Because the thing that we currently call President is a fucking dumbass who couldn't lead a high pressured stream of water through a wet paper bag.
He's totally incapable of leading as he only cares about himself and money.

I'm so glad that social distance is actually working here on Washington, it's a good model for other states.
This is the correct answer, sadly. Today he went in front of the cameras and admitted that we should expect at least 100-240,000 Americans die in the next few months and that's IF we follow strict stay-at-home measures. He then refused to order such measures nationwide, despite literally just admitting it could costs hundreds of thousands of lives.
Interesting. Many of our international nurses (jamaican and Philippine in particlar) that we staff received this when they were an infant.
Makes sense cause everyone here basically stays to themselves regardless lol. Also couldn't help but notice the 4:20 time it was posted lol
Yeah it's basically been this though...
A bizarre detachment from the on-going crisis.
We canceled the river dyeing and the parades, but the bars remained open.
If we didn't lock down the casualties could have well surpassed every US death in every war of our entire existence combined (1.3 million)I found this shocking: 297 Americans died per day on average as casualties in WW2.
For the next couple of weeks Covid-19 deaths will far surpass that.

This is the first time I actually went to pick up food during dinner time, again also for my mom. It's just so wild walking into a taco place and taking two steps and seeing like a group of like 12 people waiting for the orders. I can't imagine how difficult it must be for restaurants right now but it drove me up a wall seeing all these people standing and waiting to order or to pick up and the one cashier still taking GrubHub orders or orders over the phone.
It's like businesses should really be careful about stuff like that, serve people who are there already before you just keep bringing more and more people to wait in your tight enclosed space.

It's seriously impressive that they were one of the first US outbreak locations, in a city that's a pseudo-island, and they've flattened the curve so well.
Yeah, I went to Chilis today and it was a parking lot with a serving tray besides every other parking space. They just came right up to my window and delivered the food. Passing by the empty mall and empty lots really hit it home for me today.
I'd guess this is a result of the parks/beaches being open on that nice day about a week ago. Luckily the weather has been pretty shitty since then, especially near the lake.
Why would a live attenuated form of Myobacterium give immunity to a virus?
They should already have been announced but can't find any updates anywhere.
It revs up the general/nonspecific parts of the immune system.
Is there something different in the vaccine in this study? Because it is still a mandatory vaccine here (Brazil) and give at birth.
I really cant believe 100-200k people would die even if all our measures were done correctly. Are we sure they aren't just estimating high?
The repercussions are delayed for something like Spring Break. It can be several weeks from some college kid getting infected, to the person they infect getting sick, then going to the hospital, then getting tested and then getting results.
But they weren't and still aren't done correctly. This is like last resort and we're still not fully locked down. Correctly is testing and tracing and locking down much earlier.
There's already been more deaths in the US than 9/11 and we're weeks away from the peak.
its just insane to me. even China, even if they are lying, i doubt it reached 100k.
Sadly, 100-200k deaths in the US is currently the low ball, best case scenario estimate.
If anything, we are estimating far too low, because our fucking narcissistic sociopath "President" has still done LITERALLY NOTHING at the national level to make mass testing happen, to close anything down, to limit gatherings, or even get doctor's the equipment they need.

At the national level, we are handling this worse than China (and almost everyone else) in every possible way.
That is the best case scenari, unfortunately. I fully expect it to shoot above that figure for the US. This pandemic has come at the worst possible time for the US.
So that brings the total number of new deaths in the US today to 912 and total deaths so far to 4053, right?
100,000-200,000 is like .03-.06 percent of the population, so, yeah, I don't think people are mentally prepared for the death toll we could see. This dwarfs 9/11 and recent wars we've been in by several magnitudes, as far as U.S. casualties. I'm still hoping that social distancing will help us though.
Lockdown can only do so much while alot of other states refused to, did it really late. or half ass it.
The lack of supplies and test kits alone will kill alot of people because of this stupid dumb fuck.
China literally weld doors shut lol.
I mean it's the pros and cons of an authoratarian state I guess.
People praise singapore, but people gotta remember also that China based a lot of policies on what they learnt from Lee Kuan Yew.
Yep, and looks like worldometers resets at 10PM EST so these will count for tomorrow's #s.

Sheesh US might hit 1,000 in a day, knew it was coming but didn't expect it this soon

it is inevitable. its like people want him to be fired by asking him questions like that. "its going to get worse before it gets better" doesn't even consider what Trump is going to do between now and then.
Has Florida even locked down yet? Georgia? NYC is undoubtedly bad, but these other places had warning and still failed to do anything.
It's already approaching 1k daily deaths and it's not slowing down, just a week ago the US wasn't even at 200 daily deaths. Just imagine what it will be at next week.
Normally they should still be added to today's numbers since those were announced before 10pm. Worldometer is just ridiculously slow in updating those pm numbers.
In the US, we have 5 hours left in the day and there has already been:
- 912 new deaths
- 24,742 new cases
Absolutely insane. We're about to pass 200,000 cases and 4000 deaths.
We need a mandatory NATIONAL shutdown NOW. Only truly essential businesses should be allowed open.

I work for a paint company. Luckily no one has been laid off as of yet. Our stores are still open but providing pickup/dropoff services. My manager sent out an email that said overall of course commercial business is down, individual purchases for home painting is up.
