This is going to go nowhere, last time he called a special session was for gun control measures and the GOP-controlled legislature gaveled in and out in less than 2 minutes. That is what is going to happen here as well.
Just came in here to post this. When we started stay at home on 3/21, there were 753 confirmed cases. We are now at 8904.
Yeah I cannot imagine how worse it would have been with out all these mandates
I love how I'm seeing other states cancel going back to school for the rest of the year meanwhile the district my mom works for wants to get staff back into the building may 1st and just keep students home. How fucking dumb. This is NY, in the metro area.
It's only the spring election, nothing about the district court ruling, or the special session Evers is calling, has anything to do with the general election.

Should just link the site itself. it's got a lot of other good info for the state.

Lamont of CT now describing resource needs in terms of multiple peaks inside the state, one per major population region. In fairfield county (where I am), peak is projected around April 25. For New Haven (40 minutes away by car), peak is projected around May 7. For Hartford (a little over an hour away), peak is projected around May 20.
Question about asymptomatic carriers:
Can someone clarify this for me? Are there people who get the virus, experience zero symptoms or illness, and recover from it without even knowing it even happened at all?
Or, are they just asymptotic for a while, but eventually everyone that gets it gets ill to some extent?

They haven't even done legislation for getting rid of the 1-week wave period for Unemployment. I truly don't know how these people keep getting voted back in. Useless.
Okay, thanks—that's what I thought, but then you had posters here saying Evers just handed the state to the Dems the Nov. election, and I was confused.
I'm fairly sure you can have it without recognizing it. I.e. such a minor cough or sniffles you think it's allergies.
Polis just called for all Coloradoans to wear face coverings when in public. Not mandatory, but very strongly encouraged and will likely become mandatory if nobody does it.
Yeah, especially since we are dead in the middle of allergy season
Both, apparently the mayor of Miami tested positive (and has now tested negative) and had almost no symptoms.
Symptoms run the entire spectrum from none at all/mild cold to severe illness/death.
Thanks! Here's hoping that all of us have already had it, successfully recovered without even knowing it, and will now be safe!
I'm almost positive I've had it and had little to no symptoms.
I had a very minor cough (could still ski and go on runs)
But a friend of mine that was on a ski trip with me got an official test and tested positive. We were in very close proximity all the time.
I think it was something like 80% of cases had no to minor symptoms. Stuff you wouldnt even call out of work for.
Polis has a lot of faith in people to do the right thing and wants people to do it on their own, hence him dragging his feet to stay at home the state. He'll give it a week i think.
I believe it's mild to moderate symptoms. You can still feel like shit but not have a need to be hospitalized.
Hm. I had a really bad dry cough at the start of the year, and my roomie got it too. I live in NYC, but I feel like it would have been a bigger spread if we got it that early. I hope those antibody tests become more available in the weeks to come. Wishful thinking on my part, but man that would be a relief.
I believe it's around 50% of carriers show little to no symptoms.
The 80% number is for people that don't need hospitalization. There are still a lot of people getting very sick but aren't severe enough to go the ER.
My wife works in a school as well for children with disabilities and they had her go back in today for the first time in many weeks.

Falklands confirms first case of coronavirus – as it happened
President appears to undermine guidance; infection rate slows in Italy; Spain records first drop in daily death toll in four days

Just a little story from suburban Utah but a lady in my neighborhood is semi famous locally singer songwriter and she posted on facebook that she was doing a free concert at 2pm. It was heartwarming to see the neighbors outside on a nice day listening to beautiful music. really lifted me and the families spirits.
Humanity is so amazing and horrible all at the same time.

What's happening with Australia?
The number of new cases have basically peaked at 250/day and have remains there...
Is this a testing issue, or did they lock things down a while ago? Could the warm climate play a factor in limiting the spread?

I'm not trying to mitigate the virus, like at all (stay home for a couple of time ok ! ) but the father of my friend got covid-19 from his boss, and he was test positive 2 weeks ago, and he had absoluty nothing more then cough for like 4 days. No fever, no problem with breathing, anything. I know some people got affect way harder then that. But it's still pretty strange.
Yeah a friend of mine whos an accomplished Painist did a LotR piano stream for everyone, and you could tell it raised everyones spirits just to be able to enjoy the music like that. And then he ended it with the quote - "I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." and I was promptly in tears.
I think a big part of the variance is that its almost less the virus itself being the issue so much as the immune system response to it. And well, theres a pretty large variation when it comes to peoples immune systems.
I heavily suspect almost everybody experiences symptoms.
It's just for some you won't even recognize it as sickness (maybe you feel congested one day or have minor aches another, but no prolonged or worsening symptoms that would lead you to believe you were seriously ill). In the middle of cold, flu, and now allergy season, it may not be noticeably different than what you already expect or are used to, and so you just don't ever actually know you were infected (and you sure as hell can't get tested).
Which counterintuitively makes it more dangerous, as those people wouldn't have known to take precautions and stay isolated.
I'm worried. My girlfriend was a nurse at Mass General but started an office job in another department for MGH but in a satellite building the last week of February. Earlier this week they told her that she (along with many other RNs who were former bedside nurses) would likely be brought back as the surge of patients is happening. Her old floor was turned into a COVID unit. It's looking like that's going to be happening, she may even be called in starting this weekend. I don't know what to do. I was so relieved she got out when she did. Our apartment is a tiny one bedroom. I have no idea how we're going to sterilize everything when she gets home.
I was listening to my mayors update (Omaha, NE) and she shut down a frisbee golf place and put a sign up saying it was closed... vandalised the same day and hundreds of people continued to play. But no city or state shutdown is needed they say!
Does she have options to change before she leaves? I would advise her to just strip down once she gets in the apartment and shower immediately.
I think the bigger concern is not sterilizing when she comes home, but what she brings in her lungs, this is by far the greatest risk.
My best wishes to your wife, my wife is a Nurse Anesthetist, and is going to be stepping into some of this as well. It's not easy.
Google launched a webiste that shows tracking data from Google Maps.
https://www.google.com/covid19/mobility/
It for instance shows a 94% drop in Italy for visits to retail and recreational stores. Compared to 85% for the UK, 47% for the US, 24% for Sweden and 19% for South Korea.
I'm surprised it's so low for South Korea, they were for a while at least one of the harder hit countries. Sweden is being criticized for being too lax, but has a bigger drop yet more deaths. Maybe there's something to everyone wearing masks.

I've heard about this. Having different responses to an infection increases the chance of someone in the population surviving.
When I get home my first action is to walk inside, get undressed down to my under garments, toss them into a bag and then I hop in the shower
Granted I can do my laundry at the house. You may have it differently but putting it in garbage bags and closing them and placing them in the car or something until they can be washed may be a good start.
Conservatives don't like government, but it's something they can't get rid of, so they're perfectly OK with braindead morons being elected to keep anything from getting done.
These people are simpleminded, braindead idiots who lack anything close to critical thinking skills, which is why they hate colleges.
What'd he do? Or not do? I'm from SC and still have immediate family there.
My little town of 3,400 has their first reported case. County is up to 52 cases all together. No deaths yet, at least.
I have a question which might have been asked a few times already, but would appreciate if someone can answer this.
What exactly does it mean when someone says "so and so is asymptomatic to the covid".
Does it mean that person has the virus but is kinda immune to it (but can still spread it around).
Or does it mean that person has the virus, doesn't show any symptoms but still can get seriously ill/die from it.
