Remember folks, all other diseases are on vacation until further notice. You can and will only contract the Coronavirus (according to some ).

I think its getting ready to spread across the US quickly. Spring break is happening all over the country over the next couple of weeks. All that traveling going on, its inevitable. Just think of all the people that have it but don't have any symptoms yet. **** is about to hit the fan in the US.

A Seattle lab uncovered Washington's coronavirus outbreak only after defying federal regulators

https://theweek.com/speedreads/901405/seattle-lab-uncovered-washingtons-coronavirus-outbreak-only-after-defying-federal-regulators

A lack of test kits for the new COVID-19 coronavirus is still obscuring the extent of the outbreak in the U.S., but for a critical period in February, there were no functional federal tests and "local officials across the country were left to work blindly as the crisis grew undetected and exponentially," The New York Times reports. The coronavirus has now infected more than 1,000 people in 36 states and Washington, D.C., according to Johns Hopkins University's count.

The first U.S. outbreak was in Washington state, where authorities confirmed the first patient suffering from respiratory problems after visiting Wuhan, China only after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention made an exception to strict testing criteria. In Seattle, Dr. Helen Chu, an infectious disease expert who was part of an ongoing flu-monitoring effort, the Seattle Flu Study, asked permission to test their trove of collected flu swabs for coronavirus.

State health officials joined Chu in asking the CDC and Food and Drug Administration to waive privacy rules and allow clinical tests in a research lab, citing the threat of significant loss of life. The CDC and FDA said no. "We felt like we were sitting, waiting for the pandemic to emerge," Chu told the Times. "We could help. We couldn't do anything."

They held off for a couple of weeks, but on Feb. 25, Chu and her colleagues "began performing coronavirus tests, without government approval," the Times reports. They found a positive case pretty quickly, and after discussing the ethics, they told state health officials, who confirmed the next day that a teenager who hadn't traveled abroad had COVID-19 and the virus had likely been spreading undetected throughout the Seattle area for weeks. Later that day, the CDC and FDA told Chu and her colleagues to stop testing, then partially relented, and the lab found several more cases. On Monday night, they were ordered to stop testing again.

"In the days since the teenager's test, the Seattle region has spun into crisis, with dozens of people testing positive and at least 22 dying," the Times notes. "The scientists said they believe that they will find evidence that the virus was infecting people even earlier, and that they could have alerted authorities sooner if they had been allowed to test."

And how is America any different from China now ? At least China have the decency to try and limit the outbreak by mass qurantine while Trump remain shameless and proud of it.

This.

All matches from LaLiga are gonna be held without crowd for 15 days, the Copa Del Rey final was postponed to May 30th, also international matches from the UEFA Champions League will be held without crowd. Tons of events being cancelled, schools closing down, and people are stocking up on supplies just like the US, since monday.

If it does get over to South America, the impact will be HUGE, especially in Venezuela. We don't have enough resources to handle that, nor the installations to properly test and isolate the infected, or a non-corrupt government where services work.

Ambulances, hospitals and even Morgues are a complete disaster.

I already live a semi-sedentary lifestyle since I work online, I barely go out, except for weekends when I grab something to eat somewhere or drink with my friends, things I can do at home, so I'm probably gonna be fine.

The only good thing we have in my city, is temperature. It's over 30C all year round which is supposedly bad for the virus, causing it to spread less efficiently.

My college(in CT) is holding a telecommuting drill this week. Say what you will of Connecticut, it's probably deserved, but I have quite a bit more faith in the state government than the federal government on this matter. I doubt they would run such a drill if they weren't considering the possibility of shutting down the state college system.

Seems so.

Italy- 2,313 new cases of COVID19 have been identified, as well as 196 new deaths in #Italy. This brings the total number of cases to 12,462 including 827 deaths.

Jesus.

Few possibilities

China lied and deaths are much higher than reported

Italy has a disproportionate amount of old people

Corona mutated

I'm sure there are more, that's off the top of my head

It's likely due to high levels of underdiagnosis in many countries, though Italy's older population is definitely a factor.

Interesting read relating to this from back in February about a very large % of the world's population getting it, though most will be fine. It's still devastating.
