Just keep like 3-4 lbs of meat in your freezer if you're worried. You don't need to "stockpile" though. Since this thing began I've had a backup supply of foods as both dry goods and frozen that would easily last me and my SO two weeks if we had to be fully quarantined. But I mean ... we're not sitting on a bunker-style stockpile of food. Even with that, I've had groceries dropped off at my door for over a month now, so it's not like I couldn't easily get groceries if I was in full lockdown. Meat is not going to run out, despite what Tyson is saying. Tyson's business is suffering, and they're trying to make it seem like a global shortage is on the way.
Coronavirus has mutated into three separate strains as it spreads across world
Dr Peter Forster, geneticist and lead author from the University of Cambridge, said: 'There are too many rapid mutations to neatly trace a Covid-19 family tree.'

Don't mind the second picture, it is showing early spread, it doesn't take into acount the spread of the Italian outbreak to Spain, Belgium, New York and France through the holiday period.

Situation in Chile:
After a change in methodology, we had several days with huge increases in daily cases, some days over the 1.000 positives. Today came close: 980 new positives in 24hrs. 10 new deaths too.
Total Cases: 20.643
Total deaths: 270
Estimated recovered (criteria is 14 days after confirmation or first sympthom, minus deaths): 10.415
Estimated active cases: 9.958
Connected to Ventilators: 354, 71 in critical state
7.913 tests reported in 24 hours, total of 214.131
Government went from using words like "Safe return", "Re-opening", "New normal" to "The Battle of Santiago" in a couple of days.

Because the tweet doesn't say it: they're also projecting 200,000 new cases a day by June 1st.
Big business got trillions, regular people got crumbs and more debt, and now they want you to go out and spend invisible money and risk getting sick.
It's based partly on a study that's been circulating for awhile, but get outside says British Columbia's provincial health officer. It's a couple of days old, but I think this is a good way to strike a balance as society moves forward.

Yup. Nice to see a health office back this up. Parks opening up is good for health and doesn't pose much of a disease risk
This is great info, thanks.
There's still no good evidence any particular strain is worse/more infectious than the others. Cuomo is just saying it's speculation right now. It could be true, but we don't know yet. While it does appear true that NY has more cases of the European strain, we know that all the major strains were already present on both coasts here in the US for some time.Coronavirus has mutated into three separate strains as it spreads across world

Given the virus' resistance to big mutations I'd speculate it's more likely that differences in mortality rate largely come down to the general age and overall health of the local populace as well as how overloaded the hospital capacity gets.
Continued spread (its not slowed down in many places) in addition to reopening in these very places will just accelerate this.
The NYC metro area is really the only real area that's seen a true downward bending of the curve.
Look at the map in this https://int.nyt.com/data/documenthe...f7319f4a55fd0ce5dc9/optimized/full.pdf#page=1
especially continued growth and continued plateaus
Thanks for sharing, hopefully we can calm down on demonizing people for going to the park with their family now.
Costco in the US is now limiting fresh meat purchases (beef, pork, poultry) to 3 items per customer. We'll still hear about no supply issues, though.

Good to hear that they are prepping well ahead of time on this. I imagine just mass drive through vaccine sites when this happens.
Yep. WA is already opening state parks and I'm hoping National Parks/Forests follow suit.
Obviously might need to make a few adjustments. Maybe cap parking. Do a better job sanitizing restrooms or close them if need be. Keep picnic areas and playgrounds taped off.
But like, I have no issue with people responsibly going to parks and beaches. I saw a tweet shaming some beach goers but the picture was using a super zoomed in perspective that made it look a LOT busier than it was. Can I guarantee all the groups were household members? No, but I didn't see any group of more than 5-6 and the groups were spread out/
In general, I find that pictures from a horizontal perspective aren't doing a great job showing how close groups actually are. In my area, the outdoor locations were certainly busy this weekend, but people were also (generally) abiding by distances between groups. In a picture I sent someone, I realized it looked like people were on top of each other when that wasn't really the case. If the data shows that there is significantly reduced threat to being outside, I think it should be encouraged and not shamed. As you mentioned, the restrooms and other supporting facilities are the tricky part.
One of my personal hopes is the open up Mt Rainer park but close the lodge/or limit access to it.
Ski season got shortened but there's still snow up there lemme iiiiiinnnnn
Once you come to terms with the facts that the White House is filled with eugenecists who don't even think the weak, destitute or elderly have anything to offer, it becomes quite easy to understand why they don't care about 3,000 Americans dying each day.
In addition, as reported here:
Istat, a marzo quasi il 50% di morti in più, record a Bergamo: +568%, a Roma -9,4%
Coronavirus, i dati Istat e Iss di marzo dicono che a marzo 2020 ci sono stati quasi il 50% di morti in più rispetto rispetto alla media 2015-2019 del mese di marzo, con record a Bergamo...
www.ilmessaggero.it
Given this percentage (52%), I suppose that many other deaths, which were nor reported because a test wasn't carried out, are due to Covid, and consequently the total count would be even more impressive.
Newsom's announcements today for CA:
10k current contract tracing individuals "hired", goal is 20k
Up to 30k tests per day (goal is 60-80k by fall)
Pickup for retail stores (like clothing, toy stores, etc.) will be allowed by Friday (Phase 2 beginning)
Counties that are further along can proceed further into Phase 2 changes on a local level so long as they meet certain criteria
Counties will be allowed to stay more strict than State's guidelines

This seems absolutely crazy!
If there is one thing you should be focused on it's protecting the elderly. Forget about everything else, this is by far the most important thing.
I can't speak for the other stuff, but I call bullshit on our testing capacity being adequate.

I'm still... reserved about this. Put me in the "too soon" and worried about the future. I would LOVE to be wrong, but I just... worry...
UK will get past Italy tomorrow and will have the second-highest death-count in the world.
Case doubling (after x amount of days, the total case number is doubled):
Russia is getting crazy with one of the lowest doubling dates for new cases worldwide (8 to 9 days the last week) Only Brazil and Peru are in the same boat (9 to 10 days)
France and Germany are above 90 days for case doubling,
Italy is above 70
Spain gets better with >110 days
Canada is still in the red with 19 days (basically flat)
UK not better at 24 (improving at 0,5 days per day)
And the US at 27 (Improving roughly 1 day per day, it was 20, 7 days ago)
