They have very few cases because they're barely testing.Still can't believe how well Japan is handling this. Seriously impressive.

Honestly with what the UK is doing we should think about limiting travel from the UK to the continent.
UK now on the shit list for going to the US, it didn't make much sense keeping us off anyway.
They seem to be relying on people choosing to self isolate if they have symptoms, rather than the government making people change behaviour.Spot on; it would do the opposite, and I don't think that's what the government is aiming to do - I just think that's what their inaction is likely to cause.
Andy Slavitt, who headed CMS under Obama is a good follow, he's been providing daily updates and is apparently consulting Federal, State and Local governments on the virus response. His successor of course is Seema Verma, the lady with the jewelry she wanted reimbursed that was worth $42k.
The white house is finally getting in order according to him.
Well... there are no shortages tho. It's much better to go shopping twice or three times a week and buy what you need instead of hoarding stuff.Politicians here in Germany claim there are "no shortages", yet some supermarkets are rolling out policies that restrict people to 2 cans and 2 packs of convenience food per household. They say that people should go shopping several times a week, not just once. Sounds like a great idea when there is a deadly virus spreading. Dumb fuckers.
I agree that's a huge misstep and the government should be imposing restrictions and making guidelines more explicit regarding things like events, public transport and home working. However, I'm still not convinced that there is a government strategy to infect 60% of the population early on in order to perpetuate immunity.They seem to be relying on people choosing to self isolate if they have symptoms, rather than the government making people change behaviour.

Travel bans this far in are low reward and lead to complacency. Italy were one of the first to ban China and Iran before anything had kicked off in the country.
How many deaths?
Why does Italy have a higher death rate relative to other countries?
I'll be careful n how I represent this: the NYT story on Monday with the King County (Seattle) doctor who was pointing out the issues with the federal testing bottleneck- she's a personal friend of ours and doesn't give a shit about politics - she has told us in plain language and in that story that your 1800 number (now updated to ~4000) is actually "we only have enough test kits and bandwidth to identify 1800 infected people out of a vastly larger number who are untested or asymptomatic" and that's Italy - the US version of that problem is likely way worse.+1800 infected in Lombardia alone, fucking hell. Still waiting for the actual national count.
Hmm call me crazy but maybe we should consider doing what they did?
I know there's a lot of skepticism with China's numbers, but with Apple re-opening stores and in general stories like that, it seems like they really may have managed to get it under control.
Unfortunately they are correct
2800 new active, not 3400. The others are ok.
Why tf are Canadians still travelling
There will be so many idiots still travelling for March Breaks won't there
3497 is the correct number of the total increment.
From my understanding, yes, he's still in charge of the overall "task force."
It's fake news
Jesus, this travel ban ambiguity is so stressful. I'm supposed to take my mom to SFO for a flight to Norway tomorrow.
