The Covid-19 Info thread (keep politics out please)

Passed 10,000 cases in US

[msstate7]

16 new cases in Mississippi today. A lot are showing up on the coast / Pearl River County.

I work with someone who has been tested. It was Sunday night, and he still hasn't gotten test results back. These you're speaking of where probably tested last week

Yep. This is a major part of the problem. We need faster tests. And we need more tests. We need to test everybody.

We are going to take a pretty good lick and then hopefully it'll wimper off after the surge. Looks like it will be ugly though. South Korea did a great job but they are going to be susceptible to repeat outbreaks because its still running so rampant everywhere else and they haven't built up much immunity in their country.

I think they'll do fine, they're probably testing on arrival to the country.

They might. They will have to be vigilant for a long time though. A lot easier for them to do than us I suppose.

I just listened to The President's presser live. He is literally doing the same thing. This attitude you are talking about, It comes from the top.

If we are going to get together as a country it would be nice if the guy in charge would hold off poking the fire

Trump could cure this thing himself and you?d be pissed he didn?t do it sooner. Just shut the hell up with all your political crap already. I come to this bird for anything but that.

5322 new cases and 427 new deaths in Italy

Can we leave the politics out?

Mods, the title says to keep politics out of it. Can we enforce that? Ridiculous that I come here to read about the latest developments, and I get to read a shit throwing contest.

This is of course slanted to a certain viewpoint, but does raise some questions to consider as to impacts

Why don't they tell number of tests for each day also? Drives me mad that we don't get that info also

There's a lot of percentages they're not sharing right now, which I don't appreciate.

The other thing that annoys me is they aren't giving any information on the people that test positive or whether there is any obvious transmission route.

It matters if somebody has recently traveled or not when people are assessing risk. We have cases in some relatively backwoods places, and if they aren't largely from people that have some idea of where they might have caught it, that tells us a lot about the likely prevalence in the area.

Exactly. I don't know if they're hiding the impact or don't have reliable ways to track the info or what, but the task force lady said in a WH briefing two days ago that she had just received a large amount of data that should help start helping us understand the impacts more. Then radio silence for days... I know testing was delayed for whatever reason at the outbreak, but now that everyone understands how severe this is why would we be waiting to share all the underlying data?

I don't think anyone knows your identity, so why would you care? You can be as sensationalistic as you want to be, when you are an anonymous message board warrior.

Well fwiw my friends and family that are calling this overblown or blaming it on the media know my opinion on this too, and it's the same. If you are ignoring what is happening and you are giving dangerous advice I don't respect you. And we probably should distance ourselves permanently in real life.

Pretty stunning lack of compassion out there right now.

Hysteria and compassion aren't the same thing.
