premium-on-cash-even-for-biggest-u-s-companies-11585153040?mod=itp_wsj&mod=&mod=djemITP_h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll rerun that stupid scrolling video of individual cases by country, where you ultimately see the US jump up to #2 or #3, and the usual leftist nutsuckers will start using even more exclamation points and emojis on social media platforms to show how horrifying it is that a country with 300M surpassed a country with 60M. 3 minutes ago, GG said: Again, Italy appears to be a huge outlier relative to everywhere else, and really shouldn't be used as the sample.

meazza Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Right now I’m under the impression that Italy isn’t testing anyone that isn’t showing severe symptoms. That being said, though this virus is not as deadly as in Italy, it seems to highly contagious which is scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teva, a pharmaceutical giant in Israel, has announced it will begin donating millions of hydroxychloroquine sulfate tablets to hospitals across the US starting March 31. </snip> Media: “Trump to tell Israel company to stop the shipment of hydroxychloroquine sulfate.

Would like to see the death rate get below 1% or at worst, stay below 1.5% It will likely go higher as NYC hospitals become overwhelmed. I heard Cuomo say that on average patients spend 5 to 11 days hooked up to a ventilator. The major concern is that when hospitals run out of ventilators (as they did in Italy), new patients who turn critical will be left to die because the only way to survive at that point is to be hooked up to one. This is the whole reason people have been asked to socially distance themselves so that everyone doesn't get sick at the same time and completely incapacitate the healthcare system. 1 hour ago, meazza said: Right now I’m under the impression that Italy isn’t testing anyone that isn’t showing severe symptoms. That being said, though this virus is not as deadly as in Italy, it seems to highly contagious which is scary. Italy's hospitals got over run. So far that hasn't happened in the US, but it likely will in certain spots within the next week or so. The number of infected people is still doubling about every 3 days. A few days ago I said there'd be 16,000 cases today simply based off the math (up from 8,000). As things stand that looks pretty likely given the stats out so far today. The main question is in 3 days will there be 32,000 new cases? If so there's absolutely no chance Trump can try to reopen the country at Easter.
