The Covid-19 Info thread (keep politics out please)
First case of the COVID-19 in MS
JACKSON, Miss. ? Tonight the Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) reports its first presumptive positive case of coronavirus or COVID-19. Final verification will come from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The individual is a Forrest county adult male who recently traveled to Florida. After confirmation by the Mississippi State Department of Health's Public Health Laboratory, the patient voluntarily isolated himself at home to prevent further transmission to others. The patient was not hospitalized.
The Mississippi State Department of Health is conducting further investigation to limit spread of the virus from this case.
Governor Tate Reeves is fully aware of the situation and remains in close contact with the State Health Officer for all elements of COVID-19 response.
State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs will release additional information and guidelines to Mississippians at an 11:00 press conference tomorrow morning.

It’s pretty much everywhere now. We just don’t know how pervasive it is yet.
There's someone in my head but its not me.

pretty much a 1/3 of the US population is going to get it. probably around 3% are going to die. brutal.

What’s really scary for those of us with compromised immune systems is that many virologists are saying that eventually everyone will be exposed to it. If not this spring, then next winter.

That would be over 3,000,000 US deaths. To put that number in perspective, it's more than the population of Mississippi. I don't think it'll get anywhere near that bad.

Come on Jack... This isn't like war. Where they can just send somebody else's kid to a far off land. This shit is on the home front. It's gonna effect someone close everyone. No matter wealth, status, political party or race.

More like 1.5% will be serious and 0.5% will die....possibly much lower because there are now months of R&D

I'd bet you all your VCash that the US has 30,000 confirmed cases by the start of Summer. We didn't do enough to contain it initially and it will slowly spread out. Bad take.

Just so you know... that's only an average of 300 cases a day. The fact that we're starting to take testing seriously now and the CDC committed to waiving fees for it means the numbers of people actually getting tested for it is about to skyrocket.
I believe there's already 30,000 people carrying / infected in the states already. It takes so long for symptoms to show up and there is such a lack of testing availability that it's not reported correctly.

Looks like I misspoke. It's not even slowly spreading. We've gotten 1k new cases today.
