Hmmm not really. Florida has tons of suburban areas. Less smaller crowded areas like Chicago, NY etc
I live in FL for instance. There's barely people in my area compared to Miami. Some areas will be more affected than others for sure.
From my understanding South Korea is testing the most in the world. I've not heard of NY testing the most.
I saw this on twitter people are praising South Korea for its mass testing.
Erik Solheim on Twitter
“Bravo! South Korea 🇰🇷 has set up ‘phone booths’ that can test people for the coronavirus in just 7 minutes. The country has earned praise for its mass testing amid the Covid19 pandemic. https://t.co/lQ47UPdiaz”twitter.com
Just as of the last day or two NY is testing more per capita than South Korea.
Ah ok thanks for info. :) Good on NYC for testing, testing, testing.
Shit is annoying. I'm in a shelter in place state yet people can still go out to get food, go grab stuff from Best Buy, and so on. I deliver food through UberEats for some extra cash and people are still ordering like normal... yet I can't go into Trader Joe's to get some basic frozen goodies because it's empty outside of a few things here and there. They have a limit on items here now because people are hoarding.
again, i am 99% sure that number is just a mistake from worldometers. I've seen zero backing the numbers are that high today.
I think worldometers has over reported new york numbers. Cuomo had them at about 15k, not 22k as worldometers does. That would explain the 7k discrepancy.
There is a dire situation in some french hospitals, nurses are not trained for the ventilators in ICUs, so they increase personnel capacities but very few can handle the hardware.
An ICU nurse is very specialized in France, USA nurses are have a broader scope of operations, they are a little less specialized.
Consequently

difficult information said:
only thing that this virus has in common with the flu is some of the sympthoms.
not sure i got what you are asking, but if it is if the virus can mutate like the seasonal influenza does, yes it's possible, it's possible with every virus and the more it spreads the higher the chance of a mutation is.
So could this detect if people had the virus but are recovered now?
Elon Musk said children are "essentially immune".Even if it's a very rare occurrence, no age is 100% safe:

Emma, a 12-year-old girl, is "fighting for her life" in an Atlanta hospital after testing positive for the coronavirus, according to her cousin.edition.cnn.com
Get checked now (but call your doctor first).
This is why I went to urgent care before things got more crazy.
again, researches show that much more than age, it's the presence of pre-existing health conditions that is the main factor here.
of course old people have an higher chance of having some other illness that puts them at risk, but some children or young adults do too sadly.
I use the site developed by John Hopkins University. That's all I bother with.
I had a weird dream last night: an elderly black woman on a rocking chair. It seemed so real.
Anybody else having weird dreams?

Over 3,300 people have been tested in Virginia now. Sadly, over 200 people have tested positive so far, and 3 have died. =(
Yep. I had my first nightmare last night which I'm pretty damn sure is related to this. It's our brain's way to cope with highly stressful situations, and pretty normal for most people who still haven't adapted to what's becoming the new normal.
There's multiple strains of Coronaviruses as well, most are specific to animals, however there are seven strains that can infect humans. Most cause symptoms similar to the common cold and aren't that bad, all things considered.
The three major ones though are SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-Cov-2. All three of these viruses have reached epidemic (SARS/MERS) or pandemic (SARS-Cov-2).
The one thing all three of these viruses have in common is that they originated in bats, jumped to a species (Civets in the case of SARS, camels in the case of MERS) and then made the jump to humans. That's why I'm hoping that after this calms down, we're start to put more of a focus on coronaviruses in bat species so that we don't get caught off guard like this when it happens again (which it will).
What makes SARS-Cov-2 so bad is that it's much more virulent then SARS or MERS was, but retains everything that made those viruses so deadly. SARS-CoV-2 is related to SARS-CoV, hence the name, but it isn't a mutated strain of it, it's a new virus.
Even if it's a very rare occurrence, no age is 100% safe:

And no preexisting conditions.
I have a 13 y/o daughter and, well. I think that's enough news for me today
You can get takeout food but only go to work if it's essential. I"m getting mixed messages here.
In California and Oregon, patients are only being tested if (1) they're clearly showing symptoms and (2) they have pre-existing conditions that put them in an at-risk category. Anyone who doesn't meet at least those two criteria will be denied the test and told to simply self-quarantine.
I wouldn't look at the confirmed cases in CA and OR as an accurate count of infected. The only thing we can conclude about the numbers is that they are the count of people who have symptoms + pre-existing conditions + have tested positive. And so we're missing the full spectrum of every-fucking-body else.

up until this point worldometers has been very accurate and a lot faster than the Hopkins site. Wonder what's happening today.
Besides the usual updates nothing big will come from it.
I would guess providing food is an essential service.
Northam said he'll have more news to share about school closures tomorrow as well. i think (hope) he's about to shut shit down.
Essentially, yes. No parent should see this case and suddenly get more anxious. The level of risk is really very very low.
That and where they can even train now? Olympics are not happening 100%
So essentially nothing is any different. The stay at home order means nothing and is only In Name Only.
It's still a dangerous thing for him to say. How many of his 32.5M followers focused more on the "immune" than the "essentially". Quite a lot, I expect.
Another case of Hydroxychloroquine saving a patients life. I really hope this pans out as an effective treatment, but it irks me how the MAGA crowd are already giving Trump any and all credit for its success.

Yeah, I thnk a shelter-in-place order is very close to happening. The testing has been gradually increasing as well, but I still feel like it's not increasing fast enough.
