Bears Worst QB Yep checks out

So far 19 people have been tested at Silver Cross hospital, 10 negative, still waiting on 9 more results....

Potentially some good news, at least for the northern hemisphere

Perhaps there is a disconnect in the understanding of the various numbers and how comparable they are? This is now at least two separate public health officials releasing similar estimates for their states. Take it up with them, I guess.

Indiana came out today with an estimate of 60k people currently infected in that state alone. https://www.wfyi.org/news/articles/likely-more-than-60000-hoosiers-have-covid-19-says-state-health-director

The panic if this particular virus was killing children at more typical viral rates would be world ending I think.

re: the UK "plan"

Actual public health departments seem pretty confident about putting the total infected number in the hundreds of thousands already. Whole lotta infected are nearly or entirely asymptomatic but have been widely spreading it.

Indiana health department is estimating ~60k infections, Ohio was saying ~100k.

RIP hospitality industry

We are going to have substantial portions of the workforce on "unpaid leave" for weeks if not months.

Stay home.

Most people still don't get the gravity of this. Nearly the entire service industry is going to be shut down for weeks or months.

Vegas shutting down

Isn't the British "plan'" if it can be called that, being widely condemned by public health experts and institutions around the world?

Similar story at DFW and other airports. Can't imagine a better way to spread this virus from anyone infected on those planes back from Europe.

Oh right, that wording of mine isn't clear. If the nyt reporter is right about what measures are necessary to actually clamp down on this thing, there is no way we will or probably even can implement them. So we're looking at the same fate as Italy.

If that NYT health reporter is correct about what the necessary measures are, this is absolutely the future we have to look forward to in less than two weeks:

Hey caufiled does this guy's description of what China has actually done to get this under control sound right?

I would be surprised if schools reopen after March 30th. This isn't expected to peak until at least May.
