So probably the real cases double every day, so lets be optimistic and say only one thousand cases on March 1.

I would say the cases double every three days or so—probably optimistic as well (again, imho) so here is what that looks like:

March 2—2,000
March 5—4,000
March 8—8,000
Tomorrow—16,000
March 14—32,000
March 17—64,000
March 20—128,000
March 23—256,000
March 26—512,000

One million cases by the end of the month, 15% require hospitalization = 150,000.

Hospitals overwhelmed.

Sorry if I scared some folks... :-(

Crap. LV-Cov from Italy is in Los Angeles. They got both types. S-CoV and L-CoV (V-CoV). A cultural melting pot for viruses.

That is a mess .
I hope so too to be wrong .

They’re going through training, donning, doffing etc

“They will be wearing Military Chem suits with Military mask design for that environment.”

Anyone who thinks POTUS will allow National Guard to be shown on the teevee in full NBC suits is not paying attention.

Doctors in northern Italy say they could soon be forced to decide who will live and who will die, as intensive care units become overwhelmed. #Coronavirus mortality rate in Lombardy is now over 8% - likely higher than Wuhan.

Deaths in Italy from coronavirus have risen sharply in the past 24 hours, with 168 new deaths reported, Angelo Borrelli, head of Italy's Civil protection Agency said on Tuesday. On Monday, there was an increase of 97 deaths. The deaths announced today bring the total number of coronavirus deaths in Italy to 631. There are now 10,149 recorded cases of coronavirus in Italy.

Just had a horrible thought. Trump and Pence have maintained their travel schedules and meetings with lots of people. What if they both became incapacitated with Flu Manchu.

President Pelosi? God help us.

[ncalburt]

All politicos think of upcoming elections .
Why are we delaying following Spain and Israel smart swift actions ? They are scared to act due to upcoming election and donors . We are in for some interesting times here and across the globe .

China cannot justify bringing workers back if N95 masks dont work 100 %. Same problem with frontliners everywhere. So airborne and aerosol has to be legally buried. No doubt retracted under further review. Lol.

Thanks, TigerClaws.

I thought Pelosi was #3 being the majority Speaker. Scary as hell..

The National Guard is under the command of the Governor. That could be interesting

Lookner—Germany update
Some areas ban events over 1,000 people. Only place in US to do this so far is Santa Clara County.

My local area—Hartford, CT said no SP parade and no state High School tournament (didn’t catch which sport).

Feel free to hop in a cab with a vector for 20 minutes, it will bring up the signal-to-noise ratio tremendously on these threads.

[ncalburt]

Yes , will be ugly to explain our current lack of real action like
why the infected from Italy are still rolling in here hassle free or
the lab testing delay , or why did the Wuhan ban start so late so thousands of infected arrived here hassle free .......
Lots of interesting times ahead

Virons look more like an early tool to me lol.
