Why is the Italy rate so high? Are they doing something different that results in it spreading more easily or are they recording their stats differently?

Italy now has 197 dead and 523 recovered. Not really an encouraging ratio.

Exactly why you cant put stock in the mortality rates this early.

They are testing more often. It has to be mentioned the US is the worst country right now with how they have handled this. So much wrong happened with lack of testing. People are thinking Seattle is ground zero but many states haven't done more than 50 tests. I wouldn't be surprised if in two weeks there are 10,000 confirmed US cases. If US actually does the mass testing of individuals who show symptoms.

To hopefully make some of you feel better. 100,000+ are infected. About 3,400 has died. 55,000 have recovered from it. Apparently, the virus cannot survive in one host for too long.

Cuomo just tweeted out the new testing protocol finally this is what I had been hoping was done weeks ago. Hopefully more states do this.

just wash your hands after your workout and don't touch your face or mouth when you're there. Also working out regularly actually boosts your immune system. Gotta keep making gains bro. Can't stop for some virus

Sadly, a lot of his supporters STILL try passing this off as just a bad cold because of him.

It's from people who died from it, which isn't surprising. Because they died. But previous poster stated people who recover from can get it too, which is obviously untrue, until proven otherwise. Poster was spreading false/disingenious info.

Is not proven absolutely true yet, but people are probably going by the facts we know from SARS, because outside of the infectiveness, SARS2 is very similar.

And the theory is that SARS2 may permanently damage your lungs even if you're cured from it. It's no fact yet, but it's a serious threat to consider for the dumb people who act like SARS2 is just a worse cold or just the flu.

It's a very serious threat that must be stopped worldwide as soon as possible.

Of course. I agree. But that key word is may. I see it the same way where you may develop side effects from a medication. Some people will get it, others won't. But the main takeaway is, not everyone will get it in the end. Luck of the draw. Just like everything in life.

So 1 out of 55,000 so far. If that number skyrockets into the hundreds, and thousands, then we worry. And tbh, I don't trust them Wuhan doctors, so who knows if that patient really "fully recovered".

Fear monger. The anchor asked him about spreading fear, and making profit off the vaccine, and I noticed he artfully dodged that question.

Sounds like people are either leaving with permanent lung damage, or SARS2 stays in the body post-cure, or he immediately got re-infected with one of the many other SARS2 strains by the doctors / outside the hospital.

Yeah, this really sounds bad.

Is anyone up to speed on how many different testing kits are being used? From what I understand there is the one put out by the CDC, and the one being distributed by the WHO. I believe these are different tests. Also I heard that some university developed one and is rolling it out with a vengeance, and maybe another one that was just developed out of Hong Kong. Can anyone clarify this?

True.

I heard WA state will waive any expenses to those afflicted by this virus, so some potentially good news in that a state is going to have basic goddamn decency during this outbreak.
