True. However, better early containment, much more testing and tracking of positive cases (rather than pretending they didn't exist), earlier mobilization of protective gear including masks and ventilators etc., would have gone a long way to both flattening the curve and increasing the healthcare system capacity. That might have lessened the need for a total shutdown and all the economic pain that inflicts on everyone who isn't a Republican Senator or their husband.
Biggest jump in USA's number so far, nearly 7000+ newly reported cases on Saturday alone, and more than the half(3785+) of new cases came from NY because of NY's aggressive testing approach.
NY state alone (20 million population) now has more confirmed cases than South Korea(8895 cases/50 million population) today and will suppress France's number(15000 cases/67 million population)tomorrow at this pace .
I expect situation in California,Washington and Florida would be as bad as NY if we conduct enough testings.

Yeah, that's good. I think Apple closed all of their US stores and are paying their employees that are staying home as well.
Best Buy really is out here with probably the best COVID-19 response I've seen. Pay increase for workers that come in, PTO for those feeling sick+those that now need to deal with their kids.
Good showing, makes me happy that I bought my laptop there.

FDA grants 'emergency use' coronavirus test that can deliver results in 45 minutes
Cepheid has received emergency authorization from the Food and Drug Administration to use its rapid molecular test for point-of-care patients that can detect coronavirus in 45 minutes. This is the first coronavirus that can be conducted entirely at the point of care for patients and deliver...www.cnbc.com
posted? Potential test that will take 45 minutes to get results. This works it could be huge
Yeah, people called the government rash but it's paid off so far
Nope, not like this. This is a once in a century event.
I'm not on Facebook so I'm not seeing the rumors or how they're being phrased, but I do think that route is almost inevitable since we are so behind on testing ramp-up. The number of cases are going to get out of hand very quickly at the current rate, even as more states announce their lockdowns.
H1N1/09 killed hundreds of thousands, but that was despite completely ineffective containment and the infection of about a billion people.
I see this model being the future of physical retail, even after the pandemic tbh. covid 19 is reshaping everything, and it will never go back even after the vacine.

There's a Japanese NYT reporter who has been chasing this story. Basically Japan is covering up their numbers because they're doing everything they can to make the olympics happen.
Pretty sure that's illegal as you cannot disrupt interstate travel. Probably won't stand up in court but hopefully it still deters people.
I'm going to push back on the Washington comparison. Washington is testing nearly 5000 per day and their positive result rate is continuing to drop towards 5%. At that percentage, Washington would need to be testing twice what NY has done in total since the outbreak started just to equal the number of positive cases that NY had today alone.Biggest jump in USA's number so far, nearly 7000+ newly reported cases on Saturday alone, and more than the half(3785+) of new cases came from NY because of NY's aggressive testing approach.

Yeah, everything seems fine and I hope it stays that way. Though the numbers are staying around 40-50 every day. Not really seeing a drop...
Is their health care system starting to be overwhelmed yet?
You're looking at numbers over a year period. If you divide it 365 it's more like an average of 767 H1n1 deaths per day worldwide. Corona is already killing 1600 per day and that number is exponentially growing.
