    We are already well past the H1N1 numbers.

    H1N1 in green, covid19 in red.

    Blew last 50k cases today. I’m not good at math but that’s more than 15.

    meantime, NJ, PA MI GA IN and AZ all saw over 20 percent jumps in cases today - from past days and places, that often signals an inflection point, so those should be watched. NJ had 17 deaths and is probably still on the uptick from NY as well.

    actually, you’re the one detached from reality.

    the H1N1 numbers that you continually post religiously are taken from a pandemic that lasted well over a year.

    the growth curves for so many of these countries are parallel yet you expect ours to magically stop on March 30

    the US had its first indigenous case of covid-19 on March 1, just 23 days ago. And you continue to compare to a years + duration for H1N1.

    but you can’t even own that simple fact that your the only one comparing apples to oranges, so you continue to spout thrice baked crap and call anyone who disagrees with you or, god forbid, your vaulted to a deity imPOTUS, a leftist hack with an agenda.

    you’ve lost all sense of reality.

    and that’s a fact.

    Wrong. You are not entitled to your own facts. Based on current data, we are in an exponential curve for positive cases.

    I put fever on ignore and still I have to read through probably half the posts here trying to talk basic facts with him.
    Please please stop trying, if not for my sake, then your own. Let him have his opinion, he is more than entitled to it, but nothing, and I mean nothing is going to change an iota of his POV. It’s wasted energy.

    Swine flu has killed up to 17,000 in U.S.: report

    not sure why you keep throwing this chart out there. If anything it's very misleading. Maybe we get to the Swine flu deaths but we are a long way off and I hope we stay that way.

    The media should be ashamed for pushing this as a big part of the population is going to be financially destroyed for years over this hysteria if this goes on more than a few more weeks.

    I blame the government for that very vague warning. Any reasonable human can look at that picture and read that bright red label and be confused. /sarcasm

    Thanks for replying. It is very important to be very clear in stating what you mean LOL.

    On another note concerning Cuomo's intent on getting people back to work the following is his statement today concerning that:
    Probably "hundreds of thousands of people" have already had Covid-19, didn't know they had it, and recovered. Should be tested for antibodies so they could go back to work and keep the economy going.
    So I stand by what I said earlier in my interpretation of his previous statement and that was that he wants these people back to work sooner than later.

    That tweet has been retracted. MSNBC says it was an error and a misquote. They meant 50% may HAVE it.
