Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

So what do you consider "isolated" and how many of those have to exist prior to the correct use of "around the country?"

 

The good news is, Dr. Fauci said he has listened to everything he has told him. So it seems at least behind the scenes he is listening.

 

More than a couple hot spots and that is why I have sued terms like "currently" and "yet".
We...don't...know.

 

It was somewhere between billions of sniffles to a few dead.

 

Old article (yesterday)...

I asked him about that earlier, he predicted about 2000 deaths total, though I believe he meant with current measures.

 

By this weekend we will have more cases of coronavirus than any other place in the world including what's been reported out of China. How can anyone think Trump handled this correctly by slow playing the urgency? We are screwed. There really is nothing to do now other than to either shut down the country like China or let it work its way through.

 

Proximity might account for a greater contraction rate, but would have little to do with death rate, which is more attributable to other factors.

 

Many times as well as showing the outrageous claims they made and how much of a joke they are.

 

Your commentary doesn't match the content of the linked article. Is that the article you meant to post?

 

Seeing they are now closing down poser businesses who remained opened as “essential”. GameStop, Joanna Fabrics. Lol. I don’t blame them though if they are looking at going under. This is crazy and tough times.

 

You’ve done no such thing. You don’t even understand that prophylactic measures, by their very design, are intended to reduce disease so it’s laughable for you to make any claims on the current trajectories WRT transmission and deaths.

 

That could be encouraging.

But when Trump's words are in stark contrast to Fauci's assessments and recommendations, there remains cause for concern. Trump should be leading on this issue, with the best information and advice available. Or getting out of the way and letting the experts lead.

 

Again, how about indulging me on this, and showing any factual data you have to back up your assertions.

 

get a room, but keep 6 feet away

 

In fairness, there is some history that cornoaviruses (not necessarily COVID19) have a lipid protective layer that is broken down by significant heat and humidity. However, even the research paper a few days ago on it indicates that the applicability of that to COVID19 is speculative at this point and there is no confirmation that it will happen.

 

I somewhat take offense to being included in "our."

 

My point being, more contractions equal more deaths, and the contraction rate on a cruise ship is likely higher and thus the mortality rate is likely higher then the same number of people social distancing.
