They won't be able to do even that in NYC starting at 8 EDT tonight. That's when virtually total lockdown starts for them. 9000 cases so far in a very dense city.

1/3 of New Orleans hospitals are currently COVID-19 patients. Their numbers being posted everywhere are not correct. They will need temporary hospitals and assistance within a week at this rate. Some of you are taking this lightly, and it makes no damn sense. It hasn't hit home for those that don't believe this is a big deal..... but it will.
NY is getting hammered. What are Washington state's numbers doing? Any slow down there?

They're doing well relative to NY for sure.
They've been seeing this for two weeks. They don't have enough test to test people. They sent a friend of mine home who has it without testing him last week and told him to quarantine because he has it. His fever broke today and he's feeling better. He hoped this is the end of it. It's about to hit their police officers, healthcare workers, prisons, everything. The next 10 days in New Orleans are critical.
9,373 new cases and 118 deaths in the past 24 hours in the US
Yesterday: 4,825 new cases and 46 deaths
Yep. Look at all the people who called that medium article a "good read." I was really really disappointed to see that. A lot of lack of critical thinking going on this board. Thankfully I know most Mississippians know to store food not toilet papers when they have to shack up for a week or two so they should know how to handle this incoming lockdown. But I'm really disappointed to see people constantly trying to undersell this. My grandparents finally listened to me. Didn't go to church today but watched online. Told them I'd watch with them.
For those with loved ones in the at-risk category, please encourage them to stay home. Get their groceries / food for them. Offer to do things like church with them remotely. Church is the big struggle right now and I know how difficult it can be to get them to give that up. Offer to do bible study and watch remotely with them. No way God looks down on them for staying at home.
Tomorrow will be very important to see if Italy's numbers trend in the right direction again. Could give us a guess on how long till it peaks.
Me too. I reached out to MD Anderson today. As you all know, I'm a prostate cancer survivor. I've had 3 blood tests since my surgery and my PSA 0.0! That's great but I'm a couple weeks past due on my next blood test. I had to reschedule for April 6th in Hattiesburg. The last thing I want to do is sit in a doctors office that's in the hospital, then go to the lab where so many people go each day and have my blood drawn! MD Anderson told me "I'd be fine. I'm not a risk." I'm not too sure I'll be getting that test. I'll be nervous about the cancer but damn!!!
