Not trying to belittle the situation at all, and I understand we need to "control it ". But that's only Bc of hospitals. This thing is going to run its course non matter what we do. There is not such thing as lock down. People have to eat and get Medicine etc. so you can't keep everyone home.... heck 1mil plus die in car crashes every year and that doesn't stop traffic....but the side effects of this, suicide, depression, etc will equal the death toll in the US when this is all said and done it's sad. There is a way to slow it, but no way to stop it.
Dude..... you are nothing but pessimism when it comes to this shit. I get it..... we're ****ed. But at least give some optimism. Like..... Italy may have peaked and is showing upside. Or..... a lot of states in the US locked down early and it may have helped the spread of the virus. All you keep talking about is how many people have died. **** you man. I hear enough of that shit on the news.
Right now is the time people should put their "gut feelings" and their "common sense" on the back burner and listen to the people in the field of study.
Lockdowns won't be perfect, some will still be assholes, but locking as much down as possible might keep.this from going from bad to catastrophic.

What's Washington state's numbers looking like since they essentially led off in the US? I can find total numbers, but not day-by-day

Much, much better than NY
Here's a link to the numbers: https://covidtracking.com/data/state...ngton/#history
It's hard to tell because MSDH doesn't give info on the # tests coming in from private labs, but their official numbers were actually quite lower yesterday.
71 official tests, 57 positive
The day before was 480 tests, 71 positive
It's hard to make sense of the test #s. I wish they'd start counting negatives from outside sources.
