Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

You're still not grasping the growing implications.

Seven days ago, we had 2.2k cases
Currently we have 18.7k cases
Next week, it is possible that number jumps to 150k cases
The following week to 1.3 million cases
The week after that to 10 million cases

That is the exponential trajectory we are on. Even if only a small percentage of those cases end up needing hospital beds and ventilators, it can overwhelm the system, especially in places like LA and NYC metro areas where tens of millions of people live.

 

I'm glad we currently don't have a lot of serious cases (assuming this is true). I don't think those numbers will hold very long though.

 

Why no shutter in home from Trump? Seems weird to leave it up to individual states. He should just pull trigger on country. No business is getting done. I’d rather everyone shit done for 2-3 weeks versus rolling shutdowns across America.

 

I know I know. I'm an educator, force of habit.

 

I see what is going on and daily deaths will probably peak in 7 to 10 days. The real rate of death will be like the common flu per person infected in the US if they ever guesstimate the real numbers of people having it like they do to give their official flu % death numbers.

 

What source says the number of people killed will peak in 7-10 days?

 

Got to give congressman time to sell their stocks before he issues the order

 

As the total number of cases grows exponentially, so will the total number of serious cases and the total deaths. Even if we only reach the 1.3 million case number, that's a factor of nearly 600 times the 2,200 cases we had a week ago. Multiply the 60 serious cases we have today, and this means in two weeks, we could be looking at 36,000 serious cases in the US.

Most of these would likely be concentrated in the larger cities. But even so, are they ready to handle such an influx of people who need ICU beds with respirators? And what if we reach the 10 million case number, and it's over 350,000 critical cases?

 

His derriere

 

"Gator Fever" is the source that daily deaths for coronavirus in the US will peak no later than 10 days for the U.S. - 3/30/20. Mark it down for review.

 

SO are you saying they will peak 3/30 or 10 days after 3/30 need to know for accuracy

 

Disagree but noted.

 

FYI:
when using ratings on posts, "dislike" leaves the poster with a negative rep. "c'mon man" is a neutral(gray) rep

 

I put it in my sig for posterity

 

I am saying in the US sometime in the next 10 days we will get the peak number for daily deaths from coronavirus for a day that they publish on the counter sites.

 

I just figured this out yesterday. That's why I've been slingin' that bacon!!

 

Bacon is also neutral, the only neg rep is dislike

 

What?!? My efforts have been in vain! Noted good sir.
