Texas has clamped down on LA. If you are LA you cannot inter Texas unless you go into 14 day lock down.

Florida done the same thing. Can't enter Florida if you're from LA

So long boys.....headed out Wed to Nola. This really sucks!

Be safe! Be praying for you!

[Cooterpoot]

Even the death numbers?

Or the not enough ICU bed numbers?

Do you believe the Chinese death numbers? Most do not.
Bed shortages depend on where. We don't currently have a shortage in MS.
You tell me how numbers are remotely correct on mortality rate etc. when hospitals don't use the same criteria for testing, states do not, countries do not. The data is simply thrown together. It's not comparing the same data.

I had someone send me a site tonight I hadn't seen before. I apologize if it's been linked here buried. Looks like a big shortage late April based on these projections.

I only listen to the press conference the task force has everyday. When they start to use numbers then I will listen. They seldom give numbers I think because of what you just said. What is crazy you can go listen to the spin on the cable news network after the press conference and honestly say bull shit on what they are saying.

Well I guess Mississippi gets a ****ing cookie then. Congrats on having enough beds right now. Italy had enough beds before they locked down, too I wonder if Tate will wait until Mississippi's hospitals are over run before he takes the steps everyone else has used to stem the tide of cases....

How long does it take for a test result to come back in Mississippi?

I'm not using Mortality rate. I'm counting BODIES. And Reefer Trucks outside of Hospitals in the USA to hold those bodies.

But keep on Mississippi.... I'm sure it will not have exponential growth there as well.

You know how many people probably have COVID and don't know it? 95% of all current cases are considered mild cases.

A lot I'm sure

95% of cases being mild does not mean 95% of people are unsure if it's cold of COVID.

South Korea did widespread testing and did nto show huge numbers of asymptomatic people are people who recovered from something they thought was just another cold.

Yeah, mild just means not hospitalized. Plus it's 5% at a minimum because a lot of places aren't reporting hospitalization data.

You should really dig through the article I just posted. It's good info. I know it is poorly laid out. The guy is brilliant when it comes to stats and exponential growth...but he needs an editor.

This is actually incorrect. I would REEEEAAALLLLYYY advise everyone to go read this article. I know it's a lot of reading but if you want to see the issues with the numbers coming out versus reported R0 and spread rates you will want to read this. It is importial and both good and bad news. I HIGHLY recommend it.

It’s an interesting article for sure, but regardless of what the true infection rates turn out to be, an awful lot of people are getting seriously sick and dying.

CITE for the 95% number? I have seen that 80% of the cases are "mild" Mild means they don't need a hospital BTW....

In 80% of known cases, COVID-19 causes mild to moderate illness, according to a report of a joint World Health Organization-China mission of 25 infectious disease experts held in China late last month.

Spreading shit like this will kill people....

I know one thing I've found out during all this. There are a ton of experts in the field of epidemology and infectious disease all over the internet. They are literally all over the internet on facebook, instagram, twitter and any other social media forum you can find. Who knew the world had so many experts?*****

Cyberspace has made everyone an expert, lol.

Yep in everything, from football to epidemology. I'm not an infectious disease expert but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night***
