Not sure, but that dude needs a week off or something in isolation so he can come back fresh.
I keep hearing the 22nd is when the national lock down will happen.
Japan, culturally, tends to naturally preserve itself from the spread of airborne viruses in many ways. People don't talk to each other on public transportation. Wearing masks is incredibly common when someone feels unwell, even on a normal day. Coughs and sneezes are always covered. Shaking hands and hugging is not common at all.
from what I am seeing that is the last thing they want to do. This theory has been going around since 2015 maybe even earlier.
Well Trump did just say he had "become a major television star," and Trump wouldn't want anyone other than himself to get that sort of buzz.
What what? There are a lot of comments in this thread especially during the American day time about cures. I understand the need for hope, but promoting information that is not officially confirmed by medical authorities or WHO does more damage than helps. Which is exactly what Trump also does.
There's a cure, case closed, no need to worry about COVID anymore. /s
Stafford Act was already invoked a week or so ago. As for the possibility of a national lockdown, nobody knows. It certainly could be on the table. But the idea that "messages" are going out about it are kind of weird.
I think that's been a great help to keep the virus in check.
Formula 1 has postponed 3 more race weekends (Dutch, Spanish, and Monaco GPs) putting off the season until at least June. The dates for the races were scheduled for May 3rd, May 10th, and May 24th respectively. Full press release here:

Facebook. I know it's all fud but every time I ask that to any person who keeps spreading this rumor they all basically say the same thing they have a relative who works for the government.
A "national lockdown," should such a thing even be legal (and it probably isn't), would be the same in the US as it is in other countries: you're not supposed to leave your house unless you're going to work, the grocery store, or buying gas or other essentials, which isn't all that different from how many people are already living their lives. False rumors like the Stafford one are meant to evoke imagery of military patrols and people being shot for leaving their homes or whatever, meant to deliberately provoke panic and fearmongering.
This is kind of a "nothing" update so far. Just lots of pats on the back and stuff we already knew
Pence said that people who only shows symptoms to be tested.
How long does it take the symptoms to show?

It's like a trump rally. Just repeating how great Trump is and how he has the best response ever. This is the worst.
It's good information provided in a clear way. This is needed
Wut?
A high quality educational video by a very trustworthy source is to be welcomed.
Someone should threadmark this or put it in the OP so it's clear. My friend sent me that message on Sunday, and I knew it was BS, but I still kinda freaked and went to the store just in case.
Yeah, half of this press conference is 100% bullshit. Real information is nice to have.
What needs to happen is this thread needs to be closed and remade (we're at 650 pages now) with an informative OP that contains an FAQ debunking common rumors (no, you probably can't be reinfected; no, Trump is not declaring a lockdown; etc). People who do not read that OP, violate the rules, or otherwise post misinformation need to be banned. Mods have completely abandoned this thread despite the threadmark warning. We need to start over.
The citizens properly heeding government recommendations and not being flippant about it probably helps. To compare to the US, it'd be like if the majority in a single state actually followed the governor's call to lockdown, without the portion that decides to fly to a Texas/Florida Beach to party, most likely contract something if not spread it, then flying back and making the lockdown a lot less effective.
11 in Rwanda as of yesterday. Needless to say that their healthcare system cannot cope with this. A lot of old people are going to die earlier than they should, people who've already gone through so much hardship.Africa sees 'extremely rapid evolution' of pandemic, UN says

If it takes hold in these sorts of countries we're going to see hundreds of thousands die. :(
If we want an absolutely worst case scenario making unreasonable assumptions? Total population of the country multiplied by Italy's nearly 10% death rate. I don't think it'll be that, but I have a panicky brain that forces me to confront the idea on a daily basis.
A good-ish scenario would be 40% of the population times 1-3%.
Don't want to think about "best," it's not going to happen and we shouldn't hope for it.
This is all very rough back of the envelope math based on the projections and numbers available so far. It's uncharted territory, nobody really knows where this thing is going.

So, how do I know if the fatigue im feeling is from messed up sleep cycle (was on the west coast like 4 days ago, three hour difference) or if it's early symptoms of COVID?
I did travel to San Fran, Seattle and Portland in the last 10 days..
I don't have healthcare (afaik, might have some with the VA tho) and I don't want to stress the system. I'm not coughing and I don't know if it's worth going to the market to get a temperature checker.
my nose feels a bit clogged up too
No sneezing
